Sold as a pair, these shocks are configured in both length and damping tune specifically for this application.\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. Lead times vary by part and some items are built to order, so please allow extra time. We email tracking as soon as your order ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eActive Damping That Reads the Terrain\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CDEV is an electronically controlled valve that meters oil flow to regulate compression damping force. Reacting in under 40 milliseconds, it makes continuous, precise adjustments as terrain changes beneath the vehicle. The valve's hydraulic circuits are custom-tailored for this specific Wrangler JL and Gladiator application, giving the system the highest resolution and dynamic range the platform allows. Control runs through the ICON Intelligent Control (IIC) system and the proprietary ICON mobile app, which draws on an onboard G-force sensor and gyroscope to predict terrain and adjust shock settings automatically, with user-defined settings available when the driver prefers manual input. An iOS device is required to run the ICON Intelligent Control app.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt-In Bump Zone for High-Speed Compression Control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 6061 billet aluminum manifold positioned below the top cap of the shock body creates an internal Bump Zone. As the shock approaches full compression, this zone adds 20% of additional damping force, reducing harsh bottom-outs during high-velocity compression events. For drivers who push hard on rough terrain, that extra resistance at the end of the stroke means the suspension stays composed rather than slamming the bumpstops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLong-Term Durability and Serviceability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shock cylinder is one-piece, hard-anodized, and impact-extruded from aluminum, providing corrosion resistance and a consistent finish over years of use. The 7\/8-inch shock shaft is induction-hardened and chrome-plated. PTFE-lined spherical bearings and application-specific mounting hardware are included. The remote reservoir improves heat dissipation during sustained off-road use, reducing shock fade on long runs. Premium 5WT shock oil maintains consistent damping across a wide temperature range. Both shocks are 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable, so the investment can be serviced rather than replaced when wear eventually occurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCDEV Active Valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e electronically controlled compression damping, reacts in under 40ms, infinitely variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Bump Zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6061 billet aluminum manifold adds 20% damping force near full compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHard-Anodized Aluminum Cylinder:\u003c\/strong\u003e one-piece, impact-extruded, corrosion-resistant construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7\/8\" Chrome-Plated Shaft:\u003c\/strong\u003e induction-hardened for durability; PTFE-lined spherical bearings included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemote Reservoir:\u003c\/strong\u003e nitrogen-charged monotube design with remote reservoir for improved heat dissipation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRebuildable and Revalveable:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% serviceable; vehicle-specific valving with one-piece digressive piston\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\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e27821EP\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShock Body Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShaft Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e7\/8 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShaft Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInduction-hardened, chrome-plated\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCylinder Construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOne-piece hard-anodized impact-extruded aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eManifold Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e6061 aircraft-grade billet aluminum, CNC machined\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\u003eReservoir Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRemote reservoir\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLift Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eQuantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePair (2 shocks)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e31 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2018–2023 Jeep Wrangler JL; 2020–2023 Jeep Gladiator\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEngine Requirement\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3.6L Pentastar V6 gasoline only\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePosition\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFront\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\"\u003eThese shocks suit Wrangler JL and Gladiator owners running a 2.5-inch lift who want electronically adjustable compression damping for mixed on-road and off-road use. They are a strong fit for drivers who want active terrain response rather than a fixed damping tune, and who are prepared to also install the required ICON Intelligent Control (IIC) kit (part 23502) and compatible CDEV rear shocks (part 27726EP or 27727EP).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThese shocks do not fit Wrangler JL or Gladiator models with any engine other than the 3.6L Pentastar V6 gasoline. Gladiator Mojave trim requires an additional 14mm misalignment spacer kit (part 611070), sold separately. The ICON Intelligent Control app requires an iOS device; Android is not supported. The IIC kit and rear CDEV shocks are not included and must be purchased separately for the system to function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDo these shocks work without the ICON Intelligent Control kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eNo. The V.S. 2.5 Aluminum front shocks with CDEV require installation of the ICON Intelligent Control (IIC) kit, part number 23502, which is sold separately. The CDEV valve is electronically controlled through that system; the shocks cannot operate the active damping function without it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eAre matching rear shocks included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eNo. This listing covers the front shock pair only. Compatible CDEV rear shocks for the Wrangler JL (part 27727EP) and Gladiator (part 27726EP) are sold separately and are required for the full system to function as designed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDo these fit the Gladiator Mojave trim?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe V.S. 2.5 Aluminum front shocks with CDEV do fit the Gladiator Mojave trim, but that trim requires an additional 14mm misalignment spacer kit (part 611070), which is sold separately. Without that kit, the shocks will not install correctly on the Mojave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat phone or device is needed to control the CDEV system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe ICON Intelligent Control app, which manages CDEV settings and active terrain adjustment, runs on iOS only. An Apple iPhone or iPad is required.
