Huge Improvement in Front Suspension Performance

The front Fox shocks are decent enough for street-driven Raptors and trucks that see the occasional trail, but when it comes to hardcore off-road performance and high-speed trail runs, they can start to let you down. ICON's 3.0 Coilover front shocks definitely won't and are one of the best ways to get vastly improved front suspension articulation, performance, and cooling for reduced fade all in one heavy-duty kit. These awesome coilovers have adjustable ride heights from 1" to a full 3" to let you fit on even larger wheel and tire combinations than stock. Each coilover features remote reservoirs equipped with ICON's own Compression Damping Control Valve (CDCV) system that allows you to adjust compression by controlling oil flow from the reservoir to the shock body so that you can tune your coilovers for whatever application or terrain you have in front of you.

Heavy-Duty Design with Adjustable Compression

These coilovers are built around a large 3" diameter shock body that houses a true 3" piston with a digressive rebound and flutter stack design that is extremely reliable and powerful. The coilover's spring is one of Eibach's high-performance coilover springs that's been finely-tuned specifically for your SVT Raptor for maximum suspension performance and articulation. Each coilover features CNC machined shock shafts fitted with PTFE-lined bearings that help limit deflection and provide a ton of strength for performance driving. Each of the 10" remotely mounted reservoirs have optimized hose lengths for improved cooling and their CDCV system allows for easy on-truck adjustments of stiffness for any terrain. These coilovers fit on right in place of your factory shocks and coil springs with only minimal modifications needed to fit the reservoirs.

I cannot believe the difference I felt over the stock Fox 2.5 Shox! I was hesitant on the price but they were worth every penny in my opinion, and I did my research on all top shock brands believe me. This is a mod that you will feel where you're money went and you won't be let down! One big thing sticks out to me that was surprising and that's the adjustment knobs on the reservoir really do give you a seat of the pants feeling difference when you move them from soft to hard. Great product, and I would buy them again if I did it all over!

Overall pretty happy with these front shocks, huge improvement over stock shocks. I would have liked to know I had to relieve a part of the shock tower in order to install them, something Stage 3 fails to mention in their install video, it wasn’t a problem to do for me but could imagine that guy all super stoked to install his new goodies only to find he can’t do it because he doesn’t have the tools to do it. Another note is that you will want to add approximately 2” more of preload before you install these if you want your truck to have a level stance, buy the spring perch adjuster tool. The Stage 3 salesman said they come adjusted for level ride height with stock rear springs and blocks, when I got them mounted up and put it on the ground it looked like a hot rod with about a 2” difference between front and rear. Adjusting these before you install them will be way easier, because even at full installed extension there is still a bit of pressure on the spring. As far as ride quality goes they are quite good, quieter than the Fox 3.0’s. On road handling is awesome, some people say they feel too stiff, but huck it into a corner at 80+ and feel the front end dig in, ass end easier to rotate now. Off Road I adjust them from softest setting to 5 clicks in they work really well especially in really fast stuff where you are cycling everything really quickly. Overall stoked on my purchase. Another note is that I really like how the reservoirs mount vertically.

I’m running my fox factory shocks at top perch with 37 inch tires, how much more lift would these give me over what I currently have? Or does the top 3.0 adjustment equal top perch setting with the factory fox shocks?

It's my understanding that the top perch on the stock Fox 2.5s nets you about 2.5" of ride height. According to ICON, their 3.0s are capable of adding up to 3.5" of front leveling, though we don't recommend going beyond 3" of total ride height. Regardless, the ICON 3.0s are capable of more ride height than the perch mods, and shouldn't effect your current fitments.
