ICON: 0-3″ Lift Front VS 2.5 Series Coilover Kit Extended Travel RR 700 Lbs/in Spring Rate – 1996 – 2004 Toyota Tacoma

Description

ICON Vehicle Dynamics VS Series 2.5″ coilover shocks are an incredible upgrade for the front end of the 1996-2004 Toyota Tacoma 4WD/Prerunner. ICON’s Vehicle-specific valving provides a sport tuned feel on and off-road while offering 0-3″ of lift height adjustability for use of larger, more aggressive wheel and tire combinations. The larger 2.5″ shock body and increased piston area over stock components provides improved damping ability and outstanding ride characteristics across varying types of terrain. Their extended travel length allows for more wheel travel but also requires the installation of aftermarket front upper control arms. Remote reservoirs ensure optimum performance by increasing the duration of consistent damping regardless of situation, keeping the shocks at a cooler operating temperature during heavy use. ICON’s exclusive Compression Damping Control Valves are included for precisely dialing in your suspension performance. CDCV controls fluid flow under compression, allowing you to achieve the perfect tune whether driving on the street, slow-crawling through the rocks or mobbing across the desert at full throttle. When paired with ICON rear 2.0 Aluminum Series rear shocks, vehicle control will be balanced front to rear resulting in the best overall driving experience for your Tacoma.

• Increased wheel travel over stock
