ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2018-Up Jeep JL Wrangler 2.5-Inch Lift Stage 3 Suspension System

The ICON Vehicle Dynamics Stage 3 Suspension System delivers a 2.5-inch lift and over 30 percent more wheel travel (3 inches front, 2 inches rear) for 2018-and-newer Jeep Wrangler JL models, replacing the OEM links, track bars, springs, and shocks with a fully engineered, bolt-on system validated through ICON's ICON1K thousand-mile off-road test program. The system fits 2-door and 4-door JL builds and is not compatible with the Wrangler JL 4xe or Unlimited Rubicon 392 trims.

More Wheel Travel Where It Counts

The Stage 3 system increases front wheel travel by 3 inches and rear wheel travel by 2 inches over stock, a greater-than-30-percent gain. That added articulation keeps tires in contact with the ground longer on uneven terrain, reducing the chassis flex and wheel-lift events that limit traction on rock crawls and rough trails. The 2.0 Aluminum Series shocks use vehicle-specific valving tuned to the JL's geometry, so the travel gain translates into controlled, predictable suspension movement rather than a vague, bouncy ride.

Links and Track Bars Built to Replace OEM Limits

The front lower links are constructed from thick-wall steel tubing with dual durometer bushings, which increases caster numbers and allows maximum articulation with minimal bind and no noise. Adjustable front upper links, adjustable front and rear track bars, and sway bar links round out the geometry correction, keeping the axle centered and the steering geometry accurate after the lift. Because every geometry component in the system is designed together, the corrections work as a set rather than as mismatched individual upgrades.

Dual Rate Springs with Tire Flexibility

Front and rear dual rate coil springs provide a compliant on-road ride at low suspension loads and a firmer, more supportive rate under heavy off-road compression. The Stage 3 system accommodates 35-inch tires using ICON's recommended wheel specifications (17x8.5-inch with 4.5-inch backspace / -6mm offset, or 18x9-inch with 4.5-inch backspace / -12mm offset). Fitment of 37-inch tires requires the optional bump stop spacer kit (PN: 22029), sold separately.

Features

• 2.5-inch lift height: based on a typical JL build with added accessory weight; stock-weight vehicles may sit higher; diesel models net approximately 1.75 inches of front lift
• Wheel travel increase: 3 inches front, 2 inches rear over OEM
• 2.0 Aluminum Series shocks: vehicle-specific valving, fully serviceable, included front and rear
• Thick-wall steel front lower links: dual durometer bushings for noise-free operation and maximum articulation
• Adjustable track bars: front and rear, included to correct axle centering after lift
• 35-inch tire fitment: with recommended wheel specs; 37-inch fitment possible with optional PN 22029 bump stop spacer kit

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Stage 3 system suits 2018-and-newer Jeep Wrangler JL owners, 2-door or 4-door, who want a significant, geometry-corrected lift with measurably more wheel travel for rock crawling, trail driving, or high-speed desert running, and who plan to run 35-inch or 37-inch tires on aftermarket wheels meeting ICON's backspace and offset specifications.

This system does not fit the Jeep Wrangler JL 4xe or Unlimited Rubicon 392 trims. Diesel-model JL owners should expect approximately 1.75 inches of front lift rather than the full 2.5 inches due to the engine's added weight. Running 37-inch tires requires the separately sold bump stop spacer kit (PN: 22029), which is not included.

Common Questions

Which Jeep Wrangler JL trims does this system not fit?

The ICON Stage 3 2.5-inch system is not compatible with the Jeep Wrangler JL 4xe or the Unlimited Rubicon 392. All other 2018-and-newer JL trims, both 2-door and 4-door, are supported. Diesel-powered JL models are compatible but will net approximately 1.75 inches of front lift rather than the full 2.5 inches because of the engine's additional weight.

Can I run 37-inch tires with this system?

The Stage 3 system is designed to accommodate 35 x 12.50-inch tires with ICON's recommended wheel specifications. Running 37 x 12.50-inch tires requires the optional bump stop spacer kit (PN: 22029), which is sold separately and not included in this kit.

What wheel specs does ICON recommend with this system?

ICON recommends either a 17x8.5-inch wheel with 4.5-inch backspace and -6mm offset, or an 18x9-inch wheel with 4.5-inch backspace and -12mm offset. The system is also compatible with OEM wheels and tires if the buyer is not upgrading wheels at the same time.

Are the shocks rebuildable, and what components are included?

The 2.0 Aluminum Series shocks included in the Stage 3 system are fully serviceable. The complete kit includes front and rear dual rate coil springs, front and rear 2.0 Aluminum Series shocks, front fixed lower links, adjustable front upper links, adjustable front and rear track bars, sway bar links, bump stop spacers, and all necessary hardware.

Will the lift height differ between a 2-door and 4-door JL?

Two-door Wrangler JL models sit slightly higher than 4-door models after installation, but both remain level. ICON's advertised 2.5-inch lift height is based on a typical JL build that includes added accessory weight such as a heavier front bumper, winch, and rear bumper with spare tire; a stock-weight vehicle may sit higher than the stated figure.
