Sold as a pair, each shock features a 2.5-inch aluminum body, piggyback reservoir, and ICON's internal Bump Zone technology for controlled, fade-resistant performance on and off-road.\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\u003eBump Zone Control Where It Counts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 6061 billet aluminum manifold positioned just below the shock's top cap creates an internal Bump Zone that generates an additional 20% of damping force as the shock approaches full compression. For Gladiator owners running technical terrain at speed, that added resistance is the difference between a controlled suspension stroke and a harsh bottom-out. The effect is progressive, engaging only under high-velocity compression, so everyday street compliance is not sacrificed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHeat Dissipation and Long-Run Consistency\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piggyback reservoir separates the oil volume from the main shock body, giving heat generated during sustained off-road use somewhere to go. Combined with premium-grade 5WT shock oil formulated for consistent viscosity across a wide temperature range, the V.S. 2.5 Aluminum Series maintains its damping character through long desert runs or repeated rock-crawling cycles where a standard shock would begin to fade. The nitrogen-charged monotube design further reduces aeration for predictable response lap after lap or trail after trail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to Be Rebuilt\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery V.S. 2.5 Aluminum Series shock is 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable, which means the investment extends well beyond the first set of seals. The one-piece impact-extruded aluminum cylinder resists corrosion and holds tight tolerances for consistent finish and fit over the shock's service life. Owners who want a more user-defined tune can upgrade to ICON's Compression Damping Control Valve (CDCV), sold separately, without replacing the shock body. Shin guards are included to protect the 7\/8-inch induction-hardened, chrome-plated shock shaft from debris strikes during off-road use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Bump Zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6061 billet aluminum manifold adds 20% damping force at high-velocity compression to prevent harsh bottom-outs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePiggyback Reservoir:\u003c\/strong\u003e Separates oil volume from the main body to reduce heat buildup and shock fade on extended runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7\/8\" Hardened Shaft:\u003c\/strong\u003e Induction-hardened, chrome-plated shaft with shin guards included for debris protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% Rebuildable and Revalveable:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full rebuild and revalve capability; CDCV upgrade available separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle-Specific Valving:\u003c\/strong\u003e Length and damping tune configured specifically for the 2020–2023 Jeep Gladiator at 1.5-inch rear lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePTFE-Lined Spherical Bearings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Application-specific mounting hardware included\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\u003e27727P\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2020–2023 Jeep Gladiator (JT), Rear\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLift Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.5 inches\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\u003eShock Body Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOne-piece impact-extruded 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum\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\u003eReservoir Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePiggyback\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCharge\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNitrogen-charged monotube\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\u003ePiston Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOne-piece digressive, vehicle-specific valving\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBearings\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePTFE-lined spherical\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\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShin guards, application-specific mounting hardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e26 lb\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 2020–2023 Jeep Gladiator owners running a 1.5-inch rear lift who want vehicle-specific damping tuning, piggyback-reservoir heat management, and a shock they can rebuild or revalve rather than replace outright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThese rear shocks fit only the 2020–2023 Jeep Gladiator (JT) at a 1.5-inch rear lift, are not front shocks, and are not a complete lift kit.
