Key Features:
ICON’s 2.5 Series Standard Rear Shocks incorporate cutting-edge design elements and materials to deliver superior ride quality and durability:
- One-piece digressive piston with vehicle-specific valving for precise damping and ride control
- Internal “Bump Zone” created by a 6061 billet aluminum manifold increases damping force by 20% to prevent harsh bottom-outs
- Externally adjustable ICON CDC Valve offers 10 levels of compression damping for fine-tuning suspension performance
- CAD plated, precision-machined 1026 DOM steel shock body ensures maximum strength and corrosion resistance
- Piggyback reservoir design enhances heat dissipation to reduce shock fade during extended use
- Premium grade 5WT shock oil maintains consistent damping across a wide temperature range
- PTFE lined spherical bearings and application-specific mounting hardware for smooth articulation and fitment
- 7/8” diameter induction hardened, chrome-plated shock shaft for superior wear resistance
- Nitrogen charged monotube design with piggyback reservoir for improved performance and durability
- 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum CNC machined components for lightweight strength
- 100% rebuildable and revalveable for long-term service and customization
Construction & Design:
ICON’s 2.5 Series shocks are meticulously crafted using premium materials and advanced manufacturing techniques. The shock body is constructed from 1026 DOM steel with a CAD plating finish, providing exceptional durability and corrosion resistance essential for off-road environments. The shock shaft is induction hardened and chrome plated to withstand wear and maintain smooth operation over time.
The piggyback reservoir design not only improves heat dissipation but also allows for a larger volume of shock oil, reducing fade during prolonged or aggressive driving. The internal bump zone, created by a billet aluminum manifold, adds an extra layer of damping control as the shock approaches full compression, enhancing ride quality and suspension control over rough terrain.
Installation & Fitment:
These ICON 2.5 Series Standard Rear Shocks are designed as a direct fit for Ram 2500 models from 2014 through 2018, including Big Horn, Laramie, Laramie Limited (2014–2015), Laramie Longhorn, Limited (2016–2018), Lone Star (2014–2015), Outdoorsman (2014–2016), Power Wagon, SLT, and Tradesman trims. Installation requires no modifications, making it a straightforward upgrade for owners looking to enhance their suspension system.
Each shock comes with application-specific mounting hardware and PTFE lined spherical bearings to ensure proper fit and smooth articulation. Professional installation is recommended to achieve optimal performance and safety.
