ICON Vehicle Specific (V.S.) 2.5 Aluminum Series shocks with CDEV are designed and built to give your vehicle outstanding performance off-road and a smooth ride on the street. These shocks are configured specifically for each application in both length and damping tune. For piggyback and specific remote reservoir applications, ICON'S unique use of a 6061-billet aluminum manifold a few inches below the top cap of the shock creates an internal Bump Zone that when used creates an additional 20% of damping force. This additional force helps prevent harsh bottom outs and controls the suspension when compressing at high velocity. Like all ICON'S Shock Absorbers, V.S. 2.5 Aluminum Series shocks with CDEV are fully rebuildable and re-tunable. The ICON CDE Valve upgrade is included for those desiring an easy way to tune the ride electronically from inside the vehicle.

Compression Damping Electronic Valve (CDEV) is an electronically controlled valve that meters the flow of oil to regulate the amount of damping force that is created by the shock when compressed. This infinitely variable valve can react in less than 40ms and has the ability to make extremely precise adjustments for varying terrain. CDEV’s hydraulic circuits are also custom tailored per application to create the highest resolution and dynamic range allowable for each specific vehicle. Powered by ICON Intelligent Control and proprietary ICON mobile app, the system uses information from the onboard G-force sensor and Gyroscope to perform calculations based on algorithms and user-defined settings to predict terrain and adjust shock settings via the CDEV accordingly.

  • ICON's CDE Valve technology allows for in vehicle adjustment of compression damping settings and active adjustment via the ICON Intelligent Control (IIC)
  • ICON’s internal “Bump Zone” increases damping by 20% to provide more control as the shock approaches full compression
  • One-piece, hard anodized, impact extruded aluminum cylinders offer excellent corrosion resistance and consistent finish
  • Remote reservoir design improves heat dissipation to reduce shock fade during prolonged use
  • Premium grade 5WT shock oil for consistent suspension damping along a wide temperature range
  • One-piece digressive piston design with vehicle specific valving for unsurpassed performance and ride quality on and off-road
  • 7/8” diameter induction hardened, chrome plated shock shaft
  • PTFE lined spherical bearings and application specific mounting hardware
  • 6061 aircraft grade aluminum CNC machined components
  • Fully rebuildable and re-tunable

ICON Intelligent Control (IIC) is the computer that monitors, analyzes, and processes data in real-time. Information from the onboard G-force sensor and Gyroscope perform calculations based on algorithms and user-defined settings to predict terrain and wheel position. IIC has the capability to collect information at over 1000 times per second, process the data and make adjustments, then deliver those changes to Compression Damping Electronic Valve (CDEV) in the shock absorbers in under 40 milliseconds. IIC also works as a data driver to connect the user to ICON’s proprietary mobile App interface for monitoring and adjusting shock settings. The IIC is mounted to the 2014-UP RAM 2500 using application specific mounting brackets, hardware and wire harnesses, ensuring an easy and clean looking install.

The IIC App brings all of this technology together by offering a user-friendly interface to monitor, record, and adjust the system’s performance via Bluetooth connection. Users can easily alter the shocks’ baseline settings for firmness, as well as adjust the sensitivity of vertical “G-Boost” and lateral “Corner Boost” with a few simple taps from their favorite iOS device. The App includes several preconfigured ‘Drive Modes’ (Normal, Desert, and Haul) but also offers the ability for users to create an unlimited number of unique presets using their own custom settings. To top it all off, you can record data from your trip including time, speed, distance and G-Forces for your very own ICONIC Overview.

  • Offers selectable active shock damping adjustment as well as manual adjustment of baseline settings without exiting vehicle
  • Onboard sensors monitor G-forces and movement of vehicle chassis
  • Performs calculations based on sensor inputs, custom algorithms, and user defined settings at a rate of over 1000 times per second
  •  Sends necessary damping adjustments to CDEV shocks that react in under 40 milliseconds
  • User interface provided by IIC Mobile App via Bluetooth connection to iOS device
  • Mobile app offers preconfigured “Drive Modes” as well as the ability to create custom presets
  • Also functions as a data logger for time, speed, distance, and G-force allowing you to record data from your trips
  • Application specific mounting brackets, hardware and wire harnesses
