ICON 2.5 Piggyback/Remote Resi/Bypass Rebuild Kit| 252011

Product Description

If you’ve invested in a high-performance suspension system with a 2.5″ piggy-back or remote-reservoir setup from ICON Vehicle Dynamics, then the maintenance of those components is just as important as the initial upgrade. The ICON Rebuild Kit (Part No. 252011) is engineered to give your shocks a second life—restoring their dynamic performance, ensuring consistent damping, and prolonging serviceability. 

Technical Highlights & Benefits

• Comprehensive seal-kit for 2.5″ body remote/piggy-back shocks: This rebuild kit includes all the essential seals, O-rings and wear components required to rebuild one ICON 2.5″ Series shock featuring an external reservoir. 

• Tailored for high-performance internal dynamics: The kit is intended specifically for ICON’s 2.50″ diameter piggy-back or remote-reservoir shocks—components which generally have oversized pistons, high volumes of oil, and demand consistent sealing and nitrogen charge integrity. 

• Supports rebuild & re-valving maintenance cycle: By enabling rebuilds rather than complete replacement, this kit helps maintain the shock’s optimized valving, large-bore cylinder performance, internal bump-zone and high-shaft-diameter architecture. 

• Cost-effective support for serviceability: Instead of replacing the entire shock absorber unit when seal wear or fluid contamination occur, the rebuild kit allows you to restore the shock’s internals at a fraction of the cost—keeping your suspension performing as designed.

• Why this matters for your driving experience: Over time, heat cycling, external leaks, nitrogen loss and wear on seals degrade damping precision. With this kit, you can restore the original damping characteristics—meaning your vehicle continues to track, corner and absorb terrain as intended, without compromise.

Why You Should Buy It

• Preserves premium suspension investment: If you’ve already chosen ICON’s 2.5″ remote reservoir shocks for their large-bore damping and superior performance, this kit ensures your initial investment continues delivering.

• Maintains ride quality, handling and control: Suspension performance isn’t just about new parts—it’s about how those parts behave over time. Restoring internal sealing means sustained damping consistency, better control over body motion, less fade under load/tow/off-road.

• Supports long-term durability: These shocks are built for serious work—large shafts, big pistons, remote reservoirs. But service and maintenance are part of their design philosophy. This kit enables you to keep them serviceable.

• Practical upgrade for maintenance, not alteration: This rebuild kit doesn’t change your vehicle’s height, geometry or tuning—it restores what you already have to factory/ICON spec. Ideal if you’re satisfied with your suspension setup but want to maintain it.

• DIY or professional friendly: Whether you have a qualified shop or you do rebuilds yourself, this kit gives you the correct consumables (seals, O-rings) to get the job done rather than sourcing disparate parts.

Ideal For You If…

• You own a vehicle equipped with ICON 2.5″ series piggy-back or remote-reservoir shocks (commonly used in lifted or heavily loaded trucks/SUVs) and you need to service or rebuild those shocks.

• You have been experiencing shock oil leaks, external reservoir damage, reduced damping performance, or nitrogen charge issues, and you want to restore the shock rather than replace it.

• You want to maintain or restore peak performance of your suspension system—especially if you use your vehicle for towing, heavy duty work, off-road or high cycle use.

• You value part-longevity, rebuildable design and want to keep your suspension components performing rather than letting them degrade.

Installation & Considerations

• This kit is meant for one ICON 2.5″ piggy-back/remote-reservoir shock. If you have a pair, you will need two kits. 

• You will need appropriate tools: shock fluid replacement, nitrogen fill tool (ICON Nitrogen Fill Tool #252004 is often required) and torque specifications. The listing notes “Note: ‘shop air’ is not recommended for use in any ICON Shock Absorber.” 

• After rebuild, ensure correct nitrogen pressure, correct fill volume of fluid (most ICON 2.5 shocks require between ¼ and ½ gallon of fluid) and proper bleed/charge procedure. 

• While the kit restores sealing internals, it doesn’t change valving or geometry—if your vehicle’s suspension needs a fresh tune or if you have changed lift height significantly, consider a full shock rebuild or re-valving.

• If your suspension unit shows severe wear (shaft damage, bent mounts, major corrosion) a rebuild kit may not be sufficient; inspect components carefully before proceeding.

In summary: The ICON PN 252011 Rebuild Kit is the essential maintenance part for your 2.5″ piggy-back or remote-reservoir ICON shocks. If you want to preserve ride quality, handling precision and value of your suspension system—especially in demanding truck or SUV applications—this rebuild kit is a smart, technically sound investment.
