ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2.5 VS Remote Reservoir Front Shocks for 2007-2018 Jeep JK Wrangler 3-Inch Lift, Pair

The ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2.5 VS Remote Reservoir Front Shocks (SKU 27820P) are a pair of nitrogen-charged monotube shocks built specifically for 2007–2018 Jeep JK Wrangler applications running a 3-inch lift, with length and damping tuned to that exact fitment. Each shock uses a one-piece impact-extruded aluminum cylinder for corrosion resistance and a consistent finish, paired with a remote reservoir that improves heat dissipation and reduces shock fade during extended off-road use.

Bump Zone Technology Prevents Harsh Bottom-Outs

A 6061 billet aluminum manifold positioned just below the top cap creates what ICON calls an internal Bump Zone. As the shock approaches full compression, this zone increases damping force by 20 percent, absorbing the energy that would otherwise produce a harsh bottom-out. For JK Wrangler owners who run technical terrain at speed, that additional control at the end of the stroke is the difference between a composed landing and a jarring impact.

Aluminum Construction Reduces Weight and Corrosion Risk

The one-piece impact-extruded aluminum cylinder is lighter than a traditional plated steel cylinder and resists corrosion without relying on a plating layer that can chip or flake. The 7/8-inch induction-hardened, chrome-plated shock shaft and 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum CNC-machined components carry that same standard throughout the assembly. PTFE-lined spherical bearings and application-specific mounting hardware are included so the shocks install directly without sourcing additional hardware.

Fully Rebuildable and Revalveable

Both shocks are 100 percent rebuildable and 100 percent revalveable, meaning the damping character can be changed as a build evolves rather than replacing the entire unit. Premium 5WT shock oil maintains consistent damping across a wide temperature range, and double-sealed Schrader caps protect the nitrogen charge from contamination. Buyers who want a more user-adjustable tune can pair these shocks with ICON's Compression Damping Control Valve (CDCV); those seeking bypass-style damping can step up to the Omega Series.

Features

• Internal Bump Zone: 6061 billet aluminum manifold adds 20% damping force near full compression
• Remote reservoir: nitrogen-charged monotube design with separate reservoir for heat dissipation and fade reduction
• One-piece aluminum cylinder: impact-extruded construction for corrosion resistance and uniform finish
• 7/8" hardened shaft: induction-hardened, chrome-plated for durability
• Rebuildable and revalveable: 100% serviceable; 5WT shock oil included
• PTFE-lined spherical bearings: application-specific mounting hardware included

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

These shocks suit 2007–2018 Jeep JK Wrangler owners running a 3-inch front lift who want a remote-reservoir monotube shock with application-specific valving for mixed street and off-road use, including high-speed terrain where bottom-out control matters.

These shocks are not compatible with JK Wrangler builds at lift heights other than 3 inches, and they do not fit any other Jeep model, model year outside 2007–2018, or any non-Jeep application. They are front shocks only; rear shocks are a separate purchase. California residents should note the Proposition 65 warning: this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth anomalies, or other reproductive harm.

Common Questions

What lift height are these shocks built for?

The ICON 27820P shocks are configured specifically for a 3-inch front lift on 2007–2018 Jeep JK Wrangler. Both the length and the damping tune are set for that application; they are not intended for use at other lift heights.

Do these shocks come with mounting hardware?

Yes. The ICON 2.5 VS Remote Reservoir shocks include PTFE-lined spherical bearings and application-specific mounting hardware for the 2007–2018 Jeep JK Wrangler front fitment.

What is the Bump Zone and why does it matter?

The Bump Zone is an internal zone created by a 6061 billet aluminum manifold near the top of the shock body. As the shock nears full compression, it increases damping force by 20 percent, reducing the severity of bottom-outs during high-speed or heavy-impact off-road driving.

Can these shocks be rebuilt or revalved?

Both shocks in the pair are 100 percent rebuildable and 100 percent revalveable, so the damping tune can be changed as a build evolves without replacing the entire shock unit.

Are rear shocks included in this listing?

No. SKU 27820P covers the front shock pair only for the 2007–2018 Jeep JK Wrangler at 3-inch lift. Rear shocks for this application are sold separately.
