NEW PRODUCT | 2.5 EXP Front Coilover Shocks & Suspension Systems for 05-22 Toyota Tacoma

ICON Vehicle Dynamics is excited to announce 2.5 EXP Series Front Coilover Shocks along with EXP-equipped Stages 1 through 3 Suspension Systems for 2005 through 2022* Toyota Tacoma.

*Fits 2005-2015 4WD or 2WD PreRunner models (6 Lug). Will NOT fit 2005-2015 standard 2WD models (5 Lug). Fits 2WD/4WD 16-Up models excluding "TRD Pro” and “Trail” sub-models.

 

EXP Series combines the performance of a 2.5-inch diameter premium shock absorber with built-in lift height of 0 to 2 inches and the convenience and cost-benefits of re-using the Tacoma's factory coil spring. Like all ICON shocks, EXP is fully rebuildable for an extended service life. EXP bridges the gap between spacer lifts and threaded bodied coilovers, providing suspension lift, custom-tuned performance and maximum travel, all in an economical package.

 

 

In addition to the 2.5 EXP Shocks for 05-22 Tacoma, ICON is also introducing Stages 1 to 3 of our EXP Suspension Systems for 05-22 Tacoma. ICON's famous "Stage" suspension systems assist 4X4 owners in selecting and configuring the perfect suspension system to meet their expectations and budget.

05-22 TACOMA 2.5 EXP FRONT COILOVER SHOCK

 

EXP Series is based on ICON’s proven 2.5-inch diameter Aluminum Series shock absorber, featuring a one-piece impact-extruded aluminum shock body. Hard anodizing provides a great-looking, consistent finish with superior resistance to abrasion and corrosion. The massive 7/8-inch diameter shaft is induction hardened and chrome plated. 05-UP Tacoma EXP shocks mount in a shaft-up orientation and include the upper shock mount and spring seat.

The 6061-billet aluminum coil spring seat is CNC machined to fit the Tacoma's OE coil springs. A series of snap-ring grooves machined into the shock body provide easily-selectable front-end ride height adjustment from 0" to 2” of lift over stock.

EXP Series shocks utilize a one-piece digressive piston design and are custom tuned for the Tacoma in conjunction with their stock front coil springs to maximize damping performance and provide unsurpassed ride quality, on and off-road. The increased piston size and shock oil volume provided by the 2.5-inch diameter aluminum body also provide superior heat dissipation compared to the smaller, steel bodied OE shocks, resulting in longer-lasting shock performance over prolonged use at higher speeds and through rougher terrain. For those who would like to further tune their suspension, EXP shocks are fully re-valvable (and rebuildable) by any qualified shock technician, with parts available from ICON.

KEY FEATURES:

  • Vehicle specific design for 2005-UP Toyota Tacoma*
  • Vehicle specific tuned for superior shock damping and control
  • 2.5 Aluminum Series Shock with Internal Reservoir

05-UP TACOMA EXP SUSPENSION SYSTEMS

05-UP TACOMA STAGE 1 EXP SUSPENSION SYSTEM

Our Stage 1 EXP system bundles a pair of 2.5 EXP Front Coilover Shocks and a pair of our 2.0 VS Series rear shocks to provide improved damping performance at either stock height or 2" of front lift (does not lift rear). A sway bar relocation kit is included to maintain proper sway bar clearance with the larger 2.5 EXP shock body.

 

K53220   05-22 TACOMA 0-2" STAGE 1 EXP SUSPENSION SYSTEM

05-UP TACOMA STAGE 2 EXP SUSPENSION SYSTEM

Stage 2 EXP includes everything from Stage 1 and adds ICON's rear leaf spring pack expansion kit to add lift and performance to rear while using the selectable 2" height for the front EXP's.

 

K53221   05-22 TACOMA 0-2" STAGE 2 EXP SUSPENSION SYSTEM

05-UP TACOMA STAGE 3 EXP SUSPENSION SYSTEMS

Stage 3 EXP builds on Stage 2 by adding billet or tubular front Upper Control Arms to correct suspension geometry at the EXP's upper lift height. Stage 3 also adds remote reservoirs to the 2.0 VS rear shocks for increased shock oil volume and heat dissipation, providing improved performance at higher speeds and more aggressive suspension cycling.
