Overview
EXP Series is based on ICON’s proven 2.5-inch diameter Aluminum Series shock absorber, featuring a one-piece impact-extruded aluminum shock body. Hard anodizing provides a great-looking, consistent finish with superior resistance to abrasion and corrosion. The massive 7/8-inch diameter shaft is induction hardened and chrome plated. 05-UP Tacoma EXP shocks mount in a shaft-up orientation and include the upper shock mount and spring seat.
The 6061-billet aluminum coil spring seat is CNC machined to fit the Tacoma's OE coil springs. A series of snap-ring grooves machined into the shock body provide easily-selectable front-end ride height adjustment from 0" to 2” of lift over stock.
EXP Series shocks utilize a one-piece digressive piston design and are custom tuned for the Tacoma 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.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
The Expert's Opinion
"We've been big fans of Icon's total suspension approach since running the CDCV kit on our Tacoma back in 2017. Icon regularly provides the most travel in their shocks and suspension systems when compared to competitors, giving more lift height, or more usable travel."
Questions? We've got answers
ICON shocks are tuned for performance-first ride quality, which means you can expect a ride that feels firmer and more controlled than stock, especially on the street. They reduce body roll, brake dive, and overall vehicle movement, giving your truck a more planted and responsive feel.
Where ICON really stands out is off-road. These shocks are designed to handle higher speeds and rough terrain, so you’ll notice excellent control over bumps, whoops, and uneven surfaces, with less fade during repeated impacts. Instead of feeling soft or floaty, the suspension stays composed and predictable.
Overall, ICON shocks are a great fit if you want a sportier, more aggressive ride with strong off-road capability. They may feel firmer than some comfort-focused options, but they deliver a high level of control and confidence both on and off the pavement.
Some ICON shocks are adjustable, but it depends on the specific model and series. Many of ICON’s standard shocks come with vehicle-specific valving and no external adjusters, designed to deliver strong performance right out of the box without needing tuning.
However, ICON offers several higher-end options with adjustability. For example, shocks equipped with CDC (Compression Damping Control) valves provide multiple levels of compression adjustment via a knob, allowing you to fine-tune the ride for different terrain or driving styles.
At the top end, ICON also offers advanced systems like CDXS or CDEV, which can provide more precise manual adjustments or even electronic, real-time damping changes based on driving conditions.
In short, not all ICON shocks are adjustable, but many upgraded versions offer a wide range of tuning options—from simple knob adjustments to fully electronic control.
Click the 'Select Your Vehicle' button above the 'Add to Cart' button to make sure the shocks fit your exact vehicle. If needed, the site will send you to the right shocks for your ride. If your vehicle has been lifted, use the dropdown menu to pick the correct lift height. For example, if you have a Rough Country 6-inch lift kit, choose Front 4–6" and Rear 3–4" (the rear is usually smaller than the front). Still not sure? Our sales team is happy to help.
ICON shocks are built as rebuildable, high-performance shocks, so their lifespan is a little different than basic “replace when worn out” shocks. For vehicles that are mostly driven on the street, you can typically expect around 50,000–80,000 miles before a rebuild is recommended to keep them performing at their best.
If your truck sees frequent off-road use, heavy loads, or aggressive driving, service intervals can come sooner—sometimes significantly sooner—since heat, dirt, and repeated impacts accelerate wear.
The key thing to know is that ICON shocks are designed to be serviced, not thrown away. With proper maintenance and periodic rebuilds, they can deliver years of consistent performance and continue working well long after that initial service interval.
