Built around a nitrogen-charged monotube design with an internal reservoir, 6061 aluminum internals, and a 6063 anodized aluminum body, this shock is engineered to improve on- and off-road ride quality over the factory unit without requiring a full suspension overhaul.\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.

The one-piece linear\/digressive piston works with that valving to deliver consistent damping across a wide range of road and trail conditions, so the shock responds appropriately whether the truck is loaded for a camping run or empty on the highway, without the compromise a universal-fit shock requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAluminum Construction for Heat Dissipation and Corrosion Resistance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6063 anodized aluminum body and reservoir tubing shed heat more effectively than steel-bodied shocks, keeping oil temperature stable during sustained off-road use. The 6061 aluminum rod end, top cap, and internals reduce unsprung weight while maintaining structural strength. The 5\/8-inch chrome-plated hardened steel shaft resists corrosion and surface pitting that would degrade seal life on a bare steel shaft. Polyurethane bushings, zinc-plated sleeves, and forged steel mounting stems are designed to match OE factory mounting points on the F-150 2WD rear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRebuildable and Revalveable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series shock is 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable. When seals wear or driving demands change, the shock can be serviced and retuned rather than replaced entirely, which is a practical advantage for a truck used regularly off-road where shock service intervals are shorter than on-road use alone. Premium 5WT shock oil maintains consistent damping across a wide temperature range, and the nitrile rubber top-out bumper allows the shock to reach full extension without noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNitrogen-charged monotube with internal reservoir:\u003c\/strong\u003e separates oil from gas for consistent damping under sustained use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne-piece linear\/digressive piston:\u003c\/strong\u003e vehicle-specific valving for the 2004–2008 F-150 2WD rear, 0–2\" lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5\/8\" chrome-plated hardened steel shaft:\u003c\/strong\u003e resists corrosion and surface pitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6061 aluminum rod end, top cap, and internals:\u003c\/strong\u003e strength with reduced 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 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\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2004–2008 Ford F-150 2WD\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\u003eLift Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0–2 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBody Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.0 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBody Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e6063 anodized aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShaft\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e5\/8\" chrome-plated hardened steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInternals\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e6061 aluminum rod end, top cap, and internals\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShock Oil\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePremium grade 5WT\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBushings\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, internal reservoir\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e96516\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 2004–2008 Ford F-150 2WD owners running 0–2 inches of rear lift who want a rebuildable, aluminum-bodied performance 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 4WD F-150 variants, F-150 model years outside 2004–2008, or rear lift heights above 2 inches.

A separate ICON application is required for the 4WD variant; installing this shock on a 4WD F-150 is not a supported fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat lift height does this shock support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series rear shock for the 2004–2008 Ford F-150 2WD is designed for 0–2 inches of rear lift. It is not intended for lift heights above 2 inches; a different ICON application would be needed for greater lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs this shock sold as a single unit or a pair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThis listing is for one rear shock absorber.

The ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series shock is 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable, meaning seals and oil can be replaced and the valving can be adjusted rather than discarding the entire shock body when service is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes this product carry a California Proposition 65 warning?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes.
