From ICON
EXP Series shocks utilize a one-piece digressive piston design and are custom tuned for the 2019-2023 GM 1500 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.
Why this 2.5 Series VS Front Coilover Kit
ICON 2.5 Series coilovers replace the factory strut with a threaded-body, vehicle-specific unit for the 2019-2026 Chevy/GMC 1500. Ride height is set on the spring collar within the listed range, and damping is valved for this truck rather than a generic length.

Questions
IR, RR, PB: what is the difference?
IR is an internal reservoir, a self-contained monotube body. RR is a remote reservoir connected by hose and PB is a piggyback reservoir bolted to the body; both add oil volume and cooling so damping stays consistent on long rough sections. IR is lighter and simpler; RR and PB resist fade.
CDCV, CDEV, CDXS: which adjuster?
CDCV is a 10-position manual compression knob. CDEV is an electronic compression valve controlled by the ICON Intelligent Control module and phone app, which reads speed and terrain and adjusts on the fly; it requires the IIC install kit. CDXS is a manual dual-circuit adjuster with 10 marked detents each for compression and rebound. Shocks without a code run ICON's fixed vehicle-specific valving.
Can these be serviced?
Yes. Every ICON shock and coilover is rebuildable and revalveable through ICON factory shock service. The shock warranty is 12 months against manufacturing defects.
Do I need an alignment?
Yes. Any change to front ride height requires a four-wheel alignment after installation.
Do I need upper control arms?
ICON recommends aftermarket upper control arms once front lift exceeds roughly 2 in on independent-front-suspension trucks, to restore alignment range and ball joint angle. The Stage 2 and higher systems for this truck include them.
Who installs it?
ICON requires professional installation and does not cover failures caused by improper installation. Plan on a shop with a lift and an alignment rack for anything that changes ride height.
