What Does Stage 7 Add Over Stage 6?

The major upgrade from K53056T Stage 6 to K53057T Stage 7 is adjustable compression damping.

Stage 6 already includes:

• Extended Travel Remote Reservoir front coilovers

• Tubular Delta Joint upper control arms

• Tubular rear lower links

• Tubular rear upper links

• Adjustable rear track bar

• 2" rear coil springs

• 2.5 Remote Reservoir rear shocks with Bump Zone

Stage 7 upgrades the shocks to:

• ICON 58745C Extended Travel CDCV front coilovers

• ICON 57810CP CDCV rear remote reservoir shocks

The Compression Damping Control Valve allows compression damping to be adjusted quickly and easily without tools.

This gives the driver the ability to change suspension feel based on:

• Street driving

• Trail driving

• High-speed dirt roads

• Washboard roads

• Rock crawling

• Added cargo

• Camping and overland equipment

• Towing or additional vehicle load

• Personal ride preference

ICON Compression Damping Control Valve – CDCV

The defining feature of Stage 7 is ICON's Compression Damping Control Valve technology.

CDCV allows the driver to make quick changes to shock compression damping without removing or disassembling the shocks.

Increasing compression damping can provide a firmer, more controlled feel for aggressive driving or heavier vehicle loads.

Reducing compression damping can provide a softer, more compliant response over rough or slower-speed terrain.

Because Stage 7 includes CDCV on both the front and rear shocks, suspension damping can be tuned more comprehensively than with lower ICON stages.

Adjustable 0-3.5" Front Lift

The ICON Stage 7 front coilovers provide 0 to 3.5 inches of adjustable front lift on a stock-equipped vehicle.

This allows you to tune front ride height based on your desired stance, tire size and vehicle configuration.

Unlike a basic spacer lift, the ICON system replaces the factory front suspension with performance coilovers designed to improve:

• Ride quality

• Shock damping

• Suspension travel

• Vehicle control

• Off-road performance

• Front ride height

Front Lift Range: 0-3.5"

ICON notes that published coilover lift heights are based on a stock-equipped vehicle. Added weight from bumpers, winches, skid plates and other accessories can affect actual ride height.

Extended Travel CDCV Remote Reservoir Front Coilovers

K53057T uses ICON 58745C Extended Travel 2.5 Series Remote Reservoir CDCV Coilovers.

These coilovers provide increased front suspension droop and wheel travel while the remote reservoirs increase shock oil volume and improve heat management.

The addition of the CDC Valve allows the driver to adjust compression damping without tools.

Key features include:

• 2.5-inch shock body

• Extended Travel design

• External remote reservoirs

• CDCV compression adjustment

• Increased shock oil volume

• Enhanced cooling

• Improved resistance to shock fade

• Vehicle-specific shock tuning

• Adjustable 0-3.5" front lift

• Increased front droop travel

• Corrosion-resistant CAD-plated shock body

• Heavy-duty 7/8-inch shock shaft

• 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum CNC-machined components

• FK Rod End bearings

• Fully serviceable construction

ICON Tubular Upper Control Arms

The K53057T Stage 7 system includes ICON 58451DJ tubular steel upper control arms.

These heavy-duty UCAs are designed to complement the Extended Travel front coilovers and provide the articulation required when increasing front suspension travel and ride height.

The tubular control arms provide a strong and durable alternative to ICON's billet UCA design while retaining the performance benefits of the ICON Delta Joint.

ICON Delta Joint

The tubular upper control arms use ICON's patented Delta Joint.

The Delta Joint combines the durability of a heavy-duty ball joint with increased angularity similar to a traditional uniball.

Features include:

• Heavy-duty high-angle design

• Greater angularity than a typical ball joint

• Metal-on-metal construction

• Greaseable design

• Zinc-plated housing for corrosion resistance

• Protective grease seal

• Helps keep dirt, water and contaminants away from internal components

• Designed for quiet operation

• Excellent for daily-driven and off-road vehicles

Tubular Rear Lower Links

The K53057T includes ICON 54000T tubular steel rear lower links.

These links replace the factory lower links with substantially stronger components designed for lifted and off-road applications.

Benefits include:

• Heavy-duty tubular steel construction

• Increased strength compared with OE rear links

• Adjustable rear pinion angle

• Improved rear suspension geometry

• Correct roll-steer geometry

• Low-maintenance multi-durometer bushings

• Improved on-road and off-road handling

Tubular Rear Upper Links

The system also includes ICON 54100T tubular steel rear upper links.

Together with the lower links, these components provide much greater control over rear suspension geometry than the factory fixed-length arms.

Benefits include:

• Heavy-duty tubular steel construction

• Increased strength compared with factory upper links

• Additional rear suspension adjustment

• Works with the lower links to optimize pinion angle

• Improved rear axle geometry

• Designed for demanding on-road and off-road use

Adjustable Rear Track Bar

ICON Stage 7 includes the 54200 Adjustable Rear Track Bar.

Lifting a solid-axle vehicle can cause the rear axle to shift laterally because the factory track bar remains a fixed length.

The adjustable ICON track bar allows the rear axle to be properly centered underneath the vehicle after the suspension has been lifted.

Benefits include:

• Adjustable rear axle placement

• Helps center the axle after lifting

• Improved rear suspension geometry

• Heavy-duty construction

• Works with the ICON upper and lower links as a complete rear suspension system

Complete Rear Suspension Adjustment

The combination of:

• Tubular rear lower links

• Tubular rear upper links

• Adjustable rear track bar

allows the installer to fine-tune:

• Rear pinion angle

• Rear axle placement

• Rear suspension geometry

• Rear handling characteristics

This makes Stage 7 more than simply a shock and spring lift—it provides a comprehensive suspension geometry upgrade.

2" Rear Lift Coil Springs

The K53057T includes ICON 52700 2-inch rear lift coil springs.

These springs complement the adjustable front suspension and provide additional rear ride height while maintaining balanced front-to-rear suspension performance.

2.5 Remote Reservoir CDCV Rear Shocks

Stage 7 uses ICON 57810CP 2.5 Aluminum Series Remote Reservoir CDCV rear shocks.

Rear shock features include:

• 2.5-inch aluminum shock body

• External remote reservoirs

• Compression Damping Control Valve

• Tool-free compression adjustment

• Increased shock oil volume

• Enhanced cooling

• Improved resistance to shock fade

• Vehicle-specific tuning

• Designed for 1-3 inches of rear lift

• ICON Bump Zone technology

• Fully serviceable construction

ICON Bump Zone Technology

The rear shocks also feature ICON's Bump Zone technology.

Bump Zone significantly increases damping during the final 2 inches of compression travel.

As the rear suspension approaches full compression, the additional damping helps slow axle movement before the suspension reaches the end of its travel.

This helps:

• Reduce harsh bottom-out

• Improve suspension control

• Absorb larger impacts

• Maintain better vehicle composure

• Provide a more controlled ride over varying terrain

Remote Reservoir Shocks Front & Rear

Stage 7 uses 2.5 Series Remote Reservoir shocks at both the front and rear.

The increased shock oil volume and enhanced cooling help maintain consistent damping during prolonged suspension cycling.

Combined with CDCV adjustment, this makes the K53057T particularly well suited for:

• Aggressive trail driving

• High-speed off-road use

• Washboard roads

• Overlanding

• Rock crawling

• Extended backcountry travel

• Heavily modified vehicles

• Vehicles with changing cargo loads

• Drivers who want adjustable suspension performance
