ICON 11-16 GM HD 6-8in Front 2.5 Series Shocks VS IR w/ Upper Control Arm - Pair

If you're lifting your 2011-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD or 3500 HD, or your GMC Sierra 2500 HD or 3500 HD, by 6 to 8 inches, these ICON 2.5 Series front shocks are built to handle the demands. They're specifically tuned for these heavy-duty trucks, offering a noticeable improvement in both on-road comfort and off-road capability. ICON designs these shocks to be a direct fit for your lifted application, ensuring they work seamlessly with your vehicle's suspension geometry.

What sets these shocks apart is their larger 2.5-inch diameter body, which holds more oil than smaller shocks. This increased oil volume helps dissipate heat more effectively, reducing the chance of shock fade during extended use, like long desert runs or aggressive trail riding. The internal reservoir further aids in cooling and provides a dedicated space for the nitrogen charge, contributing to consistent damping performance. Inside, a one-piece digressive piston works with vehicle-specific valving to provide a balanced ride, absorbing impacts smoothly on the pavement while maintaining control over rough terrain. The shock body itself is constructed from durable, CAD-plated 1026 DOM steel, offering solid protection against corrosion and impacts. Plus, these shocks are fully rebuildable and revalveable, meaning you can service them to keep them performing at their best for years to come.

This kit comes as a pair, including the necessary upper control arms designed to work with the extended travel of these shocks. The 7/8-inch induction hardened, chrome-plated shock shaft is strong and resistant to bending, while the PTFE-lined spherical bearings ensure smooth articulation at the mounting points. All CNC machined components are made from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum for a good balance of strength and light weight.
