ICON - Stage 2 EXP Suspension Lift Kit - Tundra 2022-Current
ICON Stage 2 EXP Suspension System
Designed for 2022–current Toyota Tundra owners who want a meaningful upgrade in ride quality, suspension travel, alignment capability, and trail performance without stepping into a full remote-reservoir coilover system, the ICON Stage 2 EXP package delivers a balanced, vehicle-specific suspension solution for daily driving, overland travel, and weekend trail use.
The system combines rebuildable 2.5-inch EXP front shocks with the Tundra’s factory coil springs, matched 2.0-inch aluminum rear shocks, sway-bar correction brackets, and your choice of tubular-steel or billet-aluminum front upper control arms. This Stage 2 configuration improves suspension geometry at lifted ride heights while maintaining predictable road manners and factory-like serviceability.
EXP Performance Without Replacing the Factory Springs
ICON’s EXP front shocks bridge the gap between basic spacer lifts and premium threaded-body coilovers. Their large 2.5-inch aluminum bodies provide increased oil capacity and consistent damping while reusing the original front coil springs and mounting hardware. Multiple snap-ring positions allow the front ride height to be tailored to the truck’s trim, equipment, and desired stance.
The rear of the truck receives vehicle-specific 2.0-inch aluminum monotube shocks with internal reservoirs. Their tuning complements the front EXP dampers for improved body control, reduced excess motion, and a composed ride over broken pavement, washboard roads, and moderate trail obstacles.
Choose Your Upper Control Arms
Tubular
The tubular configuration uses high-strength steel upper control arms with built-in caster correction. It is an excellent choice for owners who prioritize traditional off-road construction, durability, and value. Serviceable high-articulation joints help eliminate suspension bind and allow the front suspension to use its available bump and droop travel.
- Approximately 2–3 inches of front lift on most compatible models
- Approximately 3–4 inches on compatible SR5 models equipped with the TRD Sport suspension package
- Durable tubular-steel construction with corrosion-resistant finish
- Corrected geometry and additional caster for improved drivability
Billet
The billet configuration upgrades the front control arms to CNC-machined aluminum. These premium arms provide excellent strength and corrosion resistance, distinctive machined styling, and convenient on-vehicle camber and caster adjustment. They are ideal for owners who want maximum alignment flexibility and a refined appearance.
- Approximately 0–3 inches of front lift on most compatible models
- Compatible SR5 models with the TRD Sport suspension package may achieve approximately 1–4 inches
- On-vehicle camber and caster adjustment for precise alignment
- Premium machined-aluminum construction

Wheel and Tire Guidance
- Compatible factory wheels and tires may be retained.
- A commonly recommended aftermarket setup is a 17 x 8.5-inch wheel with approximately 5.75 inches of backspacing and a +25 mm offset.
- Up to 35 x 12.50-inch tires may fit with the proper wheel specifications; minor trimming or other vehicle-specific modifications may be required.
- Final tire clearance must be checked at full steering lock and throughout the complete suspension travel range.
Important Fitment Notes
- Designed for compatible 2022–current Toyota Tundra models.
- Not compatible with TRD Pro models.
- Not compatible with factory load-leveling rear air suspension.
- Not compatible with Adaptive Variable Suspension-equipped vehicles.
- Four-wheel-drive trucks without the TRD Off-Road package may require a differential-drop solution or compatible factory axle components.
- Trucks with automatic-leveling headlights may require an additional correction bracket.
- Trucks equipped with the factory aluminum skid plate may require an additional spacer solution.
- Actual lift height varies with trim, engine, accessories, cargo, and installed vehicle weight.
- Advanced Driver Assistance Systems require professional recalibration after installation.
Professional Installation Recommended
Installation should be completed by an experienced suspension professional. A full alignment, fastener recheck, sway-bar and brake-line clearance inspection, tire-clearance verification, and recalibration of affected driver-assistance systems should be completed before normal road use. Confirm the selected control-arm configuration against the truck’s exact trim, drivetrain, rear suspension, and factory equipment before ordering.
