ICON V.S. 2.5 Aluminum Series Piggyback Rear Shocks for 2014-2026 Ram 2500

The ICON V.S. 2.5 Aluminum Series Piggyback Rear Shock Absorbers are vehicle-specific rear shocks for 2014–2026 Ram 2500 trucks, sold as a pair and tuned in both length and damping for this application when used with ICON 0.5" Lift Performance Rear Coil Springs (part number 214206). The nitrogen-charged monotube design with piggyback reservoir delivers controlled off-road performance and a composed street ride without sacrificing rebuild or revalve access.

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.

Bump Zone Damping Control

A 6061 billet aluminum manifold positioned a few inches below the top cap creates ICON's internal Bump Zone. When the shock approaches full compression, this zone activates an additional 20% of damping force. For a Ram 2500 carrying loads or running rough terrain at speed, that added resistance helps prevent harsh bottom-outs and keeps the rear suspension composed during high-velocity compression events, the kind of hits that overwhelm a standard shock before it can respond.

Heat Management Through Piggyback Reservoir Design

The piggyback reservoir increases fluid volume, which improves heat dissipation during extended off-road use. Shock fade (the loss of damping performance as fluid heats up) is a real problem on long washboard sections or repeated high-speed hits. Premium-grade 5WT shock oil maintains consistent damping across a wide temperature range, so the rear suspension behaves the same at the end of a trail run as it did at the start.

Built to Be Serviced, Not Replaced

Every V.S. 2.5 Series shock is 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable. The one-piece digressive piston uses vehicle-specific valving, and the 7/8" induction-hardened, chrome-plated shock shaft runs inside a CAD-plated, precision-machined 1026 DOM steel body for corrosion resistance. PTFE-lined spherical bearings, polyurethane bushings, and forged steel mounting stems are designed for OE-style fitment. Owners who want a more user-defined tune can upgrade these shocks to ICON's Compression Damping Control Valve (CDCV) configuration.

Features

• Internal Bump Zone: 6061 billet aluminum manifold adds 20% damping force at full compression to resist bottom-outs
• Piggyback reservoir: nitrogen-charged monotube with expanded fluid volume for reduced shock fade
• Vehicle-specific tune: length and damping valved specifically for 2014–2026 Ram 2500 with ICON 0.5" rear coils
• 7/8" hardened shaft: induction-hardened, chrome-plated shaft inside a CAD-plated 1026 DOM steel body
• 100% rebuildable and revalveable: field-serviceable with CDCV upgrade path available
• OE-style mounting hardware: PTFE-lined spherical bearings, polyurethane bushings, and forged steel stems

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

These shocks suit 2014–2026 Ram 2500 owners running ICON 0.5" Lift Performance Rear Coil Springs who want improved off-road damping control and reduced shock fade on extended trail or towing use, with the option to rebuild or revalve rather than replace.

These shocks are not compatible with Ram 2500 trucks equipped with factory rear air ride suspension. They are tuned specifically for use with ICON 0.5" Lift Performance Rear Coil Springs (PN 214206) and are not validated for other lift heights or coil combinations. This listing covers rear shocks only; front suspension components are sold separately.

Common Questions

What years and model does this shock fit?

These ICON V.S. 2.5 Aluminum Series Piggyback Rear Shocks fit 2014–2026 Ram 2500 trucks in the rear position only. They are not compatible with Ram 2500 trucks equipped with factory rear air ride suspension.

Do these shocks require specific coil springs?

Yes. The V.S. 2.5 Aluminum Series Piggyback Rear Shocks for the Ram 2500 are length- and damping-tuned specifically for use with ICON 0.5" Lift Performance Rear Coil Springs, part number 214206. Running them with a different coil spring is outside the validated application.

What does the Bump Zone do, and why does it matter?

The Bump Zone is created by a 6061 billet aluminum manifold inside the shock body. As the shock nears full compression, it generates an additional 20% of damping force, which resists harsh bottom-outs and keeps the suspension controlled during high-velocity hits on rough terrain.

Can these shocks be rebuilt or retuned?

These ICON V.S. 2.5 Series shocks are 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable. Owners who want a more adjustable setup can also upgrade them to ICON's Compression Damping Control Valve (CDCV) configuration for a more user-defined damping tune.

How many shocks are included?

This listing includes two rear shock absorbers, sold as a pair, configured for the 2014–2026 Ram 2500. Front shocks and other suspension components for this application are sold separately.
