ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Shock for 1999-2004 Ford F-250/F-350 SD 4WD 8-10" Front/12" Rear Lift

The ICON Vehicle Dynamics V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series shock absorber (SKU 36510) is a vehicle-specific, nitrogen-charged monotube shock built for 1999–2004 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty 4WD trucks running 8–10 inches of front lift and 12 inches of rear lift. It is sold as a single shock. The 2.0-inch anodized aluminum body and internal reservoir are engineered to the geometry and valving requirements of this exact application.

Vehicle-Specific Valving for Real-World Performance

The V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series uses a one-piece linear/digressive piston with valving calibrated specifically for the 1999–2004 F-250/F-350 Super Duty at this lift range. The damping curve is matched to the actual suspension geometry and weight of this truck rather than a generic tune, producing predictable, composed behavior on pavement and on the trail without the compromise of a universal shock calibration.

Aluminum Construction Built to Dissipate Heat

The 6063 anodized aluminum body and reservoir tubing shed heat more effectively than steel-body alternatives, keeping oil viscosity stable during extended off-road runs. 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 desert morning and a hot afternoon on the trail.

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 provide an OE-style fit at the mounting points, reducing noise and slop at installation. A nitrile rubber top-out bumper prevents metal-to-metal contact and noise-free operation at full extension.

Features

• Nitrogen-charged monotube design with internal reservoir for consistent damping and fade resistance
• One-piece linear/digressive piston with vehicle-specific valving for this lift and application
• 5/8" chrome-plated hardened steel shaft resists corrosion and pitting
• 6063 anodized aluminum body and reservoir for heat dissipation and corrosion resistance
• 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable for long service life and tunability
• Polyurethane bushings, zinc-plated sleeves, and forged steel mounting stems for OE-type fitment

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This shock suits 1999–2004 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty 4WD owners running 8–10 inches of front lift and 12 inches of rear lift who want a rebuildable, aluminum-body monotube upgrade over a stock or worn-out replacement shock, whether for daily driving on improved roads or weekend off-road use.

This shock does not fit two-wheel-drive F-250/F-350 variants, any F-250/F-350 outside the 1999–2004 model years, or trucks at lift heights other than the 8–10 inch front / 12 inch rear range stated. It is sold as a single unit; buyers needing a pair must order two. For extreme off-road use demanding greater abuse tolerance, ICON's V.S. 2.5 Series is the appropriate step up.

Common Questions

How many shocks does this listing include?

SKU 36510 is a single ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series shock. Buyers who need a front pair or a complete set should order the required quantity at checkout.

What lift height is this shock designed for?

The ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series shock (SKU 36510) is valved and dimensioned for 1999–2004 Ford F-250/F-350 Super Duty 4WD trucks with 8–10 inches of front lift and 12 inches of rear lift. It is not designed for other lift heights.

Can this shock be rebuilt or revalved later?

Yes. The ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series shock is 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable, which means it can be serviced and returned to spec rather than replaced outright, and the valving can be adjusted if the owner's use case changes.

Is there a California Proposition 65 warning for this product?

Yes. The ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series shock contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth anomalies, or other reproductive harm. This warning applies to California residents.
