New ICON Product: 2005-23 Toyota Tacoma Lower Control Arm Kit

Posted on:

The ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma Lower Control Arm Kit is designed to be the ultimate stock-width replacement control arm upgrade. Their fully welded, boxed, CNC laser cut and brake-formed steel plate construction is internally braced with multiple ribs to offer significantly improved strength over the stock Tacoma LCAs. Featuring a high ground clearance design, specially angled plates also allow the arms to easily slide over larger obstacles out on the trail. CNC machined forged steel ball joint housings maintain the highest possible ground clearance while also ensuring strength and appropriate CV boot clearance on 4WD Tacoma models. Rather than using traditional top-mounted coilover mounting tabs, these LCAs utilize recessed coilover mounts, further increasing strength and provide race-inspired styling. Their incorporated secondary shock mounting tabs tie seamlessly into the ICON S2 Secondary Shock System for a fully bolt-on installation of multiple secondary shock options to effectively double the shock-damping ability of the front suspension and improve off-road performance. To make these arms as much at home on the street as they are on the trail, the lower ball joints are of a metal on metal and greaseable design to avoid the short service life and noises typically associated with uniballs while also being able to withstand the abuses of aggressive off-road use. The inner pivot bushings are bonded polyurethane to the outer sleeve and unbonded inner sleeve to minimize deflection and improve handling characteristics while allowing unhindered suspension movement though the entire travel range. Additionally, these specialty bushings do not require any greasing or other maintenance throughout their service life. With features like these, the ICON 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma Lower Control Arm Kit would make an incredible addition to round out your Tacoma’s suspension system. 54300 05-23 TACOMA LOWER CONTROL ARM HARDWARE KITS (Order Separately): 54301 16-23 TACOMA LCA HARDWARE KIT 05-15 TACOMA LCA HARDWARE KIT KEY FEATURES: High clearance, stock width design Fully welded boxed steel construction with internal ribs for maximum strength CNC laser cut and brake formed steel plate ICON secondary shock compatibility with ICON S2 Shock Hoops (sold separately) Recessed coilover mounting points Pocketed lower plates allow drainage and easy access to coilover mounting hardware Angled front plates and relocated steering stops help arms slide over obstacles and prevent trail hang ups CNC machined forged ball joint housings ensure strength and CV boot clearance Metal on metal, greaseable lower ball joints for longevity and noise free operation Maintenance free bonded polyurethane bushings Semi-gloss black powder coat finish for corrosion resistance Fabricated components covered by ICON’s Limited Lifetime Warranty TECH NOTES: OEM Wheels & Tires Fitment: Yes Recommended Aftermarket Wheels: ICON Alloys - 17x8.5 with 4.75” Backspace / 0mm Offset Recommended Aftermarket Wheels: ICON Alloys - 18x9 with 5.00” Backspace / 0mm Offset Recommended Aftermarket Wheels: ICON Alloys - 20x9 with 5.00” Backspace / 0mm Offset Recommended Aftermarket Tires: 33" x 11.50" (Larger tires may fit but fender trimming and modifications will be required.)

New ICON Product: 2021-Up (Gen 3) Ford Raptor Billet Upper Control Arms with Delta Joint PRO

Posted on:

This ICON billet aluminum upper control arm kit is designed to improve the overall performance of the new Gen3 Ford Raptor with corrected front-end geometry, adjustable camber and caster, and improved suspension component clearance. These are constructed of CNC machined 6061 billet aluminum merging light weight with high strength properties. Replacing the OE ball joint with the ICON Delta Joint PRO allows for full bump and droop travel of the front suspension while eliminating bind. FK Rod End 7/8” heim joints provide precise and smooth function throughout the range of travel while ICON’s signature double adjuster sleeve allows for on-vehicle camber and caster adjustment. Included with all components and hardware necessary for a complete install, these billet UCAs are the perfect upgrade for the 2021-2023 Ford Raptor. Delta Joint PRO is ICON's innovative new suspension articulation joint which combines the durability and longevity of factory-style ball joints with performance and strength that exceeds traditional motorsports-style ball joints. Strength and durability are improved by using a larger ball with 56% more bearing surface than our standard Delta Joint, along with improved lubrication sealing. But improved performance is at the heart of the Delta Joint PRO, with a full 90 degrees of articulation, from one extreme to the other. This represents a 14% improvement in range of motion, over the highly capable original Delta Joint, allowing for maximum bind-free suspension movement through the complete range of travel. The Delta Joint PRO is built to take the abuse, with a chromoly ball and shaft that has a bearing surface hardened to Rockwell C 55. The replaceable races are made of graphite-impregnated sintered metal, machined to the finest tolerance to provide a flawless, metal-to-metal bearing interface. We also redesigned the lubrication system, with lubricant channels that distribute grease more efficiently without extending past the bearing seal. 98564DJ 21-23 RAPTOR BILLET UCA DJ PRO KIT KEY FEATURES: CNC machined 6061 billet aluminum construction with satin anodized finish Corrects suspension geometry and allows for proper wheel alignment on Gen3 Raptors with up to 3” of front lift Quick, precise, on-vehicle adjustment for both caster and camber Patented Delta Joint PRO (U.S. Pat. 10,731,700) allows maximum articulation without binding Delta Joint PRO is 100% serviceable and rebuildable FK Rod Ends at chassis pivots for strength and precision driving characteristics Built in O-ring sealed dust cover cap TECH INFO EM Wheels & Tires Fitment: Yes Recommended Aftermarket Wheels: ICON Alloys - 17" x 8.5" with 5" Backspace/6mm Offset Recommended Aftermarket Wheels: ICON Alloys - 18" x 9" with 5.25" Backspace/6mm Offset Recommended Aftermarket Wheels: ICON Alloys - 20" x 9" with 5.625" Backspace/16mm Offset Recommended Aftermarket Tires: 35X12.50" (Larger Tires May Fit but Fender Trimming and Modifications will be Required) Ride height sensor calibration recommended

A New Era in Wheel Technology | Proudly Introducing RECON PRO featuring InnerLock™ Technology and HALO Wheel Armor The ultimate wheel for any 4X4 truck, Jeep, Bronco or SUV, Recon PRO features InnerLock™ D.O.T.-compliant bead-retention technology, replaceable HALO Wheel Armor and aggressive 16-spoke styling. Recon PRO is initially available in 17 X 8.5" size for popular 5-, 6- and 8-lug applications. Available wheel finishes are Charcoal and Satin Black, and come with preinstalled HALO Wheel Armor in Satin Black, with the option to order replacement armor sets in Satin Black or Raw Aluminum. ICON Technologies: INNERLOCK™ & HALO Wheel Armor InnerLock™ is ICON's patented, D.O.T. Compliant bead retention system, making these wheels legal on the street and a beast off-road. InnerLock™ Technology uses a series of high strength alloy bead retention pins inserted through a thickened section of the wheel to act as a fence to physically prevent the tire bead from being pushed away from the wheel's inner lip. This simple but ingenious solution is patented, lab-tested, and has been trail-proven on the toughest terrain from coast to coast. FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) No.139 Tire Bead Unseat Resistance Test (modified to 10 psi). Results from multiple tests validated the effectiveness of ICON’s InnerLock technology by exceeding the mechanical limits of the machine (over 7600lbs load) without ever de-beading the tire. The all-new HALO Wheel Armor system is intelligently designed with segmented quarters, allowing for convenient and cost-effective replacement of individual segments if they incur damage, such as from rock rash. This unique feature eliminates the need to replace the entire set, providing flexibility and efficiency in maintenance. Moreover, the replacement process is seamless, as HALO segments can be installed or replaced without the necessity of dismounting the tire from the wheel. Crafted from high-grade aluminum, these segments are initially presented in a sleek satin black finish that comes preinstalled on the Recon Pro. However, for those seeking a personalized touch, HALO is also offered in Raw Aluminum as a separate part that can be easily customized through painting or specialized coating in any color, offering a truly unique aesthetic.
