ICON V.S. 2.5 Series Front Coilover Kit Remote Reservoir CDXS for 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma

The ICON Vehicle Dynamics V.S. 2.5 Series Front Coilover Kit with Remote Reservoir and CDXS is a vehicle-specific front suspension upgrade for 2005–2023 Toyota Tacoma, sold as a pair. Lift height adjustability ranges from 0–3.5" on 2005–2015 models, 0–2.75" on 2016–2023 models, and 0–1.25" on 2017–2023 TRD Pro models, all measured over a stock-equipped vehicle.

Larger Shock Body, More Travel

The 2.5" shock body and increased piston area over stock components maximize suspension travel and damping consistency across the full lift range. Vehicle-specific shock length and valving are tuned for the Tacoma's geometry, so the coilover works with the factory suspension architecture rather than against it. The result is controlled, predictable behavior on pavement and off it.

Remote Reservoir Cooling Under Hard Use

Remote reservoirs increase shock oil volume and heat-dissipation surface area, resisting the overheating and cavitation that cause damper fade during sustained off-road use. Hose length is optimized for fluid transfer, and reservoir mounting brackets are included to position the reservoirs for maximum tire clearance.

CDXS Dual-Speed Compression Adjustment

ICON's Compression Damping Dual Speed (CDXS) valving provides independent control of high-speed and low-speed compression force through two separate adjustment knobs, each with 10 detented settings. Low-speed adjustment governs body roll and handling response; high-speed adjustment governs overall aggressiveness over sharp impacts. The two knobs work independently, so dialing in one characteristic does not disturb the other.

Features

• 2.5" shock body: larger piston area than stock for maximum travel and damping capacity
• CDXS valving: independent high-speed and low-speed compression adjustment, 10 detents each
• Remote reservoir: increases oil volume and heat dissipation; reservoir mounting brackets included
• CAD-plated threaded body: corrosion-resistant with billet aluminum upper mount
• 5/8" PTFE-lined spherical bearings: low-friction pivot points at the upper mount
• Fully rebuildable: serviceable design; ICON-engineered coil springs included

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This coilover kit suits 2005–2023 Toyota Tacoma owners running 4WD who want adjustable front lift, increased suspension travel, and tunable compression damping for mixed on- and off-road use. It is compatible with OEM wheels and tires and accommodates recommended aftermarket fitments up to 33x11.50" (with trimming).

This kit does not fit 2WD Tacoma models with 5 wheel lug studs. Lift heights stated apply to stock-equipped vehicles; heavily loaded or accessorized trucks will see different ride heights (a 700 lb/in expedition coil spring is available separately for heavier builds). Vehicles equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) require recalibration after installation. Recommended tire sizes require fender trimming. A bump stop spacer kit (ICON p/n 51045) is required to increase preload beyond the maximum coilover height setting and is sold separately.

Common Questions

Does this kit fit both 2WD and 4WD Tacoma models?

The ICON V.S. 2.5 Series front coilover kit does not fit 2WD Tacoma models with 5 wheel lug studs. It is designed for 4WD Tacoma applications spanning the 2005–2023 model years.

How much lift will I get on my 2017–2023 TRD Pro Tacoma?

On 2017–2023 TRD Pro models, this front coilover kit provides a lift range of 0–1.25" over stock. Non-TRD Pro 2016–2023 Tacoma models achieve 0–2.75", and 2005–2015 models achieve up to 3.5". All figures apply to stock-equipped vehicles.

What does CDXS adjustment actually control?

CDXS (Compression Damping Dual Speed) provides two independent adjustment knobs on each coilover: one for low-speed compression (body roll, handling response) and one for high-speed compression (aggressiveness over sharp impacts). Each knob has 10 detented positions and can be set independently without affecting the other.

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes a pair of V.S. 2.5 Series front coilovers with remote reservoirs, ICON-engineered coil springs, sway bar relocation brackets, and reservoir mounting brackets. The bump stop spacer kit (p/n 51045) and the 700 lb/in expedition coil spring for heavily equipped vehicles are sold separately.

Will I need to recalibrate my Tacoma's safety systems after installing these coilovers?

Yes. Tacoma models equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) require recalibration of those systems after installing the ICON V.S. 2.5 Series front coilover kit. This step should be performed by a qualified shop with the appropriate calibration equipment.

Can these shocks be serviced or rebuilt?

The ICON V.S. 2.5 Series coilovers are fully rebuildable and serviceable, which extends their usable life compared to sealed units. Rebuild services and replacement parts are available through ICON's service network.
