People often ask how ICON develops such revolutionary performance suspension systems. The answer might surprise you. ICON engineers start by determining a desired outcome of the vehicle they are working on. By studying forces and their effect on the vehicle in motion (Vehicle Dynamics) they can determine what improvements can be made. They determine how they can improve drivability of the vehicle, how to improve the handling characteristics and what changes can be made to improve the vehicle in real world situations. The result of all this study is the highest quality and performing suspension products in the world. What also sets ICON products apart is their incredible commitment of time and energy dedicated to both ride development and testing. From vehicle dynamic theory to their years of experience and involvement in off road racing, rock crawling and just about anything you can do with a vehicle on or off the road. ICON engineers are in control and the driving force of the entire ICON product line and manufacturing processes. This is made possible through laser cutting, metal forming, CNC machining, welding and assembly is done in house. With a reputation built on quality, performance, and service ICON Vehicle Dynamics is a top choice for performance suspension systems and shock absorbers for the most popular trucks and SUV’s on the market.

What is the purpose of a strut bar or tie bar?
A strut bar is also referred to as a strut tower bar, strut tie bar, and tie bar. Upper strut bars reduce strut tower flex by tying the two strut towers together. This transfers the load from each strut tower during cornering, which “ties” the two towers together. The lower tie bars, or lower strut bars, improve the handling and steering response of the vehicle by reducing movement of the control and trailing arms and stiffening the subframe. These products are most noticeable during hard cornering.
