ICON Stage 5 Suspension System for 2009-2018 Ram 1500 4WD .75-2.5" Lift

The ICON Stage 5 Suspension System for 2009–2018 Ram 1500 4WD (and 2019–2022 Ram 1500 Classic) delivers .75–2.5" of adjustable lift through a complete front coilover and rear shock-and-spring package engineered to increase wheel travel and damping performance over stock without reducing towing capacity. The system ships in multiple boxes and installs with no drilling, cutting, or welding.

Shipping: ICON parts ship direct from ICON Vehicle Dynamics, mostly by UPS Ground. Lead times vary by part and some items are built to order, so please allow extra time. We email tracking as soon as your order ships.

Increased Travel Without Sacrificing Tow Capacity

The front 2.5" VS Internal Reservoir coilover shocks are vehicle-specifically tuned and height-adjustable across the full .75–2.5" lift range, so the truck can run OEM wheels and tires or step up to 33" x 11.50" rubber without fender modifications. The internal reservoir extends fluid capacity and helps manage heat during sustained off-road use, maintaining consistent damping when stock shocks would begin to fade.

Front-to-Rear Balance via CDC Valve Technology

The rear 2.5 Aluminum Series shocks with CDC Valve (CDCV) use vehicle-specific valving calibrated to match the front coilovers, so the truck's damping character stays consistent from nose to tail. The CDC Valve allows end-user adjustability without tools or disassembly, a meaningful advantage when load conditions or terrain change between trips. FK rod end bearings at the rear reduce deflection and extend service life compared to rubber bushings.

Bolt-On Construction with Serviceable Components

Every component in the Stage 5 system is 100% bolt-on, with no fabrication required for installation. The tubular upper control arm kit replaces the OEM unit to recover geometry at the new ride height. Coilover shock bodies are CAD-plated for corrosion resistance and built with a 7/8" shaft; all shocks are fully serviceable. CNC-machined 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum is used throughout the system's structural components.

• Rear 1.5" dual-rate spring kit: included for rear lift and load management
• CDC Valve rear shocks: quick end-user damping adjustability, FK rod end bearings
• Tubular upper control arm kit: included to restore front geometry at lift height
• Bolt-on installation: no drilling, cutting, or welding required

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The ICON Stage 5 system suits 2009–2018 Ram 1500 4WD owners, and 2019–2022 Ram 1500 Classic owners, who want a complete, bolt-on lift and performance suspension upgrade in the .75–2.5" range, with front coilovers, a tubular upper control arm, and rear shocks and springs included in one kit. Drivers who tow occasionally can use the system, though air bags are recommended alongside the performance rear springs when the truck is used for towing.

The Stage 5 system does not fit Ram 1500 models equipped with OEM air suspension. It is not a universal fit across Ram generations; fitment is specific to the 2009–2018 4WD and 2019–2022 Classic body style. Tires larger than 33" x 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 5 system is compatible with 2019–2022 Ram 1500 Classic models, which share the body style of the 2009–2018 Ram 1500 4WD. It is not designed for the current-generation Ram 1500 (non-Classic) introduced in 2019, and it does not fit any Ram 1500 equipped with the factory OEM air suspension option.

What tools or fabrication are required to install this system?

The ICON Stage 5 suspension system is a 100% bolt-on kit with no drilling, cutting, or welding required. An installation guide is included. Professional installation is recommended for suspension work of this scope, as a wheel alignment will be needed after fitting the tubular upper control arms and setting coilover height.

Can the lift height be adjusted after installation?

The front coilovers in this Stage 5 system are height-adjustable across the full .75–2.5" lift range. Coilover heights indicated are for a stock-equipped vehicle; adjustment is made by rotating the lower spring perch on the coilover body. The rear spring kit provides a fixed 1.5" of rear lift.

Does the Stage 5 system affect towing capacity?

The ICON Stage 5 system is designed to increase wheel travel and damping performance with no change to the truck's towing capacity. When the truck is used for towing with the performance rear springs included in this kit, air bags are recommended to manage load. The CDC Valve rear shocks allow damping adjustment to suit varying load conditions.

What is included in the Stage 5 kit?

The Stage 5 system includes a 2.5" VS Internal Reservoir front coilover kit with ICON-engineered Eibach coil springs, a tubular upper control arm kit, a rear 1.5" dual-rate spring kit, and a pair of 2.5 Aluminum Series rear shocks with CDC Valve. The system ships in multiple boxes. Any add-on accessories shown on the product page are sold separately.
