ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series Rear Shock Absorber for 2024-2026 Toyota Tacoma

The ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series Rear Shock Absorber is a vehicle-specific, nitrogen-charged monotube shock built for 2024–2026 Toyota Tacoma trucks running 0–1 inch of rear lift over stock. Shocks are sold individually; two are required per vehicle.

Vehicle-Specific Valving for Real-World Performance

ICON engineers tune the V.S. 2.0's one-piece linear/digressive piston specifically for the 2024–2026 Tacoma's weight and suspension geometry. That means the damping curve is matched to this truck rather than adapted from a universal calibration, so the shock delivers consistent control on paved roads and composed behavior on dirt and gravel without requiring the owner to compromise between the two.

Aluminum Construction and Thermal Management

The 6063 anodized aluminum body and reservoir tubing dissipate heat more effectively than steel-bodied alternatives, keeping oil temperature stable during extended off-road use. The 6061 aluminum rod end, top cap, and internals reduce unsprung weight while maintaining structural strength. Premium 5WT shock oil maintains consistent damping across a wide temperature range, so performance does not degrade between a cold morning start and a long afternoon trail run.

Shaft and Bushing Durability

A 5/8-inch chrome-plated hardened steel shaft resists corrosion and surface pitting that can cause seal wear over time. Polyurethane bushings, zinc-plated sleeves, and forged steel mounting stems are designed to match OE factory fitment dimensions, simplifying installation. A rubber dust boot protects the shaft, and a nitrile rubber top-out bumper prevents metal-on-metal contact and noise at full extension. The shock is fully rebuildable and re-tunable, so it can be serviced rather than replaced when damping characteristics need refreshing.

Features

• Nitrogen-charged monotube with internal reservoir: consistent damping and reduced fade under repeated compression cycles
• One-piece linear/digressive piston: vehicle-specific valving calibrated for the 2024–2026 Tacoma
• 5/8" chrome-plated hardened steel shaft: resists corrosion and pitting for long seal life
• 6061 aluminum rod end, top cap, and internals: strength with reduced unsprung weight
• 6063 anodized aluminum body and reservoir: superior heat dissipation and corrosion resistance
• Fully rebuildable and re-tunable: serviceable rather than disposable

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This shock suits 2024–2026 Toyota Tacoma owners running stock height or up to 1 inch of rear lift who want a rebuildable, vehicle-tuned upgrade over factory dampers for mixed street and off-road use.

This shock does not fit Tacoma submodels equipped with Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) or rear leaf springs. It is not compatible with rear lift heights above 1 inch over stock. Quantity of two is required for a complete rear installation; this listing covers one shock.

Common Questions

How many shocks does a full rear installation require?

The ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series Rear Shock for the 2024–2026 Tacoma is sold individually. Two shocks are required per vehicle for a complete rear installation.

Will this shock work with Adaptive Variable Suspension?

No. The ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series Rear Shock (SKU 56518) is not compatible with 2024–2026 Toyota Tacoma trims equipped with the factory Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) system. Confirm your trim level before ordering.

Does this fit Tacoma models with rear leaf springs?

No. This shock will not fit 2024–2026 Tacoma submodels equipped with rear leaf springs. It is designed for Tacoma configurations that use a coil-spring rear suspension setup within the 0–1 inch lift range.

Can this shock be rebuilt or retuned after extended use?

Yes. The ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series shock is fully rebuildable and re-tunable, meaning worn seals, oil, and valving components can be serviced rather than requiring full shock replacement when performance degrades over time.

Is a California Proposition 65 warning associated with this product?

Yes. This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth anomalies, or other reproductive harm. This warning applies to California residents as required by state law.
