ICON Suspension Kits, Lift Kits, Coilovers & Control Arms

What This Category Covers

ICON is a suspension brand focused on coilovers, shock absorbers, and lift systems engineered for daily-driven trucks and Jeeps that also see off-road use. This category spans complete Stage kits down to individual coilovers, shocks, and control arms sold separately.

Coilovers and Shocks

ICON coilovers use an external or remote reservoir design on higher-tier kits to manage heat and maintain damping consistency during extended off-road driving. Standard ICON shocks pair with the vehicle factory spring or an ICON-specific spring rate depending on the kit level.

Stage Kits

ICON Stage 1 through Stage 8 kits bundle front and rear suspension components at increasing levels of capability, from a basic leveling kit to a full long-travel system with upper control arms, adjustable track bars, and rear leaf packs.

Lift and Leveling Options

ICON offers leveling kits for a modest lift that corrects factory rake, along with taller lift kits for larger tire clearance and increased wheel travel. Lift height and kit contents vary by platform, so confirming exact year, make, and model is required.

Control Arms and Links

Upper control arms improve wheel travel and correct caster and camber after a lift, particularly on Toyota Tacoma and 4Runner platforms. Rear traction bars and adjustable track bars are included on many Stage kits for Ford F-150 and Ram applications.

Vehicle Platforms

ICON suspension is built for Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner, Tundra, and Land Cruiser, Ford F-150, F-150 Raptor, and Super Duty, Ram 1500 and heavy-duty trucks, and Jeep Gladiator. Kit contents and stage numbers differ by platform based on factory suspension design and available wheel travel.

Daily Driver vs Off-Road Focus

Lower Stage kits emphasize a comfortable ride with a modest lift for wheel and tire clearance, while higher Stage kits target off-road capability with remote reservoir shocks and increased suspension travel for desert and trail driving.

Fitment Considerations

ICON kits are engineered per platform and trim, so a Stage kit built for a Tacoma TRD Off-Road will differ from one built for a Tacoma Limited due to factory suspension differences. Confirm exact year, make, model, and trim, along with 2WD or 4WD drivetrain, before ordering.

Spring Rates and Load

ICON offers different spring rate options on many kits to account for added weight from bumpers, winches, or camper shells, so selecting the correct spring rate for the vehicle load is part of proper fitment.

Common Questions

What is the difference between ICON Stage kits?

Stage kits increase in components and capability, ranging from basic leveling at Stage 1 to full long-travel systems with control arms and reservoir shocks at higher stages.

Do ICON kits require an alignment after installation?

Yes, a wheel alignment is required after installing an ICON suspension kit due to changes in ride height, caster, and camber.

Can I run a leveling kit with larger tires?

A leveling kit typically allows for a modest tire size increase, though the exact clearance depends on the specific vehicle and wheel offset.

Do ICON coilovers need to be tuned after installation?

Adjustable ICON coilovers allow ride height and, on some models, compression tuning to be set after installation to match the vehicle load.

What is a remote reservoir shock?

A remote reservoir shock uses an external oil reservoir connected by a hose to improve heat dissipation and maintain consistent damping during extended off-road use.

Do I need upper control arms with an ICON lift kit?

Many Stage kits include or recommend upper control arms to restore proper wheel travel and alignment range after a lift, particularly on Toyota Tacoma and 4Runner.

Will an ICON kit affect my factory warranty?

Suspension modifications can affect coverage for related components, so it is worth discussing with your dealer before installation.

Can ICON suspension be installed at home?

Basic leveling kits are within reach for an experienced DIY installer, while full Stage kits with control arms and reservoir shocks are typically installed by a professional shop.

Does a lift kit reduce ride quality?

ICON kits are tuned to maintain or improve ride quality over stock, unlike basic lift spacers that can degrade ride comfort.

How do I know which ICON kit fits my truck?

Confirm your exact year, make, model, trim, and drivetrain, then match that data against the specific Stage kit listing to ensure correct fitment.
