ICON 2007–2016 GM 1500 Stage 3 1-3 inches Lift Suspension System (Small Taper)

Part Number: K73003

Summary: The ICON Stage 3 suspension system for the 2007–2016 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 is engineered to provide 1-3 inches of adjustable front lift height while significantly increasing wheel travel and damping ability. This system features 2.5 Series front coilovers and 2.5 Aluminum Series piggyback reservoir rear shocks, specifically valved for the GM platform to balance performance across both axles. A key differentiator in this Stage 3 kit is the inclusion of ICON Tubular Upper Control Arms featuring the Delta Joint, specifically designed for small taper (forged steel) factory lower control arm applications.

Features

• 2.5 VS Series Coilovers: Vehicle-specific tuned 2.5” internal reservoir shocks provide increased cooling and damping to ensure superior vehicle control during off-road use.
• Delta Joint UCA: Tubular Steel Upper Control Arms with Delta Joints provide high-angle articulation and durability to ensure long-term reliability and improved suspension geometry.
• 2.5 Aluminum Series Rear Shocks: One-piece impact extruded aluminum cylinders provide excellent corrosion resistance and heat dissipation to ensure consistent damping performance.
• System Durability: CAD plated shock bodies with 7/8 inches shafts and 6061 CNC machined aluminum components provide maximum strength to ensure protection against harsh environments.
• Installation: 100% Bolt-on design provides a straightforward upgrade path with no cutting, drilling, or welding required to ensure a factory-quality fitment.
