ICON V.S. 2.0 Rear Remote Reservoir Shock for 2007-18 Jeep JK Wrangler 2-3" Lift

The ICON Vehicle Dynamics V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series rear shock with remote reservoir is a vehicle-specific monotube upgrade for 2007–2018 Jeep JK Wrangler builds running 2–3 inches of rear lift. Engineered with nitrogen-charged monotube internals, a 6063 anodized aluminum body, and application-specific valving, it delivers measurably improved ride quality and damping control on pavement and off-road alike.

Vehicle-Specific Valving, Not a Generic Tune

The V.S. 2.0's one-piece linear/digressive piston is valved specifically for the JK Wrangler's weight, geometry, and the 2–3 inch lift range, not adapted from a universal shock map. That specificity matters because a shock tuned for the actual spring rates and suspension travel of your application tracks more predictably on washboard, absorbs hits more consistently on rock, and doesn't trade highway manners for trail performance. The result is a shock that works with the rest of your suspension rather than fighting it.

Aluminum Construction Built for Heat and Corrosion

The 6063 anodized aluminum body and reservoir tubing dissipate heat faster than steel-bodied shocks, which keeps the damping fluid from fading on sustained off-road runs. The 6061 aluminum rod end, top cap, and internals reduce unsprung weight without sacrificing structural integrity. A 5/8-inch chrome-plated hardened steel shaft resists corrosion and surface pitting, which matters for a vehicle that sees mud, water crossings, and road salt.

Rebuildable and Revalveable for Long-Term Value

Every V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series shock is 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable. When valving preferences change or when a shock eventually needs service, the unit can be rebuilt rather than replaced outright. Application-specific reservoir mounting hardware is included, and polyurethane bushings with zinc-plated sleeves and forged steel mounting stems are designed for OE-style fitment so installation uses factory mounting points without modification.

Features

• Nitrogen-charged monotube with remote reservoir: consistent damping and improved heat management over twin-tube designs
• Vehicle-specific valving: one-piece linear/digressive piston tuned for the JK Wrangler at 2–3" lift
• 5/8" chrome-plated hardened steel shaft: resists corrosion and pitting at the shaft seal
• 6061 aluminum rod end, top cap, and internals: strength and durability with reduced weight
• 6063 anodized aluminum body and reservoir tubing: superior heat dissipation and corrosion resistance
• 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable: serviceable for the life of the vehicle

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This shock suits 2007–2018 Jeep JK Wrangler owners running 2–3 inches of rear lift who want a rebuildable, vehicle-specific monotube upgrade over factory or entry-level replacement shocks, whether the primary use is daily driving with weekend trail runs or more frequent off-road use.

This shock does not fit JK Wrangler builds outside the 2–3 inch rear lift range, and it is not designed for the front position. Jeep owners running more than 3 inches of lift or requiring a larger-diameter shock body for extreme off-road use should consider the ICON V.S. 2.5 Series instead. This listing is for one rear shock; a full rear replacement requires two units.

Common Questions

What Jeep models and years does this shock fit?

The ICON V.S. 2.0 rear remote reservoir shock (SKU 26520R) fits 2007–2018 Jeep JK Wrangler applications at the rear axle with 2–3 inches of lift. It does not fit JK Wrangler builds outside that lift range, and it is not a front shock.

Is this shock sold as a pair or individually?

This listing covers one rear shock. Replacing both rear shocks on a JK Wrangler requires two units; add two to cart or confirm quantity before ordering.

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

Yes. The ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series is 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable, so the shock body can be serviced or retuned rather than discarded when it eventually needs attention or when valving preferences change.

Does the remote reservoir mounting hardware come included?

Application-specific reservoir mounting hardware is included with the ICON V.S. 2.0 rear shock for the JK Wrangler. The shock also ships with polyurethane bushings, zinc-plated sleeves, and forged steel mounting stems for OE-style fitment at factory mounting points.

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. This warning applies to California residents under Proposition 65.
