ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK 3-Inch Lift Stage 3 Suspension System

The ICON Vehicle Dynamics Stage 3 Suspension System lifts 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK models 3 inches and pairs front and rear dual-rate progressive-wound coil springs with ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series Remote Reservoir shocks front and rear, plus adjustable track bars at both axles. The system ships as seven component kits in multiple boxes and fits two-door and four-door JK models, with application notes that apply to 2012-and-later builds.

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.

Dual-Rate Springs Built for Both Pavement and Trail

The front and rear dual-rate progressive-wound coil springs use a softer initial rate for on-road comfort and a firmer secondary rate that engages under compression to resist bottoming out on rough terrain. That two-stage behavior means the Wrangler JK rides without the harshness common to single-rate lift springs, then firms up precisely when the suspension is loaded hard on rocks or whoops. ICON provides a lifetime guarantee that these coil springs will not sag.

30% More Wheel Travel with Remote Reservoir Shocks

The ICON V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series Remote Reservoir shocks use OE mounting locations, aircraft-grade components, and vehicle-specific valving. The remote reservoir adds fluid volume for heat dissipation, reducing shock fade during sustained off-road use. Combined with the dual-rate springs, the system delivers 30% more wheel travel over stock, enough to out-articulate most long-arm kits of comparable lift height. The shocks are fully rebuildable and revalvable, so they can be serviced rather than replaced.

Adjustable Track Bars Keep Axles Centered

Stage 3 adds front and rear adjustable track bars that are not included in lower Stage configurations. Each track bar uses a dual-stage bushing system and a JM12T rod end to minimize deflection while maintaining steering responsiveness. Adjusting both track bars after installation lets the builder center each axle precisely under the vehicle, a step that matters for tire clearance and handling at 3 inches of lift. No cutting or welding is required, and the vehicle can be returned to stock configuration.

Features

• V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series Remote Reservoir shocks: four shocks (two front, two rear), fully rebuildable and revalvable
• Adjustable track bars front and rear: dual-stage bushing system and JM12T rod end at each bar
• 30% more wheel travel over stock: out-articulates most comparable-height long-arm kits
• No cutting or welding required: OE mounting locations throughout; vehicle can be returned to stock
• Tire clearance: fits 33-inch tires on stock fenders; 35-inch tires fit with aftermarket high-clearance fenders

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This system suits 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK owners (two-door or four-door) who want a 3-inch lift with meaningful off-road articulation and on-road ride quality, and who plan to run 33-inch tires on stock fenders or 35-inch tires with aftermarket high-clearance fenders. The adjustable track bars make it a strong fit for builders who want precise axle centering without moving to a long-arm kit.

This system does not fit any Jeep model other than the 2007–2018 Wrangler JK. On 2012-and-later JK builds, an exhaust spacer (ICON part 22011) or an aftermarket driveshaft (ICON part 22014) is required and is not included in this kit. A rear alignment cam kit may also be required and is sold separately. Two-door models will sit slightly higher than four-door models at the same installed lift. Actual lift height may exceed 3 inches on a stock-weight vehicle, as the advertised height is based on a typical JK build with heavier front and rear bumpers and a spare tire.

Common Questions

Does this system require cutting or welding?

The ICON Stage 3 JK system uses OE mounting locations throughout and requires no cutting or welding. The vehicle can be returned to stock configuration after installation.

What additional parts are required for 2012–2018 JK models?

On 2012-and-later Wrangler JK builds, this Stage 3 system requires either the ICON Exhaust Extension Spacer (part 22011) or an aftermarket driveshaft (part 22014). Neither part is included in the K22003 kit and must be purchased separately.

What tire sizes fit with this lift?

The ICON Stage 3 JK system is designed to clear 33 x 11.50-inch tires on stock fenders. Thirty-five-inch tires will fit with minor modifications or aftermarket high-clearance fenders; test fitment is recommended before committing to that tire size.

Are the shocks rebuildable?

Yes. The V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series Remote Reservoir shocks included in this system are fully rebuildable and revalvable, meaning they can be serviced and tuned rather than replaced when worn.

Why does actual lift height vary from the advertised 3 inches?

ICON's advertised lift height for this Stage 3 JK system is based on a typical Wrangler JK build that includes a heavier front bumper with winch and a heavier rear bumper with spare tire. A stock-weight vehicle may sit higher than 3 inches after installation. Two-door JK models also sit slightly higher than four-door models.
