The more robust solution is a hydro-pneumatic bump shock or "air bump". ICON's hydraulic bumpstop uses oil and nitrogen to do two tasks: function as a spring and a shock. An internal nitrogen charge is compressed when the air bump is compressed to act as a spring, similar to the OEM bumpstop. The difference is hydraulic air bumps are adjustable and can be tuned to have low impact forces at the beginning of the travel, and ramp theoretically to infinity at the end. Unlike the factory bumpstop, ICON's hydraulic bumpstop incorporates oil along with a damping piston internally to control the amount of energy that is returned to the suspension, reducing the vehicles tendency to kick. The oil and damping piston also control the compression of the air bump relative to speed which is important for Raptors hitting obstacles at extreme speeds.
Installation Instructions
- Linear-digressive piston which compliments a bumpstop over the industry standard linear-linear piston. Infinite tuning options with valve stack, oil volume, and nitrogen pressure adjustments
- Designed for increased leaf spring clearance so there is no loss in up travel with stock or aftermarket springs
- Clamshell brackets strengthen frame in critical areas preventing frame damage from extreme off road use
- Velocity sensitive hydraulic bumpstop increases the amount of energy absorbed the faster it is hit
- Cross member and tension rods stabilize frame rails and prevent twisting under hard impacts
- Comfortable on road manners with sufficient damping capability under extreme load
- Integrated adjustability for future ICON Raptor specific products
- Easy bolt on installation without having to remove the truck bed
- Increases frame rigidity and improves overall vehicle dynamics
- Bumpstop striker pad does not require leaf spring disassembly
- 6061 Solid billet cross bar that is polished & anodized
- Hydro-pneumatic bumpstop increases bump energy capacity
- Reduces rear end kick and improves overall performance
- Pre-tuned and Nitrogen charged for most Ford Raptors
- Urethane rod seal and wiper for long service life
- CAD Plated body for corrosion free service
- Industry first billet cross beam
- User serviceable and tunable
