When General Motors introduced their new line of heavy-duty trucks in 2020 with the motto of being tougher, stronger, and more capable, ICON Vehicle Dynamics designed their suspension systems with this mindset in mind. Using their holistic engineering approach, ICON's R&D team created multiple stages of suspension systems to improve adjustability, capability, and overall vehicle performance. The Stage 3 system is made up of V.S. 2.5 Aluminum Series remote reservoir shocks with ICON's Compression Damping Control Valve, offering 10 different settings to suit any driving style or condition. The system also includes tubular Delta Joint upper control arms for added strength and durability. The specially-tuned 2.5" diameter shocks provide superior ride quality, while the remote reservoirs keep them at a cooler operating temperature during heavy use. The ICON upper control arms also improve alignment and increase wheel travel by 2" when combined with extended travel shocks.
This system features upper control arms with ICON's patented Delta Joint. The Delta Joint is a heavy-duty high angle ball joint that combines the durability of a ball joint with the performance characteristics of a traditional uniball. While the industry standard uniball does a great job of allowing the control arms of a vehicle to articulate with little bind, they do have an inherent weakness that leaves more to be desired when used in a daily driven application - exposure to the elements. The Delta Joint features a zinc plated housing providing the first layer of corrosion resistance, while a tough grease seal keeps potentially harmful elements out of the inner workings of the joint. Metal on metal construction and a greaseable design increase the longevity of the Delta Joint while at the same time allowing for noise-free operation. What makes the Delta Joint unique is that it brings the best of both worlds to ICON upper control arms with features that make it more robust than a uniball, and at the same time capable of greater angularity than a typical ball joint.
