Icon Tacoma 3rd Gen 0-2.75″ Suspension System – Stage 8 Tubular UCA Icon

Icon Toyota Tacoma 3rd Gen 0-2.75″ Suspension System – Stage 8 Tubular UCA

 

Any vehicle, much less an off-road vehicle, must have a reliable and sturdy suspension system. It can improve how well your car handles rocky terrain without harming it. We are therefore delighted to present the Icon suspension system made to fit the Tacoma models.

The Icon 3rd Gen Tacoma suspension kit was constructed out of durable CNC machined 6061 aircraft grade aluminum and has a corrosion-resistant CAD plated coilover shock body with 7/8″ shaft. This is also a bolt-on system meaning that no cutting or welding is needed for installation.

The ICON Tacoma suspension system is built to perform at its best. ICON engineers spent the majority of their time throughout the design of these systems concentrating on increasing tire travel and dampening capacity, which results in excellent vehicle handling and ride quality both on and off-road. With the inclusion of rear suspension parts including an ICON RXT multi-rate leaf spring and a special 2.5 Aluminum Series shock designed specifically for the RXT, this Stage 8 system goes one step further in bringing ICON performance to the Tacoma.

The Stage 8 system consists of ICON-engineered coil springs for better vehicle “feel” throughout the range of travel and vehicle-specific tuned 2.5 Series Extended Travel coilover shocks with a remote reservoir for remarkable cooling properties. Furthermore height-adjustable from 0-3.5″ for models made from 2005 to 2015 or 0-2.75″ for models made from 2016 and on, these coilovers enable the use of bigger, more aggressive wheel and tire combinations.

These extended travel coilovers increase the amount of droop travel in the front suspension when used with the ICON upper control arm that is supplied. The ICON RXT multi-rate leaf springs are installed to the rear of the truck to improve the ride quality and achieve more droop travel.

It is built with an extra leaf (included in the kit) that may be switched out or added to the pack to produce a 10–20% higher spring rate. The aforementioned leaf spring is ideal for both drivers who want to increase the rear ride quality of a “unloaded” vehicle as well as those who have equipped their vehicles with heavy accessories like bed racks, roof top tents, spare tires, parts, or other upgrades.

The Stage 8 system comes with a special 2.5 Aluminum Series remote reservoir shock to go along with this increase in rear wheel travel. This shock has a side-mount eyelet, which makes it shorter when collapsed and longer when extended while still fitting in the factory mounting location. In order to help with heat dissipation and prevent shock fade during vigorous driving, a substantial 10 inch remote reservoir was included.

Upper control arms with the proprietary ICON Delta Joint are a component of this system. The Delta Joint is a heavy-duty, high-angle ball joint that combines typical uniball performance with the durability of a ball joint. Although the industry standard uniball performs a superb job of allowing a vehicle’s control arms to articulate with little bind, it does have a built-in flaw that leaves more to be desired when employed in a daily driven application: exposure to the environment.

The Delta Joint has a zinc-plated housing that offers the first line of defense against corrosion, and a robust grease seal keeps potentially dangerous materials out of the joint’s interior workings. The Delta Joint’s durability is increased by its metal on metal construction and greaseable design, both of which enable noiseless operation. The Delta Joint is special because it gives ICON upper control arms the best of both worlds thanks to qualities that make it more durable than a uniball and, at the same time, capable of greater angularity than a normal ball joint.

Upper Control Arm 

Whenever you are changing your vehicle’s geometry and upgrading it with a suspension kit, especially on 4WD vehicles, you absolutely need an upper control arm. The UCA is there to correct alignment and inherent clearance issues that arise when you lift or modify the suspension of your 4WD. Upper control arms can be found on independent front suspension (IFS) vehicles and they connect the top of the spindle to the frame.

The UCA is not a load-bearing piece of an IFS suspension, however, it does serve the purpose of guiding your spindle in a pre-determined motion when your suspension cycles up or down. Said load is handled by the lower control arm, which connects to the lower portion of the spindle.
