ICON - Stage 2 EXP Suspension Lift Kit - 0–2" Lift - Toyota Tacoma 2016-2023

ICON - Stage 2 EXP Suspension Lift Kit 

Upgrade your Tacoma's ride quality, stance, and suspension performance with the ICON Stage 2 EXP Suspension System. The EXP system is designed as a cost-effective step into ICON's 2.5" shock technology while retaining the factory front coil springs.

For Tacoma owners who primarily daily drive their truck but want improved performance for weekend trails, dirt roads, and recreational off-road use, Stage 2 EXP delivers a balanced combination of on-road comfort and increased off-road capability.

Why Choose Stage 2 EXP?

The EXP system is a great choice for Tacoma owners who want more than a basic leveling or spacer kit without immediately stepping into ICON's more expensive complete threaded-body coilover systems.

Unlike the standard ICON Stage 2 system, the EXP front shocks reuse your factory front coil springs.

This helps keep the system more affordable while still giving you ICON 2.5" shock technology and adjustable front ride height.

Best For

• Daily-driven Tacomas

• Weekend trail use

• Dirt and fire roads

• Mild to moderate off-road driving

• Customers upgrading from a spacer or basic leveling kit

• Owners who want to retain their factory front coil springs

• Customers wanting ICON performance at a lower entry price
