ICON V.S. 3.0 Zeta Bypass RXT Rear Shock with CDEV for 2021-2026 Ford F-150 Raptor

The ICON V.S. 3.0 Series Zeta Bypass RXT is a passenger-side rear shock absorber built specifically for the 2021–2026 Gen3 Ford F-150 Raptor, delivering 17 inches of usable rear wheel travel when paired with ICON rear coil springs. The 3.0-inch shock body, dual-hose recirculating remote reservoir, and integrated Compression Damping Electronic Valve (CDEV) place this shock at the top of ICON's Raptor-specific rear suspension lineup. This listing covers the passenger-side unit (SKU 95206R); the driver-side shock (95206L) is sold separately.

17 Inches of Rear Wheel Travel from the Factory Location

A side-mount upper eyelet design lets the shock collapse shorter and extend longer than a conventional shock while still bolting directly into the Raptor's factory mounting location. Paired with ICON rear coil springs (part number 95230 or 95231, sold separately), the application-specific shock length unlocks 17 inches of total rear wheel travel. That extra down-travel translates to the rear axle staying in contact with terrain longer on rough ground, reducing the jarring that comes from the axle dropping away mid-obstacle.

Recirculating Reservoir Keeps Damping Consistent Under Hard Use

The 3.0 Dual Hose Recirculating Reservoir (patent pending) uses a check valve to exchange hot fluid from the shock body with cooler fluid in the reservoir rather than simply storing overflow. The 12.5-inch finned aluminum reservoir adds surface area to accelerate heat dissipation and maintains ample nitrogen volume. The practical result is sustained damping performance during extended high-speed runs or repeated large hits, where a conventional shock would begin to fade as fluid temperature climbs.

Bypass Valves Built for Adjustment, Not Just Performance

Each bypass valve carries its own port design and spring rate, tuned for a specific zone of shock travel. Damped valve seats eliminate the clicking noise common to traditional bypass shocks. Tool-free high-resolution clicker knobs adjust in quarter-turn increments, moving from plush off-road compliance to firmer on-road control in seconds. Bypass tubes are replaceable during a standard rebuild: if a tube is damaged, only the tube is swapped rather than the entire shock body.

CDEV: Electronic Compression Damping Independent of Drive Mode

ICON's Compression Damping Electronic Valve (CDEV) is an electronically controlled valve that meters oil flow to regulate compression damping force. The valve responds in under 40 milliseconds and is hydraulically calibrated for the Raptor's specific application. Operated through the ICON Intelligent Control (IIC) system and ICON's proprietary iOS app, the CDEV adjusts compression damping independently from the Raptor's factory drive-mode settings, giving the driver finer resolution and a setup that isn't locked to the vehicle's ECU logic. An iOS device is required to run the app.

Features

• 3.0-inch bypass shock body: Cerakoted cylinder finish with hard-anodized aluminum bypass tubes
• Dual-hose recirculating reservoir (patent pending): 12.5-inch finned aluminum reservoir for heat dissipation and nitrogen volume
• 17 inches of rear wheel travel: Achieved when paired with ICON rear coil springs 95230 or 95231
• Tool-free clicker knobs: Quarter-turn increments for bypass adjustment without tools
• Replaceable bypass tubes: Serviceable during standard rebuild without replacing the shock body
• CDEV with IIC integration: Electronic compression damping adjustable via ICON iOS app, independent of factory drive mode
• Protective shin guard: Shields the shaft from debris to extend service intervals

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This shock suits 2021–2026 Gen3 Ford F-150 Raptor owners who want maximum rear wheel travel, sustained high-speed damping performance, and the ability to tune compression damping electronically and independently from the factory drive-mode system. It is designed for use with ICON rear coil springs and as part of a complete ICON IIC/CDEV system that also includes CDEV front shocks.

This shock does not fit any F-150 Raptor generation other than 2021–2026 Gen3, and it is not compatible with the factory OE rear coil springs. ICON rear coil springs (95230 or 95231) are required and sold separately. The driver-side shock (95206L) is also sold separately. Vehicles with single-solenoid OE shock absorbers require ICON solenoid mount kit 95020 (sold separately). Vehicles with dual-solenoid OE shock absorbers require a damper interface device available from third-party manufacturers. The ICON Intelligent Control app requires an iOS device. This listing is for one shock only.

Common Questions

Does this shock work with the factory OE rear coil springs?

No. The ICON V.S. 3.0 Zeta Bypass RXT rear shock for the 2021–2026 F-150 Raptor is not compatible with OE rear coil springs. The shock length is engineered specifically to work with ICON rear coil springs, part number 95230 or 95231, which are sold separately. Using OE springs will not achieve the intended 17 inches of rear wheel travel.

Is this listing for both the driver and passenger rear shocks?

No. This listing (SKU 95206R) covers the passenger-side rear shock only. The driver-side rear shock carries part number 95206L and is sold separately. Both are required for a complete rear shock replacement on the 2021–2026 Gen3 Ford F-150 Raptor.

What additional parts are needed to run the CDEV system?

The CDEV system on this shock requires the applicable ICON IIC kit and ICON CDEV front shocks, all sold separately. Vehicles equipped with single-solenoid OE shock absorbers also need ICON solenoid mount kit 95020. Vehicles with dual-solenoid OE shock absorbers require a damper interface device available from third-party manufacturers. An iOS device is required to operate the ICON Intelligent Control app.

Can the bypass and compression damping be adjusted without tools?

Bypass adjustment on the ICON V.S. 3.0 Zeta RXT uses tool-free high-resolution clicker knobs that move in quarter-turn increments, accessible from outside the shock. Compression damping is adjusted electronically via the ICON Intelligent Control app on an iOS device. Neither adjustment requires removing the shock or using hand tools.

What happens if a bypass tube is damaged?

The bypass tubes on this shock are designed to be replaced individually during a standard rebuild. If a tube is damaged, only that tube needs to be swapped out rather than replacing the entire shock body, which reduces rebuild cost compared to a conventional bypass shock where body damage typically requires full replacement.
