NEW PRODUCT | 2017-UP FORD F150 RAPTOR SUSPENSION SYSTEMS

ICON Vehicle Dynamics is excited to announce our new Raptor Damper Interface Module, as well as several related product updates that address changes made for the GEN.2 Ford Raptor. The 2019 model year features new technology that ties the OE shocks into the vehicle’s computer, so ICON’s R&D department went above and beyond to make sure the updated truck was properly analyzed. With the introduction of this technology, ICON engineers were now focused not only on the research of the suspension components on the Raptor, but the hardware attached to it all as well. This required a thorough exploration of the electrical systems featured on the new models’ suspension to understand the areas which ICON could improve upon the OE components. By working around the factory suspension of these newer, “smarter” Raptors, ICON has developed several new parts that allow for a proper install of ICON products to provide the end-user improved ride quality, off-road performance, and the ability to tune the shocks themselves as opposed to being stuck with the stock ride modes. 2019-UP RAPTOR DAMPER INTERFACE MODULE The 2019-UP Ford Raptor is very much the same as its 2017 and 2018 counterparts, however new components and new technology prevent end-users from swapping the OE shock absorbers with aftermarket units such as ICON’s 3.0 Series coilover and bypass in typical fashion. In order to prevent the newer model Raptors from going into an instant suspension “limp mode”, ICON has worked to develop our Damper Interface Module that is a direct plug & play to the factory vehicle dynamics module. After the Damper Interface Module is installed, ICON Vehicle Dynamics shocks can be bolted up in place of the OE units, and the truck will retain full function of its terrain modes while providing the ICON performance and adjustability that has become well known in the Ford Raptor community. Allows for install of ICON shock absorbers on 2019-UP Ford Raptor Eliminates factory-dictated “ride modes” that are ill-tuned for extreme off-road use Prevents truck from entering limp mode that will occur when OE shocks are removed Direct plug & play to factory vehicle dynamics module 3.0 SERIES COILOVERS & BYPASS SHOCKS The vehicle-specific valving and high quality components featured in ICON’s 3.0 Series shocks work together to provide exceptional on-road ride quality with excellent off-road characteristics. ICON’s multi-stage hydraulic “Bump Zone” adds to the performance capability by providing an exponential increase in damping ability during the last 40% of compression travel for superior bottom-out resistance. In the ride zone, these 3.0 Series coilovers see a 50% increase in damping ability with the use of a significantly larger piston than what is found in the factory shocks. 10” finned aluminum reservoirs provide a generous amount of shock oil while also providing an increase in surface area (over 200%) for enhanced cooling and consistent damping. The addition of ICON’s CDC Valve technology provides 10 settings of damping adjustment allowing the end-user to adjust the “feel” of the shocks for different terrains and vehicle cargo configurations. By way of an offset upper eyelet ICON engineers laid out a 3.0 Series bypass shock that maximized travel while utilizing the factory shock mounts. To control the rear end in specific ranges of travel, these shocks feature 3 unique bypass zones – 2 on the compression stroke and one rebound. Unlike other shocks that have a loud bypass “click” when functioning, ICON bypass valves feature damped valve stops for quiet and precise operation. Easy-to-adjust knobs allow for quick changes to shock tuning without the need for tools, enabling the user to dial in their ride with minimal down time. When in use on and off-road, ICON’s patented Anti-Wobble Link stabilizes the shocks to prevent rotation and possible collision. Additionally, urethane shin guards protect the shock shafts and rod ends under grueling off-road conditions. Height-adjustable coilovers provide a range of 0-3.5” of front lift height Increased lift height allows for fitment of larger and more aggressive tires ICON shocks feature vehicle specific tune for superior performance and ride quality Up to 35% increase in front wheel travel over stock FK Rod End bearings provide extended longevity and minimal deflection Shocks are fully rebuildable and revalvable 2017-UP BILLET UPPER CONTROL ARM KIT ICON’s billet aluminum upper control arms are designed with built-in caster correction for predictable handling and feature on-vehicle camber/caster adjustment for precise vehicle alignment. These upper control arms include ICON’s patent pending Delta Joint. The Delta Joint is a heavy duty high angle ball joint that combines the durability of a ball joint with the performance characteristics of a traditional uniball. The Delta Joint features a zinc plated housing providing the first layer of corrosion resistance, while a tough grease seal keeps potentially harmful elements out of the inner workings of the joint. Metal on metal construction and a greasable design increase the longevity of the Delta Joint while at the same time allowing for noise-free operation. What makes the Delta Joint unique is that it brings the best of both worlds to ICON upper control arms with features that make it more robust than a uniball, and at the same time capable of greater angularity than a typical ball joint. ICON upper control arms allow for additional wheel travel while improving suspension geometry for predictable handling Patent pending Delta Joint combines the durability and weather resistance of a ball joint with the performance characteristics of a uniball Delta Joint upper control arms carry ICON’s exclusive 5 year limited warranty CNC machined 6061 billet aluminum upper control arms allow for on-vehicle camber and caster adjustment Direct bolt-in design makes for a simple and straightforward installation 2017-UP RAPTOR .5-2.25″ ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT COLLAR The ICON Attitude Adjustment Collar (AAC) is a patent pending multi-height coil spring collar that works in conjunction with a top load shim that can be configured in five unique ways to yield .5” to 2.25” of front lift height over stock. Installation of this leveling system requires no disassembly of the shock, making it a simple and straightforward process as opposed to other options currently available. CNC machined 6061 billet aluminum construction and a black anodized finish mean this product can stand up to the test of time in the harshest on and off-road conditions. Features mounting holes for 2019-UP specific harnesses Multi-height design can yield 0.5” to 2.25” of front lift height Does not require disassembly of the shock for installation CNC machined 6061 billet aluminum construction Black anodized finish for corrosion resistance and great looks Keeps OE shock in the ride zone, maintaining factory ride quality Lifetime guarantee against component breakage or manufacturer defect FORD RAPTOR IMPACT SERIES OFF-ROAD ARMOR ICON Impact Series Off-Road Armor is designed for the enthusiast seeking a higher level of performance and protection while retaining OE styling cues and body lines. Staying true to ICON’s holistic engineering approach, Impact Series Armor has been thoroughly tested through countless hours of research and development to ensure precise fitment, proper clearance, exceptional durability, and maximum strength. The Impact Series system utilizes a modular design, allowing the owner to customize the look and functionality of the bumper to perfectly match their style. The “wings” on either side can be removed and three-inch square pod lights, like those available from KC HiLiTES, Baja Designs or other similarly sized lights, can be added while the center section of the bumper is designed to accommodate a 40-inch curved light bar. While this bumper can be installed using the existing factory skid plate, it can be upgraded with the addition of the Impact Series skid plate to provide increased underbody protection. Additionally, the center section of the bumper retains the brackets used for the radar and adaptive cruise control, allowing owners to maintain full functionality of those systems.

NEW PRODUCT: 2017-UP FORD F150 RAPTOR HYDRAULIC REAR BUMP STOP KIT

ICON Vehicle Dynamics is proud to announce the release of the Hydraulic Rear Bump Stop Kit for the 2017-UP Ford F150 Raptor. After hundreds of hours of R&D and thousands of miles of real world on and off-road testing, ICON engineers have developed products that provide a true performance upgrade over the factory components found on the new and improved Raptor. The “Gen 2” Raptor is faster, lighter, and smarter than its older brother – suspension mounting locations have changed, a significant amount of weight was trimmed off of the truck, and new technology has been introduced both on the side of safety and performance. While lessons learned in the development of “Gen 1” Raptor product were kept near, ICON’s engineering team approached the task of developing this bump stop kit for the 2017-UP Ford Raptor as if it was an entirely new vehicle. The function of the bump stop is to control and limit the final position of the suspension during up-travel. The factory bump stops have a limited energy absorption capacity and an uncontrolled release of this energy upon rebound – translating into a harsh ride and poor handling during more aggressive driving in rough terrain. ICON’s Gen 2 Raptor Hydraulic Rear Bump Stop Kit absorbs and releases this energy in a much more controlled manner which reduces rear end ‘kick’ to provide confidence inspiring performance. The ICON Raptor Bump Stop Kit includes heavy duty steel clamshell brackets, a billet aluminum frame crossmember, adjustable tension rods, hydraulic bump stops, and all of the necessary hardware required to complete the installation. The clamshell brackets, crossmember, and tension rods add strength to the frame to prevent damage during extreme off-road use while increasing chassis rigidity for predictable handling and improved vehicle dynamics. The 2.5” travel hydraulic bump stops feature velocity sensitive technology which means that as the shaft speed increases the damping ability ramps up, resulting in exponential bottoming resistance that won’t negatively affect articulation. Combining all of these components into an easy to install, bolt-on package, ICON has developed the most comprehensive rear bump stop solution on the market for Raptor owners seeking the next level of strength and performance. ICON Vehicle Dynamics products are proudly designed, manufactured, and assembled in Riverside, California by a team of passionate off-road enthusiasts. With a reputation for quality, performance, and service it’s clear that ICON Vehicle Dynamics is the top choice for performance suspension systems and shock absorbers for the 2017-UP Ford F150 Raptor. Key Features Bolt-on installation does not require any fabrication or removal of the bed 2.5” travel hydraulic bump stop reduces rear end ‘kick’ and improves overall vehicle performance Velocity sensitive technology exponentially increases bottom-out resistance Vehicle specific bump stop tune provides smooth engagement and excellent ride quality 6061 billet aluminum crossmember increases chassis rigidity to improve overall vehicle dynamics Steel clamshell brackets strengthen the frame in critical areas to prevent damage from extreme off-road use Adjustable tension rods allow the frame to be preloaded to withstand torsional force during hard impacts Heavy duty 1.25” CNC machined nitro steel shafts Multi-stage CAD plated body for maximum corrosion resistance Replaceable noise-reducing striker pad Fully serviceable "ICON 1K" tested under rigorous off-road conditions to validate tune, performance, strength, and durability Tech Info Compatible with factory shocks Does not require modification of factory exhaust system Removal of the bed is not required for installation Factory nitrogen charge – 150 PSI (Tunable range 50-250 PSI)

NEW PRODUCT: 2007-2017 TOYOTA TUNDRA RXT REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM

The 2007-2017 Toyota Tundra is a very capable and versatile truck with features that make it suitable for use as everything from daily driver, to tow rig, to adventure vehicle and everything in between. From the brutal deserts of the Southwest to the wooded trails of the East coast, ICON suspension systems have been put to the test and performed flawlessly for this popular Toyota. Over the span of hundreds of hours in the shop and over a thousand miles in the dirt, ICON Vehicle Dynamics’ engineers have pushed this vehicle to extremes in order to develop the most sophisticated suspension components on the market. Unable to leave “well-enough” alone, ICON is aiming to raise the bar in Tundra performance with the introduction of the RXT Rear Suspension System. ICON1K R&D Testing Through an accelerated testing process dubbed the “ICON1K” R&D program, ICON has spent over a year pushing the Tundra to off-road extremes to identify limiting factors in OE components and further extrapolate performance out of this vehicle. In a push to provide unparalleled ride quality and vehicle dynamics for everything from high-speed desert running to off the grid expedition, the RXT Rear Suspension System was born. The RXT Rear Suspension System is a combination of an all-new ICON multi-rate leaf spring, a hydraulic rear bump stop kit, and three RXT-specific 2.5 Series rear shock options. Installation of this system replaces the aforementioned “limiting factors” and completely redefines the potential of the 2007-2017 Toyota Tundra with a 20% increase in wheel travel and the ability to adjust the leaf spring rate to compensate for varying vehicle setups. ICON RXT Multi-Rate Leaf Spring The backbone of the Tundra RXT Rear Suspension System is a user-adjustable multi-rate leaf pack that offers a major performance gain for almost every accessory & gear setup imaginable. Features like tip inserts and leaf separators reduce friction and increase ride comfort, while a military wrapped front eyelet improves the durability and strength of the leaf spring. To increase the ride quality of the truck and gain additional droop travel, the spring rate has been lowered slightly. While many Tundra owners will embrace this, there are those who have outfitted their trucks with a significant amount of weight in the form of a bed rack, rooftop tent, spare tires, parts, or other additions. Taking this into consideration, the leaf pack was designed with an additional leaf (included with kit) that can be exchanged or added to the pack yielding an additional 15% or 25% in spring rate that will handle more “outfitted” vehicles. ICON RXT Rear Shocks To complement the RXT Multi-Rate Leaf Spring, three new ICON shock options have been developed to control the suspension throughout this new range of travel. These include a 2.5 Series remote reservoir shock, a 2.5 Series CDC Valve shock, and a two-tube Omega bypass option – each of which provides unique levels of performance to the rear end of the Tundra. The increase in wheel travel was answered with a unique side-mount eyelet approach that allowed ICON engineers to develop a shock that is shorter in collapsed length, longer at extension, and still fits in the factory mounting location. A large ten-inch remote reservoir was added to aid in heat dissipation and resist shock fade during spirited driving. ICON Hydraulic Rear Bump Stop Kit The job of the bump stop is to control and limit the final position of the suspension during up-travel. The factory rubber bump stops have a limited energy absorption capacity and an uncontrolled release of this energy upon rebound – translating into a harsh ride and poor handling during more aggressive driving in rough terrain. ICON’s Tundra Rear Bump Stop Kit absorbs and releases this energy in a much more controlled manner resulting in predictable handling and vehicle dynamics. Like all ICON hydraulic bump stops, these feature velocity sensitive technology which means that as the shaft speed increases the damping ability ramps up to provide excellent bottoming resistance that won’t negatively affect articulation. Key Features ICON RXT Multi-Rate Leaf Spring 3 user-adjustable spring rates for unique vehicle configurations Military wrap front eyelet for increased durability Galvanized leaf separators reduce friction and aid in corrosion resistance Leaf tip inserts reduce noise and increase ride comfort Potential for increased wheel travel when used with RXT shock (up to 20%) without sacrificing up-travel Direct bolt-in to OEM spring location makes for an easy install “ICON 1K” tested under rigorous off-road conditions to validate tune, performance, strength, and durability ICON RXT Rear Shocks Unique side-mounted lower eyelet allows for increased travel while utilizing factory mounting location Vehicle-specific tuned shocks provide increased damping and oil volume CDC Valve technology allows for 10 settings of quick and easy compression damping adjustment Omega Series two-tube bypass allows for 24 settings of compression and rebound damping adjustment Easy-to-adjust detented knobs offer quick adjustability without the use of tools 10” aluminum reservoirs provide generous oil and nitrogen volume for consistent damping as shock temperature increases CAD plated body for maximum corrosion resistance Shocks are fully rebuildable and revalveable Simple and straightforward installation “ICON 1K” tested under rigorous off-road conditions to validate tune, performance, strength, and durability ICON Hydraulic Rear Bump Stop Kit 2.5” travel bump stop reduces rear end ‘kick’ and improves overall performance Position sensitive technology exponentially increases bottom-out resistance Vehicle specific bump stop tune to provide smooth engagement and best ride quality Direct bolt-in to OEM bump stop location makes for an easy and straightforward install Heavy duty 1.25” CNC machined nitro steel shaft CAD plated body for maximum corrosion resistance Double sealed high pressure Schrader valve Operating range of 50-250 PSI Replaceable noise-reducing striker pad Fully serviceable “ICON 1K” tested under rigorous off-road conditions to validate tune, performance, strength, and durability

NEW PRODUCT: 2005-UP TOYOTA TACOMA RXT REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM

The 2005-UP Toyota Tacoma is an extremely reliable truck that has served as a versatile platform for drivers seeking the ultimate off-road adventure. From the brutal deserts of the Southwest, to the slickrock of Moab, to the wooded trails of the East coast ICON suspension systems have been put to the test and performed flawlessly for this popular Toyota. ICON Vehicle Dynamics’ engineers have pushed this vehicle to extremes in order to develop the most sophisticated suspension components on the market.
