The Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series is celebrated globally for its blend of luxury and rugged capability, adept at navigating both city streets and challenging off-road terrains. However, for enthusiasts seeking to maximize its performance in demanding environments, particularly off-road, the stock suspension of the 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser can benefit from significant enhancements. ICON Vehicle Dynamics offers a comprehensive solution with its Stage 2 suspension system, engineered to dramatically improve the Land Cruiser 300 Series’ overall handling and off-road prowess.
At the heart of the Stage 2 system are the ICON VS 2.5 Series remote reservoir front coilovers, specifically designed for the 2022-2023 Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series. These adjustable coilovers provide a lift height adjustability of 1-3 inches over stock, accommodating larger, more aggressive tire and wheel combinations. ICON’s vehicle-specific valving and shock length, combined with the robust 2.5” shock body, ensure maximum suspension travel and superior ride quality both on and off the pavement. The remote reservoirs significantly increase the shock oil volume, enhancing heat dissipation and preventing cavitation under strenuous conditions, thus mitigating damper fade. This results in consistent and reliable performance, crucial for demanding off-road adventures and ensuring a comfortable ride during daily commutes.
The system includes ICON billet aluminum upper control arms, meticulously engineered to optimize the front-end geometry of the 2022-2023 Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series. These control arms enhance on-vehicle camber and caster adjustment and improve clearance for suspension components, contributing to more precise handling and alignment. Furthermore, the incorporation of the ICON Delta Joint PRO, a serviceable and rebuildable ball joint, replaces the OE ball joint to allow for the front suspension’s full bump and droop travel, eliminating binding and ensuring smooth, unrestricted movement throughout the suspension cycle.
Complementing the front coilovers are the 2.5 Aluminum Series rear remote reservoir shocks, custom-tuned for the 2022-2023 Land Cruiser 300 Series. The larger diameter of these shocks delivers exceptional off-road performance while maintaining a comfortable on-road ride. The remote reservoirs again play a vital role in maintaining consistent damping performance by increasing oil volume and promoting cooler operating temperatures during intense use. Notably, these rear shocks feature an internal Bump Zone, which adds an extra 20% of damping force during hard impacts, providing enhanced control and preventing harsh bottom-outs. The synergy between the ICON VS 2.5 Series front coilovers and the 2.5 Aluminum Series rear shocks ensures balanced vehicle control from front to rear, significantly elevating the overall driving experience of your Toyota Land Cruiser 2022, whether on rugged trails or city streets.
