ICON 86535 0-1.5" Lift Rear 2.0 VS IR Shock for 2016-2023 Nissan Titan XD

Vehicle Fitment

• 2016-2023 Nissan Titan XD (S, SV, PRO-4X, SL, Platinum Reserve | Crew Cab | 5.6L Endurance V8 Gas | 2WD & 4WD)
• 2016-2019 Nissan Titan XD (S, SV, PRO-4X, SL, Platinum Reserve | Crew Cab, King Cab, Regular Cab | 5.6L Endurance V8 Gas | 2WD & 4WD)
• 2016-2019 Nissan Titan XD (S, SV, PRO-4X, SL, Platinum Reserve | Crew Cab, King Cab, Regular Cab | 5.0L Cummins V8 Turbo Diesel | 2WD & 4WD)

Fitment Notes

• Compatible with 0-1.5" of rear lift on Nissan Titan XD.
• The 5.0L Cummins V8 Turbo Diesel engine was available on the Titan XD only through the 2019 model year; 2020-2023 Titan XD models use the 5.6L Endurance V8 gas engine exclusively.
• Regular Cab and King Cab configurations were discontinued after the 2019 model year; 2020-2023 Titan XD is Crew Cab only.
• Sold individually. A quantity of 2 is required for a complete rear axle installation.
• For those using their vehicle in extreme off-road situations, consider upgrading to the ICON V.S. 2.5 Series rear shock for additional durability and performance.
• This part number covers the Titan XD (heavy-duty frame) only. It does not fit the standard Titan (half-ton platform).

Features

• Vehicle-specific (V.S.) valving engineered specifically for the Nissan Titan XD platform to deliver optimal ride quality and damping performance on and off-road
• Nitrogen-charged monotube design with internal reservoir (IR) prevents oil aeration and maintains consistent fade-free damping under sustained hard use
• One-piece linear/digressive piston design provides compliant low-speed damping for daily comfort while ramping up control at high shaft velocities for off-road performance
• 5/8" chrome-plated hardened steel shaft resists corrosion and surface pitting for long-term durability
• 6063 hard-anodized aluminum body and reservoir tubing provides superior heat dissipation, excellent corrosion resistance, and a premium high-tech appearance
• 6061 aluminum rod end, top cap, and internals deliver exceptional strength-to-weight performance and long service life
• Polyurethane bushings, zinc-plated sleeves, and forged steel mounting stems engineered for OE factory-type fitment and noise-free operation
• Nitrile rubber top-out bumper for quiet, smooth operation at full extension
• 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable for long-term serviceability and future tuning flexibility
• Premium grade 5WT shock oil for consistent suspension damping performance across a wide operating temperature range

Product Description

The ICON 86535 is a V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series rear shock absorber engineered specifically for the 2016-2023 Nissan Titan XD. Designed to support 0-1.5" of rear lift, this shock is vehicle-specifically tuned by ICON engineers to match the unique weight, geometry, and performance demands of the Titan XD's heavy-duty platform - a truck intentionally built to bridge the gap between half-ton and heavy-duty capability. Unlike generic off-the-shelf shocks with one-size-fits-all valving, the 86535 delivers a tuned balance of on-road comfort and off-road control that the factory shock simply cannot match.

The nitrogen-charged monotube design with internal reservoir separates the oil and gas charges to prevent foaming and aeration during aggressive or sustained use, maintaining consistent damping output even during demanding off-road driving or loaded towing situations. The one-piece linear/digressive piston provides plush low-speed compliance for daily driving while progressively firming up at higher shaft velocities to control body roll, pitch, and dive in demanding conditions. The 6063 anodized aluminum body and chrome-plated hardened steel shaft are built to withstand the elements, making the 86535 a reliable upgrade for both trail use and daily hauling. Like all ICON shock absorbers, the 86535 is 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable, providing long-term value beyond a typical disposable shock.

The 86535 is a component in multiple ICON Stage suspension systems for the 2016-2023 Titan XD, including the Stage 1 system, and is compatible with both gas and diesel (2016-2019) Titan XD models across all available cab styles and all trim levels from S through Platinum Reserve. It is sold individually and fits both 2WD and 4WD configurations - two shocks are required for a complete rear installation. For Titan XD owners who want a meaningful upgrade in ride quality and rear damping performance without stepping up to the 2.5 Series, the ICON 86535 represents an ideal entry point into the ICON suspension ecosystem.
