ICON V.S. 2.5 Aluminum Series Rear Shock Absorbers for 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma

The ICON V.S. 2.5 Aluminum Series Rear Shock Absorbers are a remote-reservoir, nitrogen-charged monotube pair built for 2005–2023 Toyota Tacoma owners running 0–1.5" of rear lift (0–2" on most non-TRD Pro submodels), combining 10-level external compression adjustment with a one-piece impact-extruded aluminum cylinder for off-road performance and on-road ride quality. Sold as a pair, SKU 57805CP.

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.

Aluminum Construction That Earns Its Weight Savings

Each shock body is formed from a one-piece impact-extruded aluminum cylinder rather than traditional plated steel. The result is a lighter assembly, more consistent surface finish, and meaningfully better corrosion resistance: a real advantage for a truck that sees mud, salt, and water crossings regularly. CNC-machined 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum components carry that same standard through every structural part of the shock.

Tunable Compression Damping, On the Trail or in the Driveway

The ICON CDC (Compression Damping Control) Valve is an externally adjustable valve that restricts oil flow into the remote reservoir, giving 10 distinct levels of compression damping force with a turn of a knob, no disassembly required. The remote reservoir itself improves heat dissipation during sustained high-speed or repeated-cycle use, reducing shock fade when the terrain demands it most.

Bump Zone and Shaft Engineering for High-Velocity Control

A 6061 billet aluminum manifold positioned just below the shock's top cap creates ICON's internal Bump Zone: as the shock approaches full compression, damping force increases by 20%, resisting harsh bottom-outs without stiffening the mid-stroke ride. The 7/8" induction-hardened, chrome-plated shock shaft and PTFE-lined spherical bearings handle the side-loads and articulation angles a Tacoma encounters off-road without accelerated wear.

Features

• 10-Level CDC Valve: externally adjustable compression damping with a single knob, no tools or disassembly needed
• Internal Bump Zone: 6061 billet aluminum manifold adds 20% damping force near full compression to resist bottom-outs
• One-Piece Extruded Aluminum Cylinder: lighter, more corrosion-resistant, and more dimensionally consistent than plated steel
• Nitrogen-Charged Monotube with Remote Reservoir: separates gas and oil charge; reservoir improves heat dissipation and reduces fade
• 100% Rebuildable and Revalveable: PTFE-lined spherical bearings and application-specific valving; premium 5WT shock oil for consistent damping across a wide temperature range
• Double-Sealed Schrader Caps: reduce risk of damage to the nitrogen charge valve

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

These shocks suit 2005–2023 Toyota Tacoma owners running 0–2" of rear lift on most submodels (0–1.5" on TRD Pro) who want externally adjustable compression damping, reduced shock fade on extended off-road runs, and a shock they can rebuild or revalve rather than replace outright.

These shocks do not fit 2WD Tacoma models with 5 wheel lug studs. They are not compatible with lift heights above 2" rear on standard submodels or above 1.5" on the TRD Pro. California residents: this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth anomalies, or other reproductive harm (Proposition 65).

Common Questions

What Tacoma years and trims do these shocks fit?

The ICON 57805CP rear shocks are built for 2005–2023 Toyota Tacoma. They are compatible with 0–2" of rear lift on most Tacoma submodels and with 0–1.5" of rear lift on the Tacoma TRD Pro. They do not fit 2WD Tacoma models equipped with 5 wheel lug studs.

How does the CDC Valve compression adjustment work?

The ICON CDC (Compression Damping Control) Valve is an external knob that restricts oil flow into the remote reservoir. Turning the knob cycles through 10 levels of compression damping force without removing the shock or opening any fluid circuit. Adjustments can be made with the truck on the ground between trail sections or driving conditions.

What is the Bump Zone and why does it matter?

ICON's internal Bump Zone is created by a 6061 billet aluminum manifold positioned a few inches below the shock's top cap. As the shock nears full compression, this manifold increases damping force by 20%, resisting harsh bottom-outs during high-velocity compression events (such as landing a jump or hitting a sharp ledge) without stiffening the shock through its normal travel range.

Are these shocks rebuildable?

Yes. The ICON V.S. 2.5 Aluminum Series shocks are 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable. The shock uses premium 5WT oil and PTFE-lined spherical bearings, and ICON offers rebuild and revalve services through their dealer network, meaning the shock can be serviced and retuned rather than replaced when it eventually needs attention.

How many shocks are included?

SKU 57805CP includes two rear shock absorbers (a matched pair) along with application-specific mounting hardware. Both shocks are configured to the same length and damping tune for the 2005–2023 Toyota Tacoma rear application.
