Each shock is length- and damping-tuned specifically for this Wrangler JL application, and the pair ships with PTFE-lined spherical bearings and application-specific mounting hardware included.\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.

For Wrangler JL owners who push hard on rocky trails or high-speed desert runs, that extra resistance at the end of the stroke is the difference between a controlled landing and a jarring bottom-out that stresses the chassis and fatigues the driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e10-Level CDC Valve Lets You Tune on the Trail\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe externally adjustable CDC (Compression Damping Control) Valve restricts oil flow into the piggyback reservoir across 10 distinct levels, all accessible with a turn of a knob (no disassembly required). Dialing in a softer setting for highway miles and firming up for off-camber rock work takes seconds, so the shocks work with the terrain rather than against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAluminum Construction Manages Heat and Resists Corrosion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one-piece impact-extruded aluminum cylinder and CNC-machined 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum components shed heat faster than steel-bodied shocks, reducing fade during prolonged off-road use. The piggyback reservoir adds fluid volume that further buffers temperature rise on extended runs. Premium-grade 5WT shock oil maintains consistent damping across a wide temperature range, so performance at the start of a trail day matches performance at the end. The aluminum finish also resists the corrosion that accumulates on shocks exposed to mud, water crossings, and road salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCDC Valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e externally adjustable, 10 levels of compression damping control\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\u003eNitrogen-charged monotube design\u003c\/strong\u003e with piggyback reservoir for improved heat dissipation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7\/8\" shock shaft:\u003c\/strong\u003e induction-hardened, chrome-plated for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne-piece digressive piston\u003c\/strong\u003e with vehicle-specific valving; 100% rebuildable and revalveable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePTFE-lined spherical bearings\u003c\/strong\u003e and 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\u003e27726CP\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2018–2023 Jeep Wrangler JL\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePosition\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRear\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLift Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.5–3 inches over stock\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShock Body Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.5 inches (V.S. 2.5 Series)\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\u003eBody Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOne-piece impact-extruded aluminum; 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum CNC components\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\u003ePiggyback\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCompression Adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e10-level CDC Valve (external)\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\u003e27 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 2018–2023 Jeep Wrangler JL owners running 2.5–3 inches of rear lift over stock who want externally adjustable compression damping and a rebuildable, reservoir-equipped shock for mixed street and off-road use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThese shocks do not fit the 2021–2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 392.

Turning it cycles through 10 levels of compression damping force, letting the driver firm up or soften the rear suspension without removing the shock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eAre these shocks rebuildable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The ICON V.S. 2.5 Aluminum Series shocks are 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable, meaning worn seals, oil, and valving can all be serviced or changed rather than replacing the entire shock body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is included with this purchase?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThis listing includes a pair of ICON V.S. 2.5 Aluminum Series rear shocks with piggyback reservoirs, PTFE-lined spherical bearings, and application-specific mounting hardware.
