27821EP

Overview:

The ICON 2.5 Series 2.5in Front Shocks with Compression Damping Electronic Valve (CDEV) technology deliver advanced suspension performance tailored specifically for Jeep Wrangler (2018–2023) and Jeep Gladiator (2020–2023) models equipped with the 3.6L V6 gasoline engine. Designed for off-road enthusiasts who demand precision control and a smooth ride on the street, these shocks feature electronically controlled damping that adapts instantly to changing terrain. Powered by ICON Intelligent Control and a proprietary mobile app, the system continuously adjusts compression damping for optimal handling and comfort.

These shocks are engineered to provide superior ride quality and enhanced vehicle control, making them ideal for drivers who push their Jeeps through rugged trails yet want refined performance during everyday driving.

Key Features:

ICON’s 2.5 Series Front Shocks incorporate cutting-edge technology and premium materials to maximize durability and performance:

• Compression Damping Electronic Valve (CDEV) offers infinitely variable, electronically controlled compression damping adjustments in under 40 milliseconds
• ICON Intelligent Control system uses onboard G-force sensors and gyroscopes to predict terrain and adjust shock settings dynamically
• One-piece digressive piston design with vehicle-specific valving for balanced off-road capability and street comfort
• Internal “Bump Zone” increases damping by 20% near full compression for improved control over harsh impacts
• Hard anodized, impact-extruded aluminum cylinders resist corrosion and maintain a consistent finish
• Premium 5WT shock oil ensures consistent damping performance across a wide temperature range
• Remote reservoir design enhances heat dissipation, reducing shock fade during extended use
• PTFE-lined spherical bearings and application-specific mounting hardware for durability and precise fitment
• 7/8” diameter induction hardened, chrome-plated shock shaft for strength and smooth operation
• Nitrogen-charged monotube design with piggyback reservoir for consistent damping and improved response
• 100% revalveable and rebuildable for long-term serviceability

Construction & Design:

Built with 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum and CNC-machined components, ICON’s 2.5 Series shocks combine lightweight strength with precision engineering. The one-piece digressive piston and custom hydraulic circuits are tailored to each Jeep model and application, ensuring optimal damping characteristics. The hard anodized finish protects against corrosion and wear, while the remote reservoir design improves heat management to maintain consistent performance during demanding off-road conditions.

Every shock shaft is induction hardened and chrome plated to resist bending and corrosion, while PTFE-lined spherical bearings reduce friction and enhance durability. This meticulous construction results in a shock absorber that excels in both rugged trail environments and daily driving scenarios.

Installation & Fitment:

These ICON 2.5 Series Front Shocks are designed for direct fitment on Jeep Wrangler models from 2018 through 2023 and Jeep Gladiator models from 2020 through 2023, specifically those equipped with the 3.6L V6 gasoline engine. They are not compatible with Wrangler models featuring the 3.6L V6 eTorque engine. Installation requires no major modifications, as the shocks come with application-specific mounting hardware and are pre-configured in length and damping tune for each vehicle.

Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper setup and calibration of the ICON Intelligent Control system for optimal performance.

What's Included:

• Pair of ICON 2.5 Series 2.5in Front Shocks with CDEV technology
• Application-specific mounting hardware
• Remote reservoirs integrated with shock bodies
• Access to ICON Intelligent Control mobile app for shock tuning and monitoring

Ideal For:

This shock system is ideal for Jeep owners who demand a versatile suspension capable of handling aggressive off-road terrain while maintaining street-worthy ride comfort. Whether tackling rocky trails, desert runs, or daily commutes, these shocks provide adaptive damping control that enhances vehicle stability, traction, and driver confidence. Enthusiasts seeking a technologically advanced, durable, and rebuildable shock solution will find the ICON 2.5 Series Front Shocks an excellent upgrade for their Wrangler or Gladiator.

ICON Vehicle Dynamics builds performance suspension components for trucks and SUVs—think coilovers, shocks, lift/leveling systems, and supporting hardware engineered for hard off-road use. Their setups are designed to improve control, ride quality, and durability when you’re pushing faster over rough terrain or building a capable overland/trail rig.
