ICON Universal 2.0 Series Shocks Shocks 11in Travel NR HDRV - Single| 206513

Product Description

If you’re looking for a serious upgrade to your truck or SUV’s rear suspension — whether for heavy loads, off‑road use, or just better everyday performance — the ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2.0 Aluminum Series Universal Rear Shock (Part No. 206513) offers a technically‑oriented solution designed to elevate ride quality, axle control and longevity. This is a universal model (not vehicle‑specific) with 11″ of shock travel and heavy‑duty internal design, making it ideal in custom, lifted or performance rear‑suspension applications.

Technical Highlights & Benefits

• 11″ of shaft travel (approx. compressed length 14.93″, extended length 25.75″): Gives you increased rear axle articulation and damping capacity — beneficial for lifted builds, long travel setups or heavy‑duty use.

• Heavy Duty Valving tuned for rear applications: The internal valving is optimized for rear‑end loads, making the shock more responsive when carrying gear, towing, or driving aggressively. 

• Nitrogen‑charged emulsion monotube design: Ensures consistent damping across temperatures and load cycles, reducing fade compared to lower‑end shocks. 

• Durable materials & construction: Includes a 5/8″ chrome‑plated hardened steel shaft to resist corrosion and pitting; 6061/6063 anodized aluminum body and internals for excellent heat dissipation and long‑term durability. 

• 100% rebuildable and re‑valveable: Rather than a throw‑away part, this shock is built to be serviced, which means better long‑term value and sustained performance.

• Universal mount (“not application specific”): This model can be adapted into custom or aftermarket setups. Note: may require fabrication or custom mounting hardware. 

Why You Should Buy It

• Enhanced rear stability and control: Whether you're hauling heavy loads, towing trailers, or off‑road driving, your rear end will remain more controlled. You'll experience less bounce, less uncontrolled axle movement, and improved ride quality.

• Better articulation and travel: With 11″ of shock travel, you gain the capacity to manage rougher surfaces, bigger bumps, more aggressive terrain or larger tire builds than many stock shocks allow.

• Long‑term durability and serviceability: Investing in a shock built with premium materials and designed to be rebuilt means lower lifecycle cost and better sustained performance.

• Flexibility for custom builds: Because this is a universal shock, it allows for use in custom applications, lifted trucks, vehicles with aftermarket rear setups, or where vehicle‑specific parts aren't available or ideal.

• Upgraded feel for daily driving and work use: Even in everyday driving when you're not off‑road, upgrading to a shock with optimized valving means smoother transitions, better axle control, and a more confident ride.

Ideal For You If…

• You have a truck, SUV or custom vehicle with rear‑end modifications (lifted rear, modified suspension, oversized tires) where a high‑performance universal shock makes sense.

• You carry heavy loads, tow trailers or often drive on rough surfaces and need the rear suspension to perform—not just exist.

• You value engineered upgrades and materials (aluminum body, hardened steel shaft, rebuildable design) over basic replacement shocks.

• You’re doing a custom or non‑factory rear suspension build and need a high‑quality universal shock solution.

Installation & Considerations

• Because this is universal and not application‑specific, it may require custom mounting brackets, eyelet dimensions, or fitment work to integrate properly in your vehicle. The specs note “TECH NOTE: Not application specific and may require custom fabrication to mount to vehicle.” 

• Carefully consider travel, ride height, axle geometry, and clearance. With 11″ travel, you must ensure your suspension build can accommodate the stroke and mounting points without interference.

• After installation, check and adjust alignment, ride height, and go through a proper break‑in period if recommended. If you're combining with larger tires or changed ride height, ensure other suspension components (springs, control arms, bushings) are compatible.

• Because the shock is rebuildable, for best longevity you might want to inspect it periodically (especially after off‑road use) for wear, shaft condition, bushings, and proper mounting hardware.

Upgrade your rear suspension with the ICON 206513 Universal 2.0 Aluminum Series Rear Shock, and feel the difference in control, articulation and ride quality whether your truck is on‑road, loaded, or off‑the‑grid.
