ICON 2015-2020 Ford F-150 4WD 2.5 VS Remote Reservoir CDCV Front Coilover Kit

The ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2.5 VS Remote Reservoir CDCV Front Coilover Kit is a bolt-on front suspension upgrade for 2015–2020 Ford F-150 4WD trucks, delivering 2–2.63 inches of lift height adjustability through vehicle-specific valving and a 10-position external CDC Valve. The kit is compatible with OEM wheels and tires and is available in one configuration for the 4WD F-150 platform.

Larger Shock Body, More Consistent Damping

The 2.5-inch shock body provides greater piston area than stock components, which translates to improved damping force across a wider range of terrain and load conditions. A larger piston area means the shock can move more fluid per stroke, so the damping response stays more linear whether the truck is loaded for a trail run or unloaded on the highway. The corrosion-resistant CAD-plated shock body and 7/8-inch shaft are CNC machined from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, reducing the risk of fade or structural fatigue over extended use.

Remote Reservoirs for Extended Off-Road Performance

Remote reservoirs increase the total fluid volume available to the shock, which keeps operating temperatures lower during sustained hard use (repeated high-speed whoops, rocky descents, or loaded towing on rough roads). Cooler fluid maintains consistent viscosity, so the damping character the kit was tuned for holds up through a full day of off-road driving rather than degrading as the shocks heat up. FK rod end bearings at the lower bar pin reduce deflection and extend service life compared to rubber bushings.

External Tuning Without Disassembly

The included ICON CDC Valve (CDCV) provides 10 distinct damping settings adjustable from outside the shock body. Turning the adjuster moves the ride feel from soft (comfort-biased, better for washboard or highway) to firm (control-biased, better for high-speed off-road or heavy loads) without removing the shock or sending it out for revalving. This makes it practical to dial in the truck for different trip types rather than accepting a single fixed tune.

Features

• 2.5-inch shock body: increased piston area over stock for improved damping ability
• ICON CDC Valve: 10-position external adjuster, soft to firm, no disassembly required
• Remote reservoir: cooler operating temperatures during extended off-road use
• Adjustable lift height: 2–2.63 inches over stock (1.5–2.13 inches on Power Stroke diesel models)
• ICON Eibach springs: vehicle-specifically tuned coil springs included
• 100% bolt-on: no cutting or welding required for installation

Who This Is For and Isn't

This kit suits owners of 2015–2020 Ford F-150 4WD trucks who want a front suspension upgrade with 2–2.63 inches of lift, improved damping over stock, and the ability to tune ride feel externally without removing the shocks. It works with OEM wheels and tires and is compatible with the recommended ICON Alloys aftermarket wheel sizes listed above.

This kit does not fit two-wheel-drive F-150 models, F-150 variants outside the 2015–2020 model years, or any other vehicle. Power Stroke diesel-equipped F-150s achieve a reduced lift range of 1.5–2.13 inches rather than the standard 2–2.63 inches. Rear shocks are not included; ICON recommends pairing with ICON 2.0 Aluminum Series or 2.5 Series rear shocks. Lifts above 2 inches over stock may require aftermarket front upper control arms to maintain proper alignment. Tires larger than 33×11.50 inches may require fender trimming and additional modifications.

Common Questions

Does this kit fit two-wheel-drive F-150 trucks?

No. The ICON 2.5 VS Remote Reservoir CDCV Front Coilover Kit is compatible with 4-wheel-drive 2015–2020 Ford F-150 models only. Two-wheel-drive F-150 variants are not supported by this kit.

What lift height does this kit provide on a Power Stroke diesel F-150?

On Power Stroke diesel-equipped 2015–2020 Ford F-150 4WD trucks, this front coilover kit provides a lift height range of 1.5–2.13 inches over stock, rather than the standard 2–2.63-inch range available on gasoline-engine models.

Are rear shocks included in this kit?

No. This kit covers the front suspension only. ICON recommends pairing these front coilovers with ICON 2.0 Aluminum Series or 2.5 Series rear shocks to balance vehicle control front to rear; those rear shocks are sold separately.

Will this kit work with my factory wheels and tires?

Yes. The ICON 2.5 VS Front Coilover Kit is confirmed compatible with OEM wheels and tires on the 2015–2020 Ford F-150 4WD. For aftermarket fitments, ICON recommends specific wheel sizes and a 33×11.50-inch tire; tires larger than that may require fender trimming or other modifications.

Do I need to cut or weld anything to install this kit?

No cutting or welding is required. The ICON 2.5 VS Front Coilover Kit is a 100% bolt-on installation on compatible 2015–2020 Ford F-150 4WD trucks. Lifts above 2 inches over stock may require aftermarket front upper control arms to maintain proper alignment after installation.
