ICON V.S. 2.5 Aluminum Series Front Shocks for 1998-2007 Toyota Land Cruiser 0-3" Lift

The ICON V.S. 2.5 Aluminum Series Front Shocks (SKU 57608P) are a vehicle-specific pair engineered for 1998–2007 Toyota Land Cruiser builds running 0–3 inches of front lift. Each shock is length- and valving-tuned specifically for this application, delivering composed on-road manners and capable off-road damping from a 2.5-inch aluminum monotube body with an internal reservoir.

Shipping: 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.

Application-Specific Tuning

ICON configures the V.S. 2.5 Aluminum Series shocks in both length and damping tune for each vehicle application rather than using a generic calibration. The one-piece digressive piston carries vehicle-specific valving, so the shock responds progressively to small road inputs while controlling body motion under harder off-road hits. Premium 5WT shock oil maintains consistent damping across a wide temperature range, which matters on extended runs where fluid heat builds.

2.5-Inch Diameter Advantage

The larger 2.5-inch body diameter and increased oil volume improve both ride quality and heat dissipation compared to ICON's V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series shocks. More oil capacity means the shock resists fade longer during repeated compression cycles on rough terrain. The nitrogen-charged monotube design with internal reservoir keeps oil and gas separated, preventing aeration that degrades damping consistency.

Built to Last and Be Serviced

Every component is designed for long service life and field serviceability. The 7/8-inch shock shaft is induction-hardened and chrome-plated for wear and corrosion resistance. One-piece impact-extruded 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum cylinders resist corrosion and hold tight dimensional tolerances. PTFE-lined spherical bearings and application-specific mounting hardware pair with polyurethane bushings and forged steel mounting stems for OE-style fitment. Both shocks are 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable, so the investment extends well beyond the first service interval.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

These shocks suit 1998–2007 Toyota Land Cruiser owners running 0–3 inches of front lift who want a significant damping upgrade over stock or V.S. 2.0 Series shocks, whether the priority is improved trail composure, better heat management on long off-road runs, or a shock they can rebuild and retune over time.

These shocks are not compatible with Land Cruiser model years outside 1998–2007, are not a fit for rear positions, and do not suit builds with more than 3 inches of front lift. Shock boots are not included and are sold separately. Buyers wanting externally adjustable compression damping should consider ICON's CDC Valve shock variants instead.

Common Questions

What years and model does this shock fit?

The ICON V.S. 2.5 Aluminum Series front shocks (SKU 57608P) fit 1998–2007 Toyota Land Cruiser with 0–3 inches of front lift. They are not validated for other Toyota models or Land Cruiser years outside that range.

How many shocks are included?

SKU 57608P is sold as a pair. Two front shocks are included, which covers the full front axle on a 1998–2007 Toyota Land Cruiser.

Can these shocks be rebuilt or retuned?

Yes. The ICON V.S. 2.5 Aluminum Series shocks are 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable, allowing the damping tune to be changed by a qualified shock technician if driving conditions or build specs change over time.

How do these compare to ICON's 2.0 Series shocks?

The V.S. 2.5 Aluminum Series shocks use a larger 2.5-inch body diameter and carry more oil volume than the V.S. 2.0 Series. The added oil capacity improves ride quality and heat dissipation, which benefits sustained off-road use where repeated compression cycles build fluid temperature.

Are shock boots included?

Shock boots are not included with SKU 57608P. ICON offers 2.5-inch shock boots as a separate add-on accessory for buyers who want shaft protection.
