ICON Stage 1 Suspension System for 2009-2018 Ram 1500 4WD 0.75-2.5" Lift

The ICON Stage 1 Suspension System is a bolt-on front coilover and rear shock upgrade for 2009–2018 Ram 1500 4WD trucks, delivering 0.75–2.5" of adjustable front lift and 1–3" of rear lift. The system pairs ICON's 2.5" V.S. Internal Reservoir coilovers up front with 2.0 Aluminum Series monotube rear shocks, and is also compatible with 2019–2022 Ram 1500 Classic models.

Tuned Front-to-Rear Balance

The front 2.5" coilovers and rear 2.0 monotube shocks are valved specifically for the Ram 1500 platform, so damping characteristics are matched across both axles. That vehicle-specific tuning means the truck responds predictably whether you're loaded for a camping run or pushing hard on a dirt road, rather than feeling soft at one end and stiff at the other.

Adjustable Lift Without Sacrificing OEM Fitment

Coilover height is adjustable across the full 0.75–2.5" front lift range, letting you dial in ride height to clear larger tires or match a specific stance without swapping springs. OEM wheels and tires retain their fitment at any setting within that range. For drivers moving to larger rubber, ICON recommends 17×8.5" wheels with 4.75" backspacing and 0mm offset, paired with 33×11.50" tires; larger tires may fit but can require fender trimming.

Bolt-On Construction with Serviceable Components

All components are CNC-machined from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, and FK rod end bearings are used throughout to reduce deflection and extend service life. Installation requires no drilling or welding. Both the coilovers and rear shocks are fully serviceable after installation, so worn internals can be rebuilt rather than replaced outright.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This system suits 2009–2018 Ram 1500 4WD owners, and 2019–2022 Ram 1500 Classic owners, who want a bolt-on lift and performance shock upgrade for mixed on-road and off-road use without modifying the frame or body.

This system is not compatible with Ram 1500 models equipped with OE air suspension. It is not a 2WD fitment and does not cover Ram 1500 trucks outside the 2009–2018 model years (except the 2019–2022 Classic). Larger tires beyond 33×11.50" may require fender trimming and additional modifications not included in this kit.

Common Questions

Does this system fit the 2019 and newer Ram 1500?

The ICON Stage 1 system for the 2009–2018 Ram 1500 4WD is also compatible with 2019–2022 Ram 1500 Classic models. It is not designed for the standard 2019-and-newer Ram 1500 (DT platform) or any Ram 1500 equipped with factory air suspension.

Will my factory wheels and tires still fit after installation?

Yes. The ICON Stage 1 system is confirmed to retain OEM wheel and tire fitment at any lift setting within the 0.75–2.5" front range. For aftermarket fitments, ICON recommends 17×8.5" wheels with 4.75" backspacing and 0mm offset, paired with 33×11.50" tires.

Is drilling or welding required to install this kit?

No. The ICON Stage 1 Ram 1500 suspension system is a bolt-on kit. Installation does not require drilling, welding, or permanent modification to the vehicle's frame or body.

What components are included in the Stage 1 kit?

The Stage 1 system includes one 2.5" V.S. Internal Reservoir front coilover kit and two 2.0 Aluminum Series Internal Reservoir rear shocks. Eibach coil springs are included with the front coilovers. A spanner wrench for coilover preload adjustment is available separately.

Can the shocks be serviced after installation?

Yes. Both the front coilovers and the rear 2.0 shocks in this ICON Stage 1 system are fully serviceable, meaning worn internals can be rebuilt rather than requiring complete shock replacement.
