Driver Front Damping Engineered for GM HD Duty Cycles
The ICON 76551RD is the driver side front VS 2.0 HD piggyback reservoir shock built for 2011-2026 GM 2500HD and 3500HD trucks running 0 to 3.5 inches of front lift. As the companion to the passenger side 76551RP, this shock carries its own remote piggyback reservoir to add oil volume and fight fade during hard braking, plow use, or heavy front axle loading. The internal valve stack is tuned specifically for GM HD front geometry, delivering controlled, predictable damping instead of a generic aftermarket curve.
Key Features
- Vehicle specific valving tuned for the GM 2500HD and 3500HD front suspension
- Piggyback remote reservoir increases oil volume and resists fade under hard use
- 6061 aluminum shock body resists corrosion and reduces unsprung weight
- 7/8 inch chrome plated shaft built for heavy front axle loads
- 100 percent rebuildable and revalveable for long term serviceability
- Designed specifically for the driver side front mounting position
