ICON 2021-2026 Ford F-150 Raptor, Passenger Rear, V.S. 3.0 Series Zeta Bypass RXT Shock Absorber, Remote Reservoir w/ CDEV

ICON Vehicle Dynamics is known for its extensive research and development put into every product, the revolutionary outcome of this research is what sets ICON apart from the off-road industry standard. The Ford F-150 Raptor is a unique production truck, designed & built, to bridge the gap between a standard street “pickup truck” and an off-road pre-runner. Since the F-150 Raptor’s release ICON Vehicle Dynamics’ engineers have pushed this vehicle to extremes in order to develop the most comprehensive suspension components on the market. From the brutal deserts of Baja, to the deep snow of Michigan’s U.P., to the wooded trails of the East coast, ICON suspension systems have been put to the test and consistently perform beyond expectation. Unable to leave “well-enough” alone, ICON is once again aiming to raise the bar in Raptor performance with the introduction of the RXT Rear 3.0 Remote Reservoir Bypass Shock for the 2021-2026 Gen3 F-150 Raptor.

The ICON RXT 3.0 Rear Bypass shock with 3.0 Dual Hose Remote Reservoir is truly the next level in Ford Raptor Performance for the rear of your truck. Their vehicle specific shock lengths are designed to be paired with ICON rear coil springs to allow for significantly more down-travel over stock, leaving you with 17 inches of usable rear wheel travel overall. The desire for increased travel was answered with a unique side-mount eyelet approach that allowed ICON engineers to develop a shock shorter in collapsed length, longer at extension, but still fits in the factory mounting location. A 3.0 Dual Hose Recirculating Reservoir (Patent Pending) incorporates a check valve that allows hot fluid in the shock body to be exchanged with cooler fluid in the reservoir. The 12.5” long, 3.0” diameter finned reservoir’s increased surface area further aids heat dissipation while also ensuring ample nitrogen volume. The result of this is the ability of the Raptor to be driven harder for longer periods of time without the worry of shock fade and degraded performance.

ICON RXT Rear 3.0 Remote Reservoir Bypass Shocks are far from the norm when compared to a traditional bypass shock you see on Trophy Trucks and other off-road race vehicles. Each bypass valve has a specific port design and individually equipped with a different spring rate to ensure proper performance at each zone of shock travel. These same bypass valves feature damped valve stops for quiet and precise operation. That means no clicking noises as you hit bumps or road chatter driving down the road. The biggest difference in these shocks versus an industry standard bypass shock, are the included “Easy-to-Adjust” knobs and the replaceable bypass tubes. The “Easy to Adjust” High Resolution Clicker Knobs do not require any tools for adjustment, and can be adjusted in seconds from plush off-road performance to firm on road manners for extra control while driving the mountains or towing a trailer. Another unique feature of this shock is the replaceable bypass tubes that can be swapped out during a standard rebuild if any damage were to occur, where a normal bypass shock body would need to be completely replaced, saving you hundreds of dollars.

ICON's exclusive Compression Damping Electronic Valves are also included for actively dialing in your suspension performance. Compression Damping Electronic Valve (CDEV) is an electronically controlled valve that meters the flow of oil to regulate the amount of damping force that is created by the shock when compressed. This infinitely variable valve can react in less than 40ms and has the ability to make extremely precise adjustments for varying terrain. CDEV’s hydraulic circuits are also custom tailored per application to create the highest resolution and dynamic range allowable for each specific vehicle. Powered by ICON Intelligent Control and proprietary ICON mobile app, the system uses information from the onboard G-force sensor and Gyroscope to perform calculations based on algorithms and user-defined settings to predict terrain and adjust shock settings via the CDEV accordingly. With the shock absorbers no longer directly wired to the Raptor's ECU the IIC/CDEV system allows drivers to dial in their preferred shock damping settings independently from the selected vehicle drive mode and with more refined resolution than afforded by the factory system. This allows for a more customized vehicle set up with the perfect blend of comfort and performance.
