21-23 Ford Bronco ICON 48700E Front, 1.5-4” Lift, 2.5 VS RR/CDEV Coilover Kit
The ICON 48700E Front Coilover Kit with CDEV (Compression Damping Electronic Valves) is the ultimate suspension upgrade for the 2021-2023 Ford Bronco, designed to provide superior ride quality and performance. With adjustable lift heights ranging from 3-4” for non-Sasquatch Broncos and 2-3” for Sasquatch-equipped Broncos, this kit allows for the use of larger, more aggressive wheel and tire combinations. ICON’s vehicle-specific shock length and valving, combined with the larger 2.5” shock body and increased piston area, offer maximum travel for improved on- and off-road performance. Remote reservoirs enhance shock oil volume and heat dissipation, preventing damper fade during extended off-road use. ICON’s exclusive CDEV technology enables precise electronic shock tuning, allowing for on-the-fly adjustments via the ICON Intelligent Control (IIC) app. The system actively monitors terrain and vehicle movement, making near-instant adjustments to optimize ride quality. When paired with ICON 2.5 Series rear coilovers, the vehicle achieves balanced suspension control for the best driving experience possible.
