This shock is sold individually; two are required per vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-shipping-note\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICON parts ship direct from ICON Vehicle Dynamics, mostly by UPS Ground.

Under sustained hard use (repeated high-speed whoops, rocky two-track, or loaded towing on rough roads), conventional shocks build heat that causes cavitation and damper fade. The remote reservoir keeps operating temperatures lower so the shock continues to respond consistently through the full run, not just the first few hits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eVehicle-Specific Valving, Not a Generic Tune\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eICON engineers valve each V.S. 2.0 shock for the specific application rather than applying a universal tune. The one-piece linear\/digressive piston is matched to the Ram 2500's weight, spring rate, and intended use range (everyday street driving and weekend off-road use), so the shock works with the truck's geometry rather than against it. The 5\/8\" chrome-plated hardened steel shaft resists corrosion and pitting, and the 6061 aluminum rod end, top cap, and internals keep unsprung weight in check without sacrificing strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRebuildable and Revalveable Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series shock is 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable, which means the shock body is a long-term investment rather than a consumable. When use cases change (a heavier load, a different lift height, or a more aggressive valving preference), the shock can be serviced and retuned rather than replaced outright. The 6063 anodized aluminum body and reservoir tubing resist corrosion and dissipate heat efficiently; polyurethane bushings, zinc-plated sleeves, and forged steel mounting stems are designed for OE-style fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNitrogen-charged monotube with remote reservoir:\u003c\/strong\u003e resists cavitation and damper fade under extended hard use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne-piece linear\/digressive piston:\u003c\/strong\u003e vehicle-specific valving for on- and off-road performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5\/8\" chrome-plated hardened steel shaft:\u003c\/strong\u003e resists corrosion and pitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6061 aluminum rod end, top cap, and internals:\u003c\/strong\u003e strength with reduced unsprung weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6063 anodized aluminum body and reservoir:\u003c\/strong\u003e heat dissipation and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable:\u003c\/strong\u003e serviceable for long-term use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e216529R\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShock body diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.0 in (aluminum)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShaft diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e5\/8 in, chrome-plated hardened steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBody material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e6063 anodized aluminum (body and reservoir); 6061 aluminum (rod end, top cap, internals)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBushing material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePolyurethane with zinc-plated sleeves and forged steel mounting stems\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNitrogen-charged monotube, remote reservoir\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVehicle fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2014–2026 Ram 2500\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLift compatibility, coil spring\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0–1\" rear lift (Ram 2500 with rear coil springs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLift compatibility, air ride\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3\" rear lift (Ram 2500 with factory rear air springs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePosition\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRear\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eQuantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSold individually; 2 required per vehicle\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShipping weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e8 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThis shock suits 2014–2026 Ram 2500 owners running 0–1\" rear lift with coil springs, or 3\" rear lift with factory rear air springs, who want a rebuildable, remote-reservoir upgrade over the factory shock for mixed street and off-road use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThis shock does not fit Ram 2500 configurations outside the stated lift and spring-type combinations above, and it does not fit any other make or model.

A complete rear shock replacement on the Ram 2500 requires two shocks, one per side. Add two to cart for a full rear set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes this shock work with both coil-spring and air-ride Ram 2500 models?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes, with different lift requirements for each. On Ram 2500 trucks equipped with rear coil springs, this shock is compatible with 0–1\" of rear lift. On Ram 2500 trucks equipped with factory rear air springs, it is compatible with 3\" of rear lift. Confirm your truck's rear spring type before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does \"rebuildable and revalveable\" mean in practice?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series shock can be disassembled, resealed, and refilled with fresh nitrogen and oil when it wears, rather than discarded. It can also be revalved, meaning the internal piston tune can be changed to suit a different lift height, load, or performance preference, without purchasing a new shock body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhy does the remote reservoir matter for off-road use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe remote reservoir on this ICON shock increases total oil volume and the surface area available to shed heat. Under sustained off-road use (repeated impacts, rough terrain at speed), shock oil heats up and can cavitate, causing damper fade and inconsistent response. The larger oil volume and additional heat-dissipation surface of the remote reservoir help the shock maintain consistent damping longer than a standard body-only design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ICON Vehicle Dynamics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50621715185734,"sku":"216529R","price":308.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/2203\/1686\/files\/20041099d71709952b51b89e67fc419a-sq.jpg?v=1791937469","url":"https:\/\/terrainvault.com\/products\/icon-v-s-2-0-aluminum-remote-reservoir-rear-shock-for-2014-2026-ram-25","provider":"TerrainVault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
