ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Remote Reservoir Shock Driver Front for 2014-2026 Ram 2500 / 2013-2026 Ram 3500

The ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series Remote Reservoir Shock Absorber is a vehicle-specific, nitrogen-charged monotube shock engineered for 2014–2026 Ram 2500 and 2013–2026 Ram 3500 4WD trucks running 2.5 inches of front lift. On Ram 2500 Power Wagon and Ram 2500 Rebel models, it is compatible with 0.5 inches of front lift. This listing is for the driver-front shock only; the passenger-side shock (part number 216528RP) is sold separately.

Remote Reservoir for Sustained Off-Road Performance

The V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series shock pairs a remote reservoir with a nitrogen-charged monotube body to increase shock oil volume and expand heat-dissipation surface area. Greater oil volume and faster heat transfer reduce the risk of overheating and cavitation during extended hard use: these are the conditions that cause damper fade and inconsistent damping response on long off-road runs or repeated high-speed hits.

Vehicle-Specific Valving, Built to Last

ICON engineers valve each V.S. 2.0 shock specifically for the Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 application rather than using a universal tune. The one-piece linear/digressive piston, premium 5WT shock oil, and 5/8-inch chrome-plated hardened steel shaft work together to deliver consistent damping across a wide temperature range on pavement and off it. The 6061 aluminum rod end, top cap, and internals keep weight down without sacrificing strength, while the 6063 anodized aluminum body and reservoir tubing resist corrosion and shed heat efficiently.

Rebuildable and Revalveable

Every V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series shock is 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable, so the shock can be serviced and retuned rather than replaced when driving demands change or components wear. Polyurethane bushings, zinc-plated sleeves, and forged steel mounting stems are designed for OE factory-type fitment, and a nitrile rubber top-out bumper provides noise-free operation at full extension.

Features

• Nitrogen-charged monotube with remote reservoir: increases oil volume and heat dissipation to resist fade under hard use
• Vehicle-specific valving: one-piece linear/digressive piston tuned for Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 applications
• 5/8" chrome-plated hardened steel shaft: resists corrosion and pitting
• 6061 aluminum internals and 6063 anodized aluminum body: strength, corrosion resistance, and heat dissipation
• 100% rebuildable and revalveable: serviceable for long-term use and tuning flexibility
• OE-type mounting hardware: polyurethane bushings, zinc-plated sleeves, and forged steel stems

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This shock suits Ram 2500 (2014–2026) and Ram 3500 (2013–2026) 4WD owners running a front lift and looking for a rebuildable, remote-reservoir upgrade over factory dampers, whether for daily driving, weekend trail use, or a mix of both.

This shock does not fit 2WD Ram 2500 or Ram 3500 models. It is not compatible with Ram 2500 Power Wagon or Ram 2500 Rebel builds running more than 0.5 inches of front lift. It covers the driver-front position only; a separate passenger-side shock (216528RP) is required to complete the front pair. Buyers running more demanding off-road use should consider the ICON V.S. 2.5 Series.

Common Questions

Does this shock fit my 2WD Ram 2500 or Ram 3500?

The ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Remote Reservoir driver-front shock is compatible with 4WD models only. It does not fit 2WD Ram 2500 or Ram 3500 trucks.

What lift height is this shock designed for?

This shock is designed for 2.5 inches of front lift on most Ram 2500 submodels and Ram 3500. On Ram 2500 Power Wagon and Ram 2500 Rebel, it is compatible with 0.5 inches of front lift only.

Do I need to buy a second shock for the passenger side?

Yes. This listing covers the driver-front position only. The matching passenger-side shock is sold separately under part number 216528RP and is required to complete the front pair.

Can this shock be rebuilt or revalved if it wears out or my needs change?

The ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series shock is 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable, so it can be serviced or retuned rather than replaced outright when components wear or driving demands shift.

Is there a California Proposition 65 warning for this product?

Yes. This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth anomalies, or other reproductive harm.
