New ICON 3.0 VS Shocks & Ford Super Duty Coilover Conversion Kits (2005-2026 F250/F350)
ICON has expanded its lineup with a new Ford Super Duty coilover conversion kit and matching 3.0 VS shock line, built for 2005-2026 Ford F-250 and F-350 4WD trucks. The kits pair a larger, higher-volume shock body with ICON's manual (CDCV) or electronic (CDEV) adjustable damping valves, giving Super Duty owners a factory-style bolt-in upgrade with real-world gains in control, heat management, and ride-height flexibility.
In short: bigger shocks, more adjustability, and a bolt-in coilover conversion designed specifically for the Super Duty platform.
What Is a Ford Super Duty Coilover Conversion Kit?
A coilover conversion kit replaces a truck's factory front strut or shock/spring setup with a coilover assembly that bolts into the OE coil bucket location. On the Ford Super Duty, this lets owners add a remote-reservoir shock, increase damping capacity, and set ride height independently of the stock suspension geometry — without cutting or fabricating brackets.
What's New: ICON 3.0 VS Shocks
ICON's 3.0 VS shocks step up from the 2.5 Series with a larger piston and valve stack, delivering roughly 50% more piston surface area and more available damping force. The larger 3.0" body also holds more oil and exposes more external surface area, which improves heat dissipation and resists shock fade during hard off-road driving, towing, or extended high-speed use. Like all ICON shocks, the 3.0 VS line is 100% rebuildable and revalveable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between ICON 2.5 and 3.0 series shocks?
ICON 3.0 VS shocks use a larger-diameter body with 50% more piston surface area than 2.5 Series shocks. That translates to greater damping force, more internal oil volume, and better heat dissipation, so the shocks resist fade during hard off-road use or extended towing.
What is CDCV?
CDCV (Compression Damping Control Valve) is ICON's manually adjustable valve. It gives 10 clicks of compression damping adjustment via a knob on the shock, so drivers can dial in ride quality for street, trail, or high-speed desert use.
What is CDEV?
CDEV (Compression Damping Electronic Valve) is ICON's electronically controlled valve, paired with ICON Intelligent Control. It adjusts damping in real time using onboard G-force and gyroscope sensors, reacting in under 40ms as terrain and speed change, and can also be adjusted manually from the ICON app.
Will these kits fit my Ford F-250 or F-350?
The 3.0 VS shocks and coilover conversion kits are vehicle-specific for 4WD Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks. CDCV parts cover 2005-2026 model years; CDEV parts cover 2017-2026 model years. Check the part number fitment listed with each kit before ordering.
How much lift do the coilover conversion kits provide?
The front coilover conversion kits are ride-height adjustable. The 61800-series kits provide roughly 2.5-3.75" of lift and the 61801-series kits provide roughly 4-6.25", depending on model year. Exact range varies by truck.
Are ICON 3.0 VS shocks rebuildable?
Yes. Every ICON 3.0 VS shock and coilover is 100% rebuildable and revalveable, with Cerakoted steel cylinders and 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum components built for long service life.
