This system is built specifically for diesel-engine, 4WD Ram 2500s equipped with factory rear air springs and is compatible with 0–2 inches of rear lift on that air-spring platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-shipping-note\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReservoir Shocks Built for Sustained Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2.5 Aluminum Series reservoir shocks included front and rear separate the fluid and gas charge into a dedicated reservoir, which increases the volume available for heat dissipation during extended hard use. The practical result is more consistent damping over rough construction-site terrain, washboard dirt roads, and loaded towing runs: situations where a standard shock heats up and fades. All four shocks are fully serviceable, so the system can be rebuilt and revalved rather than replaced outright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAdjustable Track Bar for Axle Centering and Rigidity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front adjustable track bar uses PTFE-lined spherical FK bearings in place of the factory rubber bushings. Spherical bearings eliminate the deflection and compliance that rubber joints introduce under lateral load, tightening steering response and reducing body roll. The adjustable length lets the installer center the front axle under the truck after the lift, a step that fixed-length bars cannot perform and that matters for tire clearance and straight-line tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAir-Ride Compatible Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than bypassing the Ram 2500's factory air-ride system, ICON engineered this kit to locate the airbags and associated components so they are not over-traveled or damaged at ride height. All factory air-ride modes remain fully functional after installation. The optional ICON 2\" Air Ride Kit (Part #214212, sold separately) adds end-user adjustability of rear ride height from stock up to 2 inches over stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-rate front coil springs:\u003c\/strong\u003e rated specifically for diesel-engine Ram 2500s; matched and tuned to the included shocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.5 Aluminum Series reservoir shocks (front and rear):\u003c\/strong\u003e fully serviceable; reservoir design maintains consistent damping during heavy use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable front track bar:\u003c\/strong\u003e PTFE-lined spherical FK bearings; length-adjustable to center the front axle after lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFactory air-ride compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e components locate OEM airbags correctly; all factory air-ride modes retained\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo driveshaft modifications required\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo reduction in towing capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eK212543A\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFront lift\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.5\" (most submodels); 0.5\" (Ram 2500 Rebel)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRear lift compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0–2\" on factory rear air-spring equipped Ram 2500\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFront shocks\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.5 Aluminum Series reservoir (Part #217802P, qty 1 pair)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRear shocks\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.5 Aluminum Series reservoir, air-ride specific (Part #217708P, qty 1 pair)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFront springs\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDual-rate coil spring kit, diesel-rated (Part #214200, qty 1 kit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTrack bar\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAdjustable front track bar kit with FK\/PTFE spherical bearings (Part #214214, qty 1 kit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShock serviceability\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFully serviceable\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShipping weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e124 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVehicle fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2014–2026 Ram 2500, 4WD, Diesel, OEM rear air springs\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOEM wheels and tires\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCompatible\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRecommended aftermarket wheels\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eICON Alloys 17x8.5\" (5.25\" BS \/ 13mm offset); 18x9\" (5.50\" BS \/ 12mm offset); 20x9\" (5.50\" BS \/ 12mm offset)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRecommended aftermarket tires\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e35x12.50\" (larger tires may fit but require fender trimming)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePost-install requirement\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eADAS recalibration required\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThis system suits 2014–2026 Ram 2500 owners running a 4WD diesel truck with the factory rear air-spring suspension who want 2.5 inches of front lift with improved damping for towing, off-road use, and mixed on\/off-road driving without losing factory air-ride functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThis system does not fit Ram 2500 gas-engine models, 2WD models, or Ram 2500s without OEM rear air springs. It provides only 0.5 inches of front lift on the Ram 2500 Rebel. The optional ICON 2\" Air Ride Kit (Part #214212) for rear-height adjustability is sold separately and is not included.

The ICON Stage 3 system for the 2014–2026 Ram 2500 with OEM rear air springs is designed to properly locate the factory airbags so they are not over-traveled, and all factory air-ride modes remain fully functional after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes this kit fit gas-engine or 2WD Ram 2500 trucks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eNo. The ICON Stage 3 system K212543A is rated for diesel-engine, 4WD Ram 2500 models only. The front coil springs are specifically tuned for the diesel engine's weight distribution and will not perform correctly on gas-engine trucks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow much front lift does this system provide on the Ram 2500 Rebel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eOn the Ram 2500 Rebel, this ICON Stage 3 system provides 0.5 inches of front lift rather than the 2.5 inches it delivers on most other Ram 2500 submodels. This difference is due to the Rebel's factory suspension geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs rear-height adjustability included in this kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eRear-height adjustability is not included. The system is compatible with 0–2 inches of rear lift on factory air-spring Ram 2500 trucks. The optional ICON 2\" Air Ride Kit (Part #214212), which allows end-user adjustment of rear ride height from stock to 2 inches over stock, is sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eAre the shocks in this system rebuildable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes.
