ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series Remote Reservoir Front Shock for 1999-2004 Ford F-250/F-350 Super Duty 4WD 3-6" Lift

The ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series Remote Reservoir Shock is a vehicle-specific front shock absorber engineered for 1999–2004 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty 4WD trucks running 3–6 inches of front lift. Shocks are sold individually; two are typically required per vehicle for a front axle replacement.

Vehicle-Specific Valving for Real-World Performance

ICON engineers valve each V.S. 2.0 shock specifically for the weight, geometry, and lift range of the target application rather than using a generic tune. The one-piece linear/digressive piston delivers consistent damping response whether the truck is loaded for a work week or running a dirt road on the weekend. Premium-grade 5WT shock oil maintains that consistency across a wide temperature range, so performance does not degrade between a cold morning start and a hot afternoon trail.

Aluminum Construction Built to Dissipate Heat

The 6063 anodized aluminum body and remote reservoir tubing give the V.S. 2.0 a meaningful thermal advantage over steel-bodied shocks. Heat is the primary cause of fade during repeated suspension cycles; the aluminum construction pulls heat away from the oil faster, keeping damping characteristics stable during extended off-road use. The 6061 aluminum rod end, top cap, and internals add strength without unnecessary weight, while the 5/8-inch chrome-plated hardened steel shaft resists corrosion and surface pitting over time.

Rebuildable and Revalveable

Every V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series shock is 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable. When valving needs change or seals wear, the shock can be serviced and retuned rather than replaced entirely, a meaningful long-term cost advantage for trucks that see regular off-road use or accumulate high mileage.

Features

• Nitrogen-charged monotube with remote reservoir: separates oil and nitrogen gas to prevent aeration and fade
• Vehicle-specific valving: one-piece linear/digressive piston tuned for the F-250/F-350 Super Duty application at 3–6" lift
• 5WT shock oil: maintains consistent damping across a wide temperature range
• 5/8" chrome-plated hardened steel shaft: resists corrosion and surface pitting
• 6063 anodized aluminum body and reservoir tubing: superior heat dissipation and corrosion resistance
• 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable: serviceable for long-term use
• Polyurethane bushings with zinc-plated sleeves and forged steel mounting stems: OE-style fitment

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This shock suits owners of 1999–2004 Ford F-250 or F-350 Super Duty 4WD trucks running 3–6 inches of front lift who want a rebuildable, vehicle-specific damper for improved on- and off-road ride quality. It is a strong fit for daily drivers and weekend off-road users who want a serviceable upgrade over OE replacement shocks.

This shock does not fit F-250/F-350 trucks outside the 1999–2004 model years, 2WD configurations, or lift heights below 3 inches or above 6 inches. It is sold as a single unit; a front axle replacement requires purchasing two. Buyers running extreme off-road conditions may want to consider the ICON V.S. 2.5 Series instead.

Common Questions

How many shocks do I need for a front axle replacement?

The ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series Remote Reservoir Shock (SKU 36507R) is sold individually. Two units are typically required to replace both front shocks on a 1999–2004 Ford F-250 or F-350 Super Duty 4WD.

What lift height is this shock compatible with?

This shock is compatible with 3–6 inches of front lift over stock on 1999–2004 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty 4WD trucks. It is not designed for stock ride height or for lifts outside that range.

Can this shock be used with a dual shock setup?

The ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series Remote Reservoir Shock can be installed with the ICON Dual Shock Mount kit (part number 39010). A quantity of four shocks is required per vehicle for a dual shock configuration.

Is this shock rebuildable if it wears out or needs revalving?

The V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series shock is 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable. Seals can be replaced and the valving can be changed without replacing the entire shock body, which extends the serviceable life of the unit.
