ICON Vehicle Dynamics K22101 2.5in Lift Kit Stage 1 for 20-25 Jeep Gladiator JT
Many states have laws that limit the maximum height of a lifted vehicle. Never exceed the legal height limit.
Stage 1: ICON Vehicle Dynamicsﾒs Stage 1 2.5in Lift Kit features dual-rate coil springs in the front, and coil spacers in the rear. Dual-rate coil springs make for a smooth, reliable ride even under heavy articulation off-road. Paired with ICON's 2.0 VS IR shocks, rear sway bar relocation kit, and front sway bar links, this simple lift kit is designed to perform.
Stage 2: The Stage 2 lift kit gives you everything from the Stage 1, but with the added benefit of ICON's rear dual-rate coil springs.
Stage 3: In addition to all of the components from the Stage 2 kit, the Stage 3 also includes fixed length front lower control arms for improved suspension flex and handling.
Stage 4: By front and rear adjustable track bars, the Stage 4 kit features all the benefits of the Stage 3, but with the ability to precisely center the axles under your Jeep. Correct axle alignment improves handling and ride comfort, while reducing harshness and unnecessary wear.
Stage 5: The Stage 5 lift kit includes front upper, rear upper, and rear lower adjustable control arms. The adjustable rear control arms are available with either a Billet or Tubular construction.
Stage 6: The Stage 6 lift features all of the components of the Stage 4, but with ICON's 2.5 VS remote reservoir shocks. Remote reservoir shocks can handle heavy off-road abuse because of their improved cooling and reduced shock fade.
Stage 7: By taking the Stage 5 kit and adding ICON's 2.5 VS remote reservoir shocks, the Stage 7 is a high-performance lift. Just like the Stage 5, the adjustable rear control arms are available with either a Billet or Tubular construction.
Stage 8: Just like the Stage 5 & Stage 7 kits, the Stage 8 includes all control arms, track bars, and dual-rate springs. However, this kit includes ICON's 2.5 VS RR CDCV shocks. Compression Damping Control Valves (CDCV) allow you to adjust the shock oil flow with the twist of a knob.

ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2.5in Lift Kit Reviews
READ BEFORE BUYING ADVERTISED LIFT HEIGHT IS NOT ACCURATE!
Purchased for installation in September 2023 on a 2020 JT Rubicon because the kit was intended to lift and also level the truck due to having a combination of 2.5” and 1.5” front and rear springs. I didn’t want a taller lift because I wasn’t planning on going larger than 35’s. I liked the idea that the shocks were designed around the springs and not off the shelf shocks like with some other kits. My truck is equipped with ARB bumper and winch (no problem per tech notes). When installed on truck only netted 1.75” of lift in the front and 0.75” of lift in the rear (barely 50% of advertised lift height). Through tedious back and forth with ICON I (and they) discovered that they had designed the front spring around the JL wrangler released in 2018 and did not modify the spring or product advertisement at all for the gladiator (which is 600 lb heavier than wrangler) but still advertised the same lift height…The rear spring was designed around early JT gladiator Launch Edition trucks which did not have a factory rake… So, for a JT Rubicon, do not expect to see anywhere near ICON’s advertised lift height. For a JT Mojave it might actually sit lower after installing! ICON would not allow a return and did absolutely nothing to rectify their poor representation of this kit. If I had it to do over I buy a kit from someone more reputable in the jeep world. Overall I was very disappointed with the product and ICON’s response to my concerns.
