ICON's Torsion Relocation System allows the factory torsion bar to remain in the factory location giving the center of the vehicle maximum ground clearance. The Stage 3 GM 2500HD/3500 6-8" system adds ICON tubular steel uniball upper control arms which increase the front suspension travel, giving you superior overall performance & handling compared to any other available suspension.
