ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2.0 Aluminum Series Rear Shock Remote Reservoir HD Valving 13" Travel

The ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2.0 Aluminum Series Rear Shock is a universal-fit, nitrogen-charged monotube shock absorber built for drivers who want a meaningful performance upgrade over OE dampers without moving to a larger-diameter shock body. With 13.82 inches of shaft travel, a remote reservoir, and a 6063 anodized aluminum body, it is designed for both daily street use and hard off-road driving. This shock is not application-specific and requires custom fabrication to mount to a vehicle.

Remote Reservoir for Sustained Performance

The remote reservoir on the ICON 2.0 Aluminum Series Rear Shock increases total shock oil volume and expands the heat-dissipation surface area beyond what a standard body-only shock can offer. Under repeated hard use (high-speed whoops, loaded towing, or back-to-back trail runs), conventional shocks lose damping consistency as oil heats and aerates. The remote reservoir delays that onset, keeping damping force more consistent across a longer run without requiring a larger 2.5 or 3.0 Series shock body.

Aluminum Construction with a Rebuildable Design

The shock body and reservoir tubing are 6063 anodized aluminum, chosen for its combination of heat dissipation, corrosion resistance, and reduced weight compared to steel. The rod end, top cap, and internals are 6061 aluminum. The 5/8 inch chrome-plated hardened steel shaft resists corrosion and surface pitting that can damage seals over time. Because the 2.0 Aluminum Series is 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable, a worn seal or a valving change for a new use case does not mean replacing the entire shock.

Valving and Ride Quality

The one-piece linear/digressive piston is paired with HD valving and 5WT shock oil, which maintains consistent damping across a wide temperature range. Polyurethane bushings, zinc-plated sleeves, and forged steel mounting stems are included for OE-style fitment at the mount points. A nitrile rubber top-out bumper prevents metal-to-metal contact and noise at full extension.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The ICON 2.0 Aluminum Series Rear Shock suits builders and fabricators constructing a custom suspension setup who need a high-quality, rebuildable monotube shock with a remote reservoir and defined eyelet mounting dimensions. It is appropriate for off-road and street applications where the installer can fabricate or source custom mounting hardware to fit the 1.5 in tab width and 0.5 in bolt diameter eyelet spec.

This shock does not include application-specific mounting brackets or drop-in hardware for any particular make, model, or year of vehicle; custom fabrication is required. It is not a direct bolt-on replacement for any OE or aftermarket shock without additional fabrication work. Builders who need a shock rated for more severe off-road abuse should consider the ICON 2.5 Series instead.

Common Questions

Does this shock fit my specific truck or SUV directly?

The ICON 2.0 Aluminum Series Rear Shock is a universal-fit unit, not designed for any specific make, model, or year. Mounting requires custom fabrication to match the 1.5 in tab width and 0.5 in bolt diameter eyelet dimensions to the vehicle's suspension mounting points. It is not a direct bolt-on replacement without additional fabrication.

What are the extended and compressed lengths?

The ICON 2.0 Aluminum Series Rear Shock measures 31.80 inches extended and 17.98 inches compressed, for a shaft travel of 13.82 inches. These dimensions are the key measurements needed when designing or verifying a custom suspension mount for this shock.

Can this shock be rebuilt or revalved if it wears out?

Yes. The ICON 2.0 Aluminum Series Rear Shock is 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable. Seals can be replaced and the valving can be changed to suit a different use case or load without replacing the entire shock body, which extends the useful life of the unit.

What is the purpose of the remote reservoir on this shock?

The remote reservoir on the ICON 2.0 Aluminum Series Rear Shock increases total shock oil volume and adds heat-dissipation surface area beyond the main body. This helps resist oil overheating and cavitation during hard or repeated use, which can otherwise cause damper fade and reduced damping consistency.
