ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2.0 Aluminum Series Remote Reservoir Front Shock 7.5" Travel

The ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2.0 Aluminum Series Remote Reservoir Front Shock is a universal-mount, nitrogen-charged monotube shock absorber with 7.5 inches of shaft travel, built for street drivers and off-road enthusiasts who want a rebuildable, revalveable upgrade over factory dampers. Because this shock is not application-specific, installation requires custom fabrication to mount to the vehicle.

Remote Reservoir for Sustained Performance

The remote reservoir increases shock oil volume and expands the heat dissipation surface area beyond what a standard body-only shock can provide. Under repeated hard use (water crossings, washboard roads, or extended trail runs), that added volume helps resist the oil aeration and cavitation that cause damper fade. The result is more consistent damping force late in a run, when a smaller shock would already be losing response.

Aluminum Construction with a Rebuildable Design

The shock body and reservoir tubing are 6063 anodized aluminum, chosen for heat dissipation and corrosion resistance. The rod end, top cap, and internals are 6061 aluminum. The 5/8-inch chrome-plated hardened steel shaft resists corrosion and surface pitting over time. Polyurethane bushings, zinc-plated sleeves, and forged steel mounting stems are included for OE-style fitment at the mount points.

Every 2.0 Aluminum Series shock is 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable, so the shock can be serviced or retuned rather than replaced when valving needs change or wear accumulates.

Valving and Oil

The one-piece linear/digressive piston uses vehicle-specific valving and runs on premium-grade 5WT shock oil, which maintains consistent damping across a wide temperature range. The nitrogen-charged monotube design separates oil from gas to prevent foaming under load.

Features

• Nitrogen-charged monotube: remote reservoir with one-piece linear/digressive piston
• 5WT shock oil: consistent damping across a wide temperature range
• 5/8" chrome-plated hardened steel shaft: resists corrosion and surface pitting
• 6063 anodized aluminum body and reservoir: heat dissipation and corrosion resistance
• 100% rebuildable and revalveable: serviceable and retunable without full replacement
• Nitrile rubber top-out bumper: noise-free operation at full extension

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This shock suits builders and fabricators constructing a custom suspension setup who need a high-quality, rebuildable 2.0-inch remote reservoir monotube shock and have the means to fabricate or source custom mounting hardware for their specific vehicle.

This shock does not include application-specific mounting brackets and is not a bolt-on replacement for any specific make, model, or year of vehicle. Buyers expecting a direct-fit drop-in shock for a named truck or SUV should look at ICON's application-specific 2.0 Series kits instead. This shock is sold individually; a complete suspension system requires additional components.

Common Questions

Will this shock bolt directly onto my truck or SUV?

The ICON 2.0 Aluminum Series Remote Reservoir Front Shock is a universal-mount unit, not application-specific. Mounting it to a vehicle requires custom fabrication. Buyers who need a direct bolt-on solution should look at ICON's vehicle-specific 2.0 Series shock kits, which include application-matched mounting hardware.

What are the extended and compressed lengths?

This shock measures 19.00 inches extended and 11.55 inches compressed, with 7.45 inches of shaft travel. These dimensions are the starting point for calculating whether the shock fits a given suspension geometry before fabricating mounts.

Can this shock be rebuilt or revalved if the damping needs to change?

Yes. Every ICON 2.0 Aluminum Series shock is 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable, meaning the internals can be serviced and the valving can be changed to suit a different vehicle weight, spring rate, or use case without replacing the entire shock body.

Is the remote reservoir included, or is it a separate purchase?

The remote reservoir is part of this shock as sold under SKU 206511R. Application-specific reservoir mounting hardware is included. An optional billet reservoir clamp kit and reservoir hose shield kit are available separately if additional mounting or protection is needed.

Does this product carry a California Proposition 65 warning?

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 as required by Proposition 65.
