Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ICO86533?The ICO86533 is the ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2.0 Aluminum Series internal reservoir rear shock absorber for the 2022-2025 Nissan Frontier. It supports 0 to 1.5 inches of rear lift over stock and is sold as a single unit, requiring a quantity of two per vehicle.
Does the ICO86533 fit third-generation Nissan Frontier models?Yes. The ICO86533 is engineered for the 2022-2025 Nissan Frontier, which corresponds to the third-generation D41 platform. It is not compatible with the second-generation D40 Frontier (2005-2021), which uses a different rear shock geometry and mounting configuration.
Is the ICON 86533 sold as a pair or individually?The ICO86533 is sold individually. A quantity of two is required for a complete rear shock replacement on the 2022-2025 Nissan Frontier. Be sure to add two units to your cart if ordering for a full replacement.
What lift range does the ICO86533 support on the Frontier?The ICO86533 is compatible with 0 to 1.5 inches of rear lift over stock on the 2022-2025 Nissan Frontier. Lift heights are based on a stock-equipped vehicle, and added vehicle weight from accessories will reduce the effective lift range.
What is the difference between the ICON 2.0 and 2.5 Aluminum Series shock?The ICO86533 is a 2.0 Series shock with a smaller aluminum body and internal reservoir, optimized for cost-effective performance and street and light trail use. The 2.5 Series uses a larger shock body, optionally with a remote reservoir, for improved heat management during sustained hard off-road use. For most daily driving and mild off-road use, the ICO86533 is an excellent choice.
What pairs well with the ICO86533 on the Frontier?For a complete front-to-rear suspension upgrade on the 2022-2025 Nissan Frontier, ICON recommends pairing the ICO86533 rear shock with the ICO82000 front coilover kit, which is engineered for the same platform and provides 1 to 3 inches of front lift.
Is the ICO86533 rebuildable?Yes. Like all ICON shock absorbers, the ICO86533 is 100% rebuildable and re-tunable through ICON's authorized service network. It is covered by ICON's 5-year limited warranty from the date of purchase against defects in materials and workmanship.
Does the ICO86533 require any additional hardware for installation?The ICO86533 includes polyurethane bushings and zinc-plated sleeves for OE-style fitment. No cutting or welding is required. Standard hand tools and a vehicle lift or jack stands are recommended for safe installation.
Installation Overview
- Safely lift and support the rear of the vehicle on jack stands. Support the rear axle to prevent drop.
- Remove the rear wheel for improved access to the shock mounting hardware.
- Remove the upper shock mounting hardware. Then remove the lower shock mounting bolt and extract the factory shock.
- Install the ICO86533 in the upper shock mount location. Thread upper hardware by hand first.
- Seat the lower shock end in the lower mount. Install and torque all hardware to OEM specification.
- Reinstall the rear wheel and lower the vehicle.
- Repeat for the opposite side. Perform a post-installation inspection before driving.
