ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2016-2023 Nissan Titan XD 3-Inch Lift Stage 3 Suspension System

The ICON Vehicle Dynamics Stage 3 Suspension System is a complete, 100% bolt-on lift kit engineered specifically for 2016–2023 Nissan Titan XD trucks, delivering a 2.5–3" front lift (based on 4WD Crew Cab Diesel configuration) and approximately 32% more front wheel travel than stock. The system ships as five matched components: 2.5 Series remote reservoir coilovers with CDC Valve (front), 2.5 Aluminum Series rear shocks with CDC Valve, Delta Joint upper control arms, a 1" cast rear lift block kit, and a 9" U-bolt kit. Both 2WD and 4WD applications are covered, and OEM wheels and tires retain fitment.

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.

Tunable Compression Damping on Both Ends

The front coilovers and rear shocks both carry ICON's CDC (Compression Damping Control) Valve, which lets the driver adjust compression damping without tools or a shock removal. A single system can be softened for daily highway miles and firmed up before a trail run, with no need to buy a second set of shocks or pay for a re-valve. The front coilovers also allow ride-height adjustment across the 2.5–3" lift range, so the truck can be set to clear larger tires or dialed back toward stock stance as needs change.

Delta Joint Upper Control Arms

The included upper control arms use ICON's patented Delta Joint, a high-angle ball joint with a zinc-plated housing and a grease seal that blocks dirt and moisture from the joint internals. Compared to a conventional uniball, the Delta Joint adds corrosion resistance and a greaseable metal-on-metal design that extends service life in daily-driven conditions. Compared to a standard ball joint, it allows greater articulation angles, which is where the additional wheel travel comes from. FK Rod End bearings at the arm pivots further reduce deflection under load.

Aircraft-Grade Aluminum and Corrosion-Resistant Finishes

Coilover shock bodies are CAD-plated for corrosion resistance and machined from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum with 7/8" shafts. The 2.5 Aluminum Series rear shocks use one-piece impact-extruded aluminum cylinders, which produce a consistent finish and resist corrosion without a separate coating. CNC-machined internals hold tighter tolerances than cast alternatives, which matters for the vehicle-specific shock tune built into each application: a tune that accounts for the Titan XD's heavier-than-half-ton chassis without sacrificing towing capacity.

Features

• CDC Valve (front and rear): end-user compression damping adjustment on both the coilovers and rear shocks
• Delta Joint UCAs: patented high-angle ball joint with zinc-plated housing, grease seal, and greaseable metal-on-metal construction
• ~32% more front wheel travel: over stock, per ICON's application-specific measurement
• Adjustable lift range: 2.5–3" front lift height via coilover preload adjustment
• 6061 aluminum CNC components: CAD-plated coilover bodies with 7/8" shafts; impact-extruded aluminum rear shock cylinders
• 100% bolt-on: fits 2WD and 4WD Titan XD; OEM wheels and tires retain fitment

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This system suits 2016–2023 Nissan Titan XD owners (2WD or 4WD) who want a complete, bolt-on suspension upgrade with adjustable lift, tunable compression damping, and meaningfully more front wheel travel for mixed on- and off-road use. Lift height figures are based on the 4WD Crew Cab Diesel configuration; other cab and drivetrain combinations may see different results.

This system does not fit standard Nissan Titan (non-XD) trucks. Coilover height measurements are for a stock-equipped vehicle; a truck already modified from stock may require additional adjustment. Tires larger than 33x11.50" may fit but will require fender trimming or other modifications. Shocks are fully serviceable; aftermarket wheels and tires larger than the OEM size are sold separately.

Common Questions

Does this system fit both 2WD and 4WD Titan XD trucks?

Yes. The ICON Stage 3 Suspension System for the 2016–2023 Nissan Titan XD is designed for both 2WD and 4WD applications. The 2.5–3" front lift height figures are based on the 4WD Crew Cab Diesel configuration, so results on other cab or drivetrain combinations may differ slightly.

What does the CDC Valve do, and how is it adjusted?

The CDC (Compression Damping Control) Valve on both the front coilovers and rear shocks allows the driver to change compression damping without removing the shock from the vehicle. Turning the valve firms or softens the ride to suit road conditions or load, with no tools or re-valve required.

Will OEM Titan XD wheels and tires still fit after installation?

Yes. The ICON Stage 3 system is confirmed compatible with OEM Titan XD wheels and tires. Tires up to 33x11.50" are recommended; larger tires may fit but will require fender trimming or other modifications to the vehicle.

What is included in the Stage 3 kit, and does it ship complete?

The Stage 3 kit includes front 2.5 Series remote reservoir coilovers with CDC Valve, 2.5 Aluminum Series rear shocks with CDC Valve, Delta Joint upper control arms, a 1" cast rear lift block kit, and a 9" U-bolt kit. The system ships in multiple boxes as one order.

Does installing this system affect the Titan XD's towing capacity?

The ICON Stage 3 system is designed so that increased ride quality and wheel travel are achieved with no change in towing capacity compared to stock, according to ICON's application notes for this kit.
