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. To better support the weight of additional accessories such as aftermarket front bumpers and winches, these coilovers include ICON engineered coil springs with an increased, 700 lbs/in spring rate, allowing for taller ride heights with increased front end weight. 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.

Key features:
• Increased wheel travel over stock
• Vehicle specific tuned front shocks for superior shock damping and control
• External reservoir to attain cooler operating temperatures during extended off-road use
• Improved ride quality over stock on and off-road
• Height-adjustable coilovers offer 0-3″ of lift height adjustment
• ICON engineered coil springs with 700 lbs/in spring rate are more ideal for heavier equipped front ends
• 6061 Aircraft grade aluminum CNC machined components
• Corrosion resistant CAD plated shock body with 7/8″ induction hardened, chrome plated shaft
