2026 Mid-Year New Product Recap: New Suspension, Coilovers & Tie Rods

ICON's product development team has been busy. Over the first half of 2026, we released dozens of new SKUs across our suspension, steering, and component lines for Toyota, RAM, Chevy, and GMC trucks. If you missed any of the announcements the first time around, here's a full recap - with links to the product pages, price and spec sheets, and image downloads for each. What's new from ICON in H1 2026 - at a glance: 2025 Toyota 4Runner 2WD: new 2.5 VS coilovers, shocks, and 14 stages of complete suspension systems 2025-26 RAM 1500 RHO: Billet Upper Control Arms, Rear Hydraulic Bumpstop Kit, Front Coilover Spacer Kit 2020-26 GM 2500/3500: 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 VS shock systems across 9 build stages 2011-25 Chevy-GMC 2500/3500: XD Forged Tie Rods with 27x the buckling strength of stock 2005-23 Toyota Tacoma: new CDXS dual-speed compression damping shocks and coilovers 2010-24 4Runner & 2010-14 FJ Cruiser: XD Forged Tie Rods built for big tires and hard terrain ICON 2.5 VS Suspension for the 2025 Toyota 4Runner 2WD 2025 Toyota 4Runner 2WD on ICON 2.5 VS suspension ICON now offers a full line of performance suspension components and complete systems built specifically for the 2025 Toyota 4Runner 2WD. At the core of the lineup are ICON's proven 2.5 VS coilovers and shocks, delivering 1.25 to 3 inches of lift and the same on- and off-road performance ICON is known for. Because these 2WD-specific front coilovers aren't constrained by front CV axle operating angles, they provide more front suspension travel than their 4WD counterparts. The lineup also includes 14 stages of ICON Complete Suspension Systems, combining billet or tubular upper control arms and suspension links with a range of shock and coilover performance levels. View the NPA here! >   ICON Upper Control Arms & Rear Bump Stop Kits for the 2025-26 RAM 1500 RHO 2025-26 RAM 1500 RHO The RAM TRX and RHO come from the factory with seriously capable suspension and drivetrain systems, but ICON found a few areas where these trucks can still be improved. ICON Billet Upper Control Arms add on-vehicle adjustability to dial in alignment after a lift or suspension change, and pair with the high-angle, serviceable, rebuildable, patented Delta Joint Pro. The Rear Hydraulic Bumpstop Kit smooths out suspension bottoming under hard use, and the Front Coilover Spacer Kit lifts and levels the truck for a more aggressive stance and better tire fitment. Together, these components help TRX and RHO owners get even more out of an already capable truck.

SHOP NOW >   ICON XD Forged Tie Rods for 2011-25 Chevy-GMC 2500/3500 Trucks ICON XD Forged Tie Rods for Chevy-GMC 2500/3500   ICON suspension upgrades let owners of 2011-2026 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD/3500 HD and GMC Sierra 2500 HD/3500 HD trucks push the limits with longer travel, bigger tires, and higher speeds on tougher terrain -- but that kind of use can stress factory tie rods beyond what they're built for. ICON's new XD Forged Tie Rods solve that with better materials and beefier dimensions, delivering 27 times the buckling strength of the stock units. The inner tie rod and ball stud are CNC machined from 4140 chromoly at 130% the diameter of stock, paired with a 35mm metal-on-metal inner ball stud for maximum rigidity. The forged steel outer tie rod steps up to a 32mm metal-on-metal joint that's greaseable for extended service life, while keeping the same operating angle range as the stock tie rod ends. For the most hardcore off-roaders, the ICON XD Forged Tie Rod kit is recommended as part of a full steering system upgrade.   SHOP NOW >   ICON CDXS Coilovers & Systems for the 2005-23 Toyota Tacoma ICON CDXS shocks and coilovers for 2005-23 Toyota Tacoma   ICON Vehicle Dynamics has introduced CDXS -- Compression Damping Dual Speed -- shocks, coilovers, and a complete suspension system for the 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma (Gen 2 & Gen 3).

ICON Alloys Hammer PRO Review: Off-Road Performance Meets Street-Legal Engineering

The Hammer PRO from ICON Alloys delivers a rare combination: a street-legal, DOT-compliant off-road wheel engineered to withstand the most punishing trail conditions — without sacrificing the style to turn heads on the pavement. Whether you're a weekend warrior who spends Saturday on the rocks and Sunday cruising downtown, or a serious overlander who needs gear that performs at both extremes, the Hammer PRO deserves a serious look. What Is the ICON Alloys Hammer PRO? The Hammer PRO is ICON Alloys' flagship off-road wheel, purpose-built for 4x4 trucks and SUVs that do double duty on and off the highway. It combines two of ICON's most advanced proprietary technologies — the InnerLock™ bead retention system and the HALO™ Wheel Armor system — inside a high-strength aluminum alloy wheel with a bold Slot & Spoke design. With a 3,650 lb load rating, DOT compliance, and a construction engineered specifically for rock crawling and trail use, the Hammer PRO is one of the most technically capable off-road wheels currently on the market. SHOP the Hammer Pro Collection Key Technologies: What Makes Hammer PRO Different? InnerLock™ Bead Retention System (U.S. Patent No. 11,090,976) One of the most common problems in serious off-road driving is tire de-beading — when a tire running at low pressure separates from the wheel rim during hard rock crawling or aggressive trail use. Most solutions to this problem are aftermarket workarounds. ICON's InnerLock™ system is engineered directly into the wheel. How InnerLock™ works: A series of high-strength alloy pins is inserted through a reinforced section of the wheel, forming a physical barrier — a "fence" — that prevents the tire bead from being pushed off the inner lip of the wheel, even at extremely low tire pressures. Why it matters: Enables ultra-low tire pressure crawling for maximum traction on rocks and loose terrain Fully DOT compliant and legal for on-highway use — no need to swap wheels for street driving Passed the FMVSS No. 139 Tire Bead Unseat Resistance Test (modified to 10 psi), exceeding the machine's mechanical limits at over 7,600 lbs of load without ever de-beading the tire Retention pins are removable, reusable, and replaceable Pins use a SAE J1926 O-ring seal and are thermochemically treated for extreme corrosion resistance No other production off-road wheel combines DOT street compliance with this level of bead retention capability. HALO™ Wheel Armor System Rock rash is inevitable in off-road use — and it typically means expensive damage to the wheel lip. The HALO™ system is ICON's answer to that problem. How HALO™ works: The wheel lip is protected by segmented armor panels crafted from high-grade aluminum. Because the armor is divided into quarters, only the damaged segment needs to be replaced — not the entire armor ring, and not the wheel itself. Key advantages of HALO™: Segments can be installed or replaced without dismounting the tire from the wheel, saving significant time and labor Ships pre-installed on the Hammer PRO in a clean satin black finish Also available in Raw Aluminum, which can be painted or coated to match any custom color scheme Dramatically extends the life of the wheel by protecting its most vulnerable area Hammer PRO Specs & Fitment Spec Detail Size 17 x 8.5" Lug Patterns 5-lug and 6-lug Backspace Options Multiple, to fit most current production 4x4s Load Rating 3,650 lbs Construction Aluminum alloy DOT Compliance Yes Bead Retention Patented InnerLock™ Wheel Armor HALO™ (included, satin black) Tire Compatibility Wide variety; no shims or special tools required The 17x8.5" size with multiple backspace options means the Hammer PRO fits the vast majority of current-production 4x4 trucks and SUVs right out of the box. Hammer PRO Design: Built for the Trail, Styled for the Street The Hammer PRO's Slot & Spoke design is a deliberate blend of retro-inspired aesthetics and modern engineering. The spoke geometry isn't just about looks — it's engineered to maximize structural strength while keeping weight in check. The result is a wheel that looks equally at home on a lifted truck at a trailhead or parked outside a restaurant on a Friday night. That dual-purpose appeal is exactly what the "weekend warrior" market demands, and Hammer PRO delivers it without compromise. Complete Feature List ✅ DOT compliant — engineered for full on-highway legality ✅ 3,650 lb load rating for extreme off-road durability ✅ Patented InnerLock™ bead retention (U.S. Patent No. 11,090,976) ✅ Alloy bead retention pins — removable, reusable, replaceable ✅ SAE J1926 O-ring sealed, thermochemically treated pins for corrosion resistance ✅ HALO™ Wheel Armor — high-grade aluminum, segmented, replaceable without tire removal ✅ Application-specific dimensions optimized for vehicle dynamics and tire clearance ✅ Compatible with a wide variety of tires — no shims or special tools needed ✅ Strategically placed hardware for maximum protection from trail damage ✅ Aluminum alloy construction for excellent strength-to-weight ratio Who Is the Hammer PRO For? The Hammer PRO is ideal for: Weekend warriors who need one set of wheels that handles trails on Saturday and highways on Sunday Rock crawlers who run aggressive tire pressures and need proven bead retention Overlanders who prioritize durable, low-maintenance gear built for real-world use Truck and SUV owners who want premium off-road capability without giving up street style If you're tired of choosing between performance and legality — or between function and looks — the Hammer PRO eliminates that compromise entirely. SHOP the Hammer Pro Collection Frequently Asked Questions About the ICON Alloys Hammer PRO Is the Hammer PRO street legal? Yes. The Hammer PRO is fully DOT-compliant and engineered to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for on-highway use. The InnerLock™ system passed the FMVSS No. 139 Tire Bead Unseat Resistance Test. What is the InnerLock™ bead retention system? InnerLock™ is ICON's patented system (U.S. Patent No. 11,090,976) that uses high-strength alloy pins inserted into the wheel to physically prevent the tire bead from unseating, even at very low tire pressures during off-road use. Can I replace the HALO wheel armor if it gets damaged? Yes. The HALO system uses segmented armor panels divided into quarters. Individual segments can be replaced without dismounting the tire from the wheel. Replacement segments are available in both satin black and raw aluminum finishes. What size is the Hammer PRO available in? The Hammer PRO is currently available in 17x8.5" with 5-lug and 6-lug patterns and multiple backspace options to fit most current-production 4x4 trucks and SUVs. What is the load rating of the Hammer PRO? The Hammer PRO carries a 3,650 lb load rating. Do I need special tools to mount tires on the Hammer PRO? No. The Hammer PRO is compatible with a wide variety of tires and requires no shims or special tools for installation. Where to Buy the ICON Alloys Hammer PRO Ready to upgrade your 4x4? The Hammer PRO is available through authorized ICON dealers. For complete product information, fitment details, and ordering, contact ICON at 951-689-4266 or visit the ICON Alloys website.
