Each shock is configured specifically for this application in both length and damping tune, and the pair ships with application-specific mounting hardware. Aftermarket upper control arms with a high-angle ball joint are required for installation.\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.

Turning a knob lets the driver dial in a firmer setting for loaded towing runs or a softer setting for daily driving without removing the shock or opening the system. That range of adjustability means the suspension can be tuned to the truck's actual use rather than locked into a single factory compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInternal Bump Zone for High-Speed Control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 6061 billet aluminum manifold positioned a few inches below the top cap creates an internal Bump Zone that adds 20% of damping force as the shock approaches full compression. At high velocity (hitting a washboard at speed or landing after a drop), that additional resistance prevents harsh bottom-outs and keeps the suspension from deflecting unpredictably. The remote reservoir improves heat dissipation during prolonged off-road use, reducing shock fade when the shocks are cycled repeatedly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to Be Serviced, Not Replaced\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shock body is CNC-machined 1026 DOM steel with a CAD plating for corrosion resistance. The 7\/8-inch induction-hardened, chrome-plated shock shaft and PTFE-lined spherical bearings are built to withstand repeated stress cycles. Both shocks are 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable, so worn seals or a damping tune that no longer suits the build can be addressed without buying a new unit. Premium-grade 5WT shock oil maintains consistent damping across a wide temperature range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCDC Valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 levels of externally adjustable compression damping\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\u003eRemote Reservoir:\u003c\/strong\u003e nitrogen-charged monotube design with improved heat dissipation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShock Shaft:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\/8\" induction-hardened, chrome-plated with PTFE-lined spherical bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShock Body:\u003c\/strong\u003e CAD-plated, precision-machined 1026 DOM steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRebuildable and Revalveable:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% serviceable; vehicle-specific valving for this application\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\u003e77832CP\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2011–2019 GM 2500\/3500 HD\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLift Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0–2 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShock Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eV.S. 2.5 Series (2.5\" body)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNitrogen-charged monotube with remote reservoir\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShock Shaft\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e7\/8\" induction-hardened, chrome-plated\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShock Body\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCAD-plated 1026 DOM steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eManifold\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e6061 billet aluminum\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\u003eCompression Adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e10 levels via CDC Valve\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\u003e30 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRequired Additional Parts\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAftermarket upper control arms with high-angle ball joint\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 2011–2019 GM 2500\/3500 HD owners running 0–2 inches of lift who want externally adjustable compression damping and extended travel for mixed on-road and off-road use, including loaded towing and high-speed trail driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThese shocks do not fit GM 1500 trucks, any GM HD outside the 2011–2019 model years, or trucks running more than 2 inches of lift.
