Key Features:
Designed with advanced technology and premium materials, the ICON 2.5 Series Rear Shocks deliver unmatched performance and durability. Key features include:
- Vehicle-specific valving and length for optimized damping and fitment on Jeep Gladiator 2020–2023 models
- One-piece digressive piston design for superior ride quality and consistent performance on and off-road
- Unique internal “Bump Zone” created by a 6061 billet aluminum manifold, increasing damping force by 20% to prevent harsh bottom outs
- 100% rebuildable and revalveable design for long-term serviceability and customizable tuning
- Premium grade 5WT shock oil ensuring consistent damping across a wide temperature range
- Remote reservoir design for improved heat dissipation and reduced shock fade during extended use
- 7/8” diameter induction hardened, chrome-plated shock shaft for enhanced strength and corrosion resistance
- PTFE lined spherical bearings and application-specific mounting hardware for precise fit and durability
- Includes protective shin guards to shield shock shafts from debris during off-road excursions
Construction & Design:
The ICON 2.5 Series Rear Shocks are crafted from high-quality materials to withstand the rigors of off-road driving while providing a refined street ride. The shock bodies are constructed from one-piece impact-extruded aluminum cylinders, offering excellent corrosion resistance and a consistent finish. CNC-machined 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum components ensure precision and durability throughout the shock assembly.
The shocks utilize a nitrogen-charged monotube design with a piggyback reservoir, which enhances heat dissipation and maintains consistent damping performance under demanding conditions. The 7/8” chrome-plated shock shaft is induction hardened for superior wear resistance, while the PTFE lined spherical bearings reduce friction and improve articulation.
Installation & Fitment:
These rear shocks are engineered for direct fitment on Jeep Gladiator models from 2020 to 2023, including the 80th Anniversary, Altitude, Freedom, High Altitude, Launch Edition, Mojave, Overland, Rubicon, Sport, Sport S, Texas Trail, Willys, and Willys Sport trims. Installation requires the use of a sway bar relocation kit (Part #22062) or sway bar link kit (Part #22070) when combined with JT coil spacers or coil springs to ensure proper suspension geometry and clearance.
Installation is straightforward for experienced technicians and enthusiasts familiar with suspension upgrades. The shocks come with all necessary mounting hardware specific to the Jeep Gladiator application.
