ICON’s New Suspension Systems Will Complete Your 2019 Silverado

New suspensions for Silverado 1500s add 35% more front-wheel travel, room for bigger wheels.

What’s one of the biggest upgrades you can make to your Chevy truck or SUV of choice? One that everyone will notice right off the bat? If you said ‘the suspension,’ you’ve got it down. The right components can make or break your rig, especially when it comes to lifting the truck to fit the wheel-and-tire combo of your dreams in order to make your treasured machine the baddest rig on the trail, bar none.

Where can you turn for such an upgrade? ICON Vehicle Dynamics of Riverside, California. The suspension pros have worked their magic to deliver a range of complete systems for owners of 2019 Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 models

The new 2.5 Series front coilovers and 2.0 Aluminum Series rear shocks provide combined give your 2019 Silverado 1500 25% more front-wheel travel while adding the right amount of performance and reliability no matter what you do or where you go. There are four overall stages, where the more advanced suspension systems use tubular steel or billet aluminum front upper control arms to provide up to 35% more front-wheel travel, perfect for fitting the big tire-and-wheel combo you’ve always wanted.

Since the new Silverado was built from the ground-up, so, too are ICON’s new suspensions systems, making sure everything works as they’re supposed to, and beyond. Just have a look at the video of the company’s own Silverado Z71 to see what they’ve done.

Their Silverado Z71 takes the big jump like a champion, carrying on like nothing happened. It also has no trouble flinging around dirt, delivering some of the loveliest brown rooster tails captured on camera. And if that’s what it can do on the trail, you know it’ll be smooth sailing on the highways back home.

Pricing for ICON’s complete assortment of suspension systems for the 2019 Silverado and Sierra 1500 range from $1,805.84 for the basic Stage 1 upgrade, to $4,252.19 for the Stage 4 setup. The systems are available through ICON right now.
