Installation Manual for ICON 58632 05-Up Tacoma Front 2.5 Exp Coilover

Quick guide from the manual

This document provides installation instructions for the ICON 58632 05-Up Tacoma Front 2.5 Exp Coilover. Installation is estimated to take 3-4 hours and should be performed by a professional technician. The coilover assemblies come factory charged to 250 PSI; do not release nitrogen pressure as this may cause shock malfunction and void the warranty.

Tools required

• Jack and jack stands
• Pliers and circlip retaining ring pliers
• Pry bar and ratchet
• Cutoff wheel
• Coil spring compressor
• Sockets/Wrenches: 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm, 19mm

Installation procedure

Preparation: Raise the front of the vehicle, support with jack stands, and remove front wheels. Remove the 4 bolts holding the front skid plate (12mm), sway bar linkage (17mm), front cross members (17mm), and sway bar brackets (14mm).

Removal: Remove the tie rod from the spindle. Remove the 3 nuts from the top of the factory coilover mount (14mm) and the lower coilover mounting bolt and nut (19mm). Remove the factory coilover from the vehicle.

Assembly: Use a spring compressor to remove the factory coil spring. Press the factory bushing out of the upper mount and into the new ICON upper mount. Install the supplied circlip into the desired groove on the new shock. Slide the ICON coil seat over the shock, install the factory rubber isolator, and place the coil spring onto the new shock. Compress the spring to install the upper mount and tighten the nut.

Installation: Modify the ABS/Brake line bracket by cutting the larger portion at the bend to clear the larger coilover. Install the new ICON coilover, aligning the 3 studs with the frame mount. Reinstall the sway bar, tie rod, and wheels. Torque all fasteners to factory specifications.

Coilover adjustment

The ride height is adjustable by moving the circlip to different grooves on the shock body. Groove 1 provides stock height, while Groove 5 provides a 2-inch lift. Refer to the groove specifications diagram for exact lift measurements.

• Street/Dirt: Factory service every 15,000 miles. Check nitrogen pressure each dirt outing.
