ICON Stage 3 3.0 CDXS Suspension System for 2022-2026 Toyota Tundra 2-3.25" Lift Tubular

The ICON Vehicle Dynamics Stage 3 3.0 Suspension System (K53213TD) is a complete eight-component lift and performance suspension kit for the 2022–2026 Toyota Tundra, delivering 2–3.25" of front lift over stock on most i-Force gasoline sub-models and supporting fitment of up to 35" tires. The system pairs 3.0 Series CDXS remote-reservoir front coilovers and rear shocks with tubular upper control arms, tubular rear upper and lower links, a billet adjustable rear track bar, triple-rate rear coil springs, and a front sway bar drop kit. Front lift range varies by sub-model and powertrain; see application notes below.

3.0 Series Shocks with CDXS Compression Tuning

The 3.0 Series remote-reservoir coilovers and rear shocks at the core of this system carry ICON's Compression Damping Dual Speed (CDXS) valving, which independently controls high-speed and low-speed compression force. Ten detented settings on each adjustment knob let the driver dial in handling response and overall aggressiveness separately, which is useful when a truck splits time between highway commuting and rough off-road terrain. The 3.0 Series shock body provides 50% more piston surface area in the ride zone and 100% more in the Bump Zone compared to 2.5 Series shocks, and the remote reservoirs increase internal oil volume and external surface area for greater heat dissipation and resistance to shock fade under sustained hard use.

Corrected Geometry and Full Suspension Travel

The tubular steel front upper control arms replace the OE arms with corrected front-end geometry, added caster, and improved component clearance. The ICON Delta Joint PRO, a serviceable and rebuildable ball joint replacement, allows full bump and droop travel while eliminating bind. The vehicle-specific shock length yields up to a 40% increase in front wheel travel over stock. At the rear, the 3.0 Series shocks deliver a 20% increase in rear wheel travel over stock, and the tubular DOM rear upper and lower links (1-3/4 x .313 wall tubing, multi-stage black powder coat) use PTFE-lined FK rod ends for increased articulation and link-length adjustability without periodic greasing.

Rear Axle Centering and Triple-Rate Spring Comfort

The billet 6061 aluminum adjustable rear track bar, CNC machined and anodized, centers the rear axle after the lift and allows fine length adjustment on the vehicle without removal or disassembly. The triple-rate rear coil springs provide a softer droop and ride rate with a firmer overload rate, balancing on-road comfort against bottoming resistance off-road. On non-TRD Tundras the rear springs net 0.5" of rear lift; on Tundras equipped with TRD Off-Road, TRD Sport, or TRD Pro suspension packages they net 0" of rear lift, maintaining stock rear height.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This system suits 2022–2026 Toyota Tundra owners (4WD and 2WD models without Adaptive Variable Suspension or Load-Leveling Rear Height Control Air Suspension) who want a complete, tunable lift and performance suspension upgrade supporting up to 35" tires and significantly increased wheel travel for off-road use.

This system is not compatible with Tundras equipped with Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) or Load-Leveling Rear Height Control Air Suspension. Tundras with Load-Leveling Rear Height Control Air Suspension require part #55153 in addition to this kit and remain incompatible with the air suspension function. ADAS recalibration is required after installation. 4WD models without the TRD Off-Road package require the ICON Differential Drop (part #55156) or Toyota TRD axles to avoid potential front axle damage. Tundras equipped with the TRD aluminum skid plate require part #55164. Buyers seeking taller rear ride height on TRD-equipped models should consider part #K53213TDS instead.

Common Questions

What lift height will this system give my Tundra?

Front lift height on this Stage 3 system depends on sub-model and powertrain. Most Tundra sub-models with the i-Force gasoline engine achieve 2–3.25" of front lift over stock. The i-Force MAX hybrid achieves 2–2.75". TRD Pro models achieve 0–1.25". SR5 models with the TRD Sport Suspension package achieve 3–4.5". All figures are for a stock-equipped vehicle; adding accessories that increase vehicle weight will alter the lift range.

Is this system compatible with my Tundra's factory air suspension or AVS?

The Stage 3 3.0 system is not compatible with Tundras equipped with Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) or Load-Leveling Rear Height Control Air Suspension. Tundras with automatic leveling headlights also require ICON part #55153. Buyers should confirm which suspension and headlight options their specific Tundra carries before ordering.

What does CDXS mean, and how is it adjusted?

CDXS stands for Compression Damping Dual Speed, ICON's valving system that independently controls high-speed and low-speed compression force. Both the front coilovers and rear shocks in this Stage 3 system include CDXS. Each shock has two adjustment knobs (one for high-speed compression, one for low-speed compression), each with 10 detented settings, so the driver can tune handling response and overall aggressiveness independently.

Does the 4WD Tundra need any additional parts beyond this kit?

4WD Tundra models without the TRD Off-Road package require either the ICON Differential Drop (part #55156) or Toyota TRD axles (driver #434200C020, passenger #434100C020) to avoid potential front axle damage. This additional part is not required for TRD Pro models. ADAS recalibration is also required after installation on all models.

What components are included in this Stage 3 system?

The Stage 3 3.0 CDXS system for the 2022–2026 Tundra includes: 3.0 VS RR CDXS front coilover kit, tubular upper control arm kit with Delta Joint PRO, front sway bar drop kit, tubular rear lower link kit, tubular rear upper link kit, billet adjustable rear track bar, triple-rate rear coil spring kit (0.5" rear lift on non-TRD models), and 3.0 VS RR CDXS rear shock pair.
