Anodized Aluminum Body
Internal or Remote Reservoir
Quiet and Corrosion Resistant
Features
- Anodized Aluminum Body: The shock body and reservoir tubes are anodized 6063 aluminum, which sheds heat well and holds up against corrosion. The rod end, top cap and internal parts are machined 6061 aluminum.
- Valving for Your Vehicle: A one-piece linear/digressive piston carries valving chosen for the vehicle and its lift range, so the body stays settled on pavement while bumps on the trail get soaked up.
- Internal or Remote Reservoir: Internal reservoir versions keep the nitrogen charge inside the shock body. Remote reservoir versions move extra oil into a separate canister on a hose, adding cooling that helps hold off fade on long rough runs.
- Fits the Factory Mounts: Polyurethane bushings, zinc-plated sleeves and forged steel mounting stems let each shock go into the vehicle's original shock mounts.
- Quiet and Corrosion Resistant: The hardened steel shaft is chrome plated to resist pitting and rust, and a nitrile rubber top-out bumper keeps things quiet when the suspension reaches full extension.
- Rebuildable and Revalveable: Every 2.0 Series shock can be fully serviced. It can be rebuilt when it wears, or revalved if the load or the way the vehicle is used changes.
Description & Fitment
These are ICON's universal 2.0 Aluminum Series shocks, sold without a vehicle application for custom builds. The 4 part numbers differ by position, reservoir, valving and travel: 206511 (Front, standard body, 7.5" travel), 206514R (Rear, remote reservoir, HD valving, 13" travel), 206516 (Rear, standard body, HD valving, 17" travel) and 206516R (Rear, remote reservoir, HD valving, 17" travel). ICON builds the body from anodized aluminum and makes every one of them fully rebuildable and revalveable. Remote reservoir versions carry more oil and cool better, which ICON says helps against fade and cavitation.
Fitment & Compatibility
Check your fit: ICON lists no vehicle application for these shocks. Choose by position and the travel in the option name, and confirm the extended length, collapsed length and mounts for your build before you order; contact us and we will check them with ICON.
Not for: anyone wanting a direct-fit shock for a stock or kit-lifted vehicle. The vehicle-specific 2.0 Series shocks in this line are listed by year and model; use one of those if your vehicle is covered.
Fits: Universal (ICON lists no vehicle application)
About ICON Vehicle Dynamics
ICON Vehicle Dynamics designs and builds performance suspension for trucks and SUVs at its shop in Riverside, California. Engineering is led by Dylan Evans, its head engineer and a SCORE champion driver, and ICON tests its parts on the street, on the trail and under race conditions.
ICON's engineers begin with the result they want from a vehicle, then study the forces acting on it in motion, which is where the name Vehicle Dynamics comes from. Fabrication stays in ICON's own shop, from laser cutting and metal forming to CNC machining, welding and final assembly. ICON calls its suspension systems and shock absorbers the top choice for popular trucks and SUVs.
Authorized ICON Vehicle Dynamics dealer. Prestige Truck is an authorized ICON Vehicle Dynamics dealer, so every ICON part we sell is new and genuine. ICON's warranty is for the original retail buyer, on the vehicle the part was first installed on. Keep your Prestige Truck order receipt: we use it when we take a claim to ICON for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will these fit my vehicle?
They are universal shocks, so ICON does not list a vehicle for them. Send us your mount type and the extended and compressed lengths you need, and we will confirm the right part with ICON before you order.
What is the difference between the versions?
They differ by position, reservoir, valving and travel: 206511 is front, standard body, 7.5" travel, 206514R is rear, remote reservoir, hd valving, 13" travel, 206516 is rear, standard body, hd valving, 17" travel and 206516R is rear, remote reservoir, hd valving, 17" travel.
Do I need to order two shocks?
Yes, for one axle. Most 2.0 Series part numbers are a single shock, and ICON calls for two per axle. Some remote reservoir parts are made for one side, so order the driver side and passenger side numbers together.
Internal or remote reservoir: which should I pick?
An internal reservoir shock is the simpler install, with nothing extra to mount. A remote reservoir shock carries more oil and more cooling surface, so it resists fade better on long rough drives, and it needs its reservoir bracket mounted near the shock.
Should I choose the 2.0 or the 2.5 Series?
ICON aims the 2.0 Series at daily driving and weekend trail use. For extreme off-road driving it points owners to the 2.5 Series, which is stronger and handles heat better.
How often do ICON shocks need service?
ICON's maintenance guide suggests a factory service about every 40,000 miles for street use, or about every 15,000 miles for a mix of street and dirt, and sooner if a shock leaks, rides worse or gets noisy. Wash off salt and mud, wax the bodies once a year and check the nitrogen charge yearly.

Warranty, shipping & returns
-
Warranty
ICON covers its shock absorbers, including the shock in every coilover, for 1 year against manufacturer's defects.- Coverage belongs to the original retail buyer who owns the vehicle the part was first installed on.
- A shock that fails in its first year goes to ICON for inspection and service. If ICON finds the cause was neglect, poor installation or anything other than normal wear and tear, the owner pays for labor, parts and shipping.
- ICON repairs or replaces a defective part, at its discretion. Removal, reinstallation, freight and incidental or consequential costs are not covered, and parts that wear in normal use are not treated as defective.
- Not covered: finish (including finish marks from shipping), alterations or modifications, installation that departs from ICON's instructions, racing use, police, taxi, government or commercial vehicles, and sales outside the United States and Canada.
- ICON shocks leave the factory charged with nitrogen. Letting that charge out can make a shock malfunction, and ICON does not cover a failure caused by low nitrogen pressure.
- To claim, contact us first with your order number and a short description of the problem. We open the claim with ICON for you, and your Prestige Truck receipt is the proof of purchase ICON asks for.
