ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2.0 Aluminum Series Rear Shock Remote Reservoir HD Valving 11in Travel

The ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2.0 Aluminum Series Rear Shock is a universal-fit, nitrogen-charged monotube shock absorber with a remote reservoir, HD valving, and 11 inches of travel, built for drivers who want a rebuildable, revalveable performance upgrade for both street and off-road use. Because this shock is not application-specific, mounting to a particular vehicle may require custom fabrication.

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.

Remote Reservoir for Sustained Performance

The external remote reservoir significantly increases shock oil volume and heat-dissipation surface area compared to a standard monotube body alone. Under repeated hard compressions (washboard roads, rock gardens, high-speed desert runs), that added capacity resists the oil aeration and cavitation that cause damper fade, so the shock continues to respond consistently rather than going soft mid-run.

Built to Be Serviced, Not Replaced

Every 2.0 Aluminum Series shock is 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable. When valving wears or a use case changes, the shock can be revalved rather than replaced. The 5/8-inch chrome-plated hardened steel shaft resists corrosion and pitting, and the 6061 aluminum rod end, top cap, and internals are designed to withstand repeated service cycles without degrading.

Materials Chosen for Heat and Corrosion Resistance

The shock body and reservoir tubing are 6063 anodized aluminum, a grade selected for its heat-dissipation characteristics and corrosion resistance. Both properties matter for shocks that run hot under sustained off-road use or in wet, salty, or muddy environments. Polyurethane bushings, zinc-plated sleeves, and forged steel mounting stems provide OE-style fitment at the mount points. A nitrile rubber top-out bumper prevents metal-on-metal contact and eliminates the noise that comes with it.

Features

• Nitrogen-charged monotube design: remote reservoir with one-piece linear/digressive piston for consistent damping on and off-road
• 5WT shock oil: maintains consistent suspension damping across a wide temperature range
• 5/8-inch chrome-plated hardened steel shaft: resists corrosion and pitting under hard use
• 6061 aluminum internals: rod end, top cap, and internal components for strength and durability
• 6063 anodized aluminum body and reservoir: superior heat dissipation and corrosion resistance
• 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable: application-specific revalving available as needs change

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This shock suits builders and fabricators who need a high-quality 2.0-inch aluminum remote-reservoir shock for a custom suspension application: a one-off build, a race buggy, a prerunner, or any project where the mounting points are fabricated to suit the shock rather than the other way around. It also works for enthusiasts upgrading a vehicle whose existing mounts accept a 1.5-inch-wide eyelet with a 0.5-inch bolt.

This shock is not a direct bolt-on replacement for any specific make, model, or year of production vehicle. ICON's own technical note states it is not application-specific and may require custom fabrication to mount. Buyers seeking a vehicle-specific shock for a named truck or SUV should look at ICON's application-specific 2.0 or 2.5 Series fitments instead.

Common Questions

Does this shock fit my specific truck or SUV?

The ICON 2.0 Aluminum Series Rear Shock (206513R) is a universal-fit unit, not engineered for a specific make or model. ICON's own technical note states that mounting to a vehicle may require custom fabrication. Buyers who need a direct bolt-on fitment for a named vehicle should select one of ICON's application-specific shock part numbers instead.

What are the mounting dimensions?

The 2.0 Aluminum Series Rear Shock uses upper and lower eyelets sized for a 1.5-inch width between tabs and a 0.5-inch diameter bolt. Extended length is 25.75 inches, compressed length is 14.93 inches, and shaft travel is 10.82 inches. Verify these dimensions against your chassis mounting points before ordering.

Can this shock be rebuilt or revalved later?

Yes. The ICON 2.0 Aluminum Series shock is 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable, meaning worn seals and oil can be replaced and the valving can be changed to suit a different use case without replacing the entire shock body.

What is the remote reservoir for?

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 shock body alone provides. Under repeated hard compressions and high-speed off-road driving, this helps resist oil aeration, cavitation, and the damper fade that follows.

Is there a California Proposition 65 warning for this product?

Yes. This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth anomalies, or other reproductive harm. This warning applies to California residents under Proposition 65.
