ICON Complete Coilover Suspension Systems (Stages 3 through 8)

[Dusty at ICON]

Do these packages level the vehicle?
Ive got a Sasquatch and want to run 37’s with the stage 3, do I have to adjust the coil overs, or just plug and play?

Yes they are designed to level the vehicle along with the stated lift. Keep in mind though, that some equipment configurations and gear load-outs can make it sit un-level. For example a heavy front bumper and winch, or a 37" spare tire at the other end, or a rooftop tent, etc. But the coilovers have a threaded body so you can make small adjustments at either end, if you need to.

I do need to mention the 2-door, though. Since these kits aren't specific to 2-door or 4-door, the lighter weight of the 2-door means that it will sit slightly higher than the 4-door, and it will also get a slight forward rake (slightly higher in the rear).

Looking at the first pick of the ICON rig. Looks like there is some kind of trim/ring protector on the Rebound Pro rims that is attached to the bolts. What is that...and is it going to be a thing customers can buy?

I am debating between ICON Rebound Pro and Method 703. I am leaning toward ICON as the PRO is a DOT compliant beadlock and a rim edge protector sounds like a cool add on...to save the wheel lip as a consumable part.

It's just something we are testing, and we're not sure if it will make it to production. We didn't intend to show it off but it happened to be on the Bronco the day I took it up to Cougar Buttes to shoot those photos.

Pricing has been sent to our dealers along with everything else they need in order to post info. I won't quote pricing here because dealers have some leeway to set their own prices, subject to our MAP policy. Unfortunately we can't offer discounts directly as it will violate our own MAP policy. We do not undercut our dealers, and we actually set our own prices slightly higher than MAP to give our dealers the advantage.

Anything you can tell us about the upcoming front & rear bumper offering?

Not yet. It may be a while on those.

Love to see some flex comparisons between stock and the extra travel.

 

[Harumph]

@Dusty at ICON What is the weight difference between all tubular and all billet? I've had your billet components in the past and they look great. This time around (on the Bronco) I'm wanting to save weight.

Can I even buy a kit with all tubular? Stage 8 for example.

Is “up-travel limiter” a fancy way of saying “bump stop”? Or is there some new woke engineering going on? Are we protecting the feelings of Bronco by not calling it a “bump stop”?

@Dusty at ICON My order is officially in with Jay Hypermotive, hopefully shipping to Canada doesn't add another k to my bloated Canadian pricetag haha. Eff.

From what

ICON Vehicle Dynamics is excited to announce Stages 3 through 8 of our Complete Suspension Systems for 2021+ Ford Bronco!

ICON Vehicle Dynamics is excited to announce Stages 3 through 8 of our Complete Suspension Systems for Bronco! Aimed at improving on- and off-road performance and ride quality, all of these systems feature custom valved ICON 2.5-inch diameter Coilover Shocks for Bronco, with custom front coil springs and triple-rate rear coil springs yielding 3" to 4" of lift over stock, depending on model*. To accommodate the increased travel we are able to squeeze out of the Bronco's suspension, all kits feature replacement front Upper Control Arms utilizing ICON's patented Delta Joint PRO. Higher Stages feature additional shock technology and performance additions as well as links and suspension components which have been engineered to maximize performance.

These systems are designed to provide up to 11.5" of front suspenion travel and 14" of rear suspension travel when used with 35X12.50 tires. They may be safely used with 37" and larger tires if using the optional up-travel limiters (sold separately). The factory crash bars (non-Sasquatch equipped Broncos) must be removed to clear 35" and larger tires, but ICON now offers a replacement High Clearance Crash Bar set for those who would like to run larger tires and retain the functionality of the crash bars.

All of these ICON Coilovers and Suspension Systems feature:

• Improved suspension performance and ride quality over stock
• 14" Rear Travel; 11.5" Front Travel with 35" tires
• Vehicle specific tuned front and rear shocks for superior damping and vehicle control
• Adjustable coilovers from 2.5-4" of lift height (factory set at 2-3")
• PTFE lined spherical bearings and application specific mounting hardware
• 6061 Aircraft grade aluminum CNC machined components
• Corrosion resistant CAD plated coilover shock body with 7/8 shaft
• High strength alloy CNC machined lower bar pin
• 100% Bolt-on system - no drilling, cutting, or welding necessary for install
• Tubular or billet UCA for added strength, durability and an additional degree of caster for better drivability
• UCAs feature the Delta Joint Pro with 90 degrees of total articulation.
• Featuring a rear triple rate coil design
• Rear coilovers are in a shaft up configuration for maximum travel.

Each of our Complete Suspension System stages are built around our precision engineered, race proven ICON shock technology, with increased features and performance with each higher stage. Here is a summary of each Stage, including the additional features each has over the previous stages:

STAGE 3: MAXIMUM TRAVEL
ICON Coilover Suspension Systems for Bronco start at Stage 3 and feature our precision-manufactured, custom valved Internal Reservoir coilover shocks to yield the maximum travel possible along with superior ride quality and suspension performance both on- and off-road. ICON coilover shocks are fully rebuildable. Our coil springs are custom engineered specifically for Bronco. To accommodate the increased travel afforded by the ICON Coilovers, Stage 3 comes with tubular or billet Upper Control Arms which provide caster correction and feature our patented Delta Joint PRO, which allows for up to 90-desgrees freedom of movement. The rear shocks are oriented shaft-up with unique triple-rate coil springs to achieve the most rear suspension travel possible.

STAGE 3 Includes:

• BRONCO FRONT 2.5 VS INTERNAL RESERVOIR COILOVER KIT
• BRONCO REAR 2.5 VS INTERNAL RESERVOIR COILOVER KIT
• BRONCO TUBULAR or BILLET UCA KIT WITH DELTA JOINT PRO

STAGE 4: INCREASED COOLING UNDER HARD USE
To provide for sustained shock performance at speed through rough terrain, Stage 4 adds remote reservoirs to the ICON Coilovers. Reservoirs greatly increase shock oil volume and heat dissipation surface area to resist overheating and cavitation under hard use, which can lead to damper fade.

STAGE 4 Includes:

• BRONCO FRONT 2.5 VS REMOTE RESERVOIR COILOVER KIT
• BRONCO REAR 2.5 VS RREMOTE RESERVOIR COILOVER KIT
• BRONCO TUBULAR or BILLET UCA KIT WITH DELTA JOINT PRO

STAGE 5: UPGRADED REAR SUSPENSION
Stage 5 begins to free up the Bronco's rear suspension articulation while gaining strength and ground clearance with the addition of ICON rear lower suspension links. Available in either billet or tubular versions these links employ dual-durometer greaseless bushings at one end, and a massive FK rod end at the other to provide the best combination of free articulation and ride quality. The billet lower links provide the additional benefits of on-vehicle adjustability and replaceable rock skids.

STAGE 5 Includes:

• BRONCO FRONT 2.5 VS REMOTE RESERVOIR COILOVER KIT
• BRONCO REAR 2.5 VS REMOTE RESERVOIR COILOVER KIT
• BRONCO TUBULAR or BILLET UCA KIT WITH DELTA JOINT PRO
• BRONCO TUBULAR or BILLET REAR LOWER LINK KIT

STAGE 6: DIAL IN YOUR PERFORMANCE
Stage 6 features ICON's exclusive Compression Damping Control Valves= (CDCV) for precisely dialing in your suspension performance. CDCV controls fluid flow under compression, allowing you to achieve the perfect tune whether driving on the street, slow-crawling through the rocks or mobbing across the desert at full throttle.

STAGE 6 Includes:

• BRONCO FRONT 2.5 VS REMOTE RESERVOIR WITH CDCV COILOVER KIT
• BRONCO REAR 2.5 VS REMOTE RESERVOIR WITH CDCV COILOVER KIT
• BRONCO TUBULAR or BILLET UCA KIT WITH DELTA JOINT PRO
• BRONCO TUBULAR or BILLET REAR LOWER LINK KIT

STAGE 7: PRECISION REAR END ALIGNMENT
Stage 7 builds on our CDCV system by adding the complete rear link kit including upper links and ICON's Adjustable Rear Track Bar. Upper and Lower Rear Links are available in either tubular or billet versions. The added upper links have been designed for clearance from the fuel tank during maximum articulation. The Adjustable Track Bar features our dual-durometer greaseless bushing and FK Rod End, as well as on-vehicle adjustability for perfectly aligning the Bronco's rear axle for any lift height.

STAGE 7 Includes:

• BRONCO FRONT 2.5 VS REMOTE RESERVOIR WITH CDCV COILOVER KIT
• BRONCO REAR 2.5 VS REMOTE RESERVOIR WITH CDCV COILOVER KIT
• BRONCO TUBULAR or BILLET UCA KIT WITH DELTA JOINT PRO
• BRONCO TUBULAR or BILLET REAR UPPER LINK KIT
• BRONCO TUBULAR or BILLET REAR LOWER LINK KIT
• BRONCO REAR ADJUSTABLE TRACK BAR KIT

STAGE 8: ON-THE-FLY SHOCK TUNING
ICON's Top Of The Range suspension system features lightning fast, precise electronic shock tuning, on-the-fly, at any speed and in any terrain. Focus on driving and let ICON Intelligent Control (IIC) read the terrain and make near-instant adjustments via the Compression Damping Electronic Valve (CDEV) at each individual shock. Control the system wirelessly through the IIC app on your phone. Once configured the system functions without driver input.

STAGE 8 Includes:

• BRONCO FRONT 2.5 VS RR CDEV COILOVER KIT
• BRONCO REAR 2.5 VS RR CDEV COILOVER KIT
• BRONCO ICON INTELLIGENT CONTROL MODULE & INSTALL KIT
• BRONCO TUBULAR or BILLET UCA KIT WITH DELTA JOINT PRO
• BRONCO TUBULAR or BILLET REAR UPPER LINK KIT
• BRONCO TUBULAR or BILLET REAR LOWER LINK KIT
• BRONCO REAR ADJUSTABLE TRACK BAR KIT

IMPORTANT TECH NOTES

• 2-Door models will sit slightly higher than 4-door due to weight difference. For all models, final lift height is subject to variations due to equipment weight and load-out.
• When running 37" tires, Up-Travel Limiters are required to prevent tire contact with wheel well liners at full compression. These are sold separately (p/n 611075 front; p/n 611074 rear)
• On Broncos equipped with factory crash bars (non-Sasquatch models), ICON High Clearance Crash Bars are recommended when running up to 35" tires.
• When running 37" tires, factory crash bars (if present) may need to be removed, and further trimming may be required, to prevent rubbing (not recommended by ICON).

These Complete Suspension Kits will be available for pre-order soon, contact your favorite Authorized ICON Dealer or watch this thread to be the first to know when ordering opens on the ICON website!

@Dusty at ICON Will there be a stage 9 within the next few months? From what I remember on an earlier thread from ICON was that you guys were releasing these suspension kits from stages 3-9 in the upcoming months or something to that effect.

Is “up-travel limiter” a fancy way of saying “bump stop”? Or is there some new woke engineering going on? Are we protecting the feelings of Bronco by not calling it a “bump stop”?

According to vendor listings, they are spacers for the bump stops with the purpose of limiting up-travel for larger tires. If the description is correct, perhaps 0.75" travel reduction in front (0.5" spacer), but less than 0.5" in rear.

 

[The Story Till Now]

Very exciting!

 

[Natai]

I'm not sure if I understand your question. We do not have different part numbers of these kits for Sasquatch and non-Sasquatch. The same kit works on both, as it replaces all of the Sasquatch-specific suspension components. There may be some other considerations such as tire fitment within the flares, which are different between Sasquatch and non-Sasquatch, but things like that are mostly just aesthetic. The only reason we even mention Sasquatch and non-Sasquatch is that the resulting lift height will be different between the two, as Sasquatch-equipped Broncos start out 1.1" higher than non-Sasquatch (except for Badlands non-Sasquatch, which is sort of in-between), so the effective amount of lift for our kit is that much less than if you installed it on a non-Sasquatch. Blame Ford for all of that confusion, not us LOL.

Thanks, that makes much more sense. And yes, the confusion was essentially due to how vendors were describing them in their listings.

Example of confusion. Same part listed twice for squatch or non-squatch. Even though I have never understood this confusion, you either have squatch or you don't.

The confusion comes from most vendors seemingly suggesting there are only two options for suspension on the Bronco, when in fact there are three (soon to be four with HOSS 3.0).

 

[p3pete]

Unsolicited positive review. Have the ICON Stage 6 on my 08 FJ and can't say enough good things about it. I've beat the crap out of that suspension and it keeps asking for more... If/when I go about upgrading the Bronco, I'll be going with ICON....
