What is the benefit of the remote reservoir?

The remote reservoir holds extra oil, which helps keep the shock cooler under heavy use. This improved cooling leads to more consistent damping performance and can prevent shock fade.

Can I adjust the settings on this shock absorber?

Yes, this FOX coil-over shock is designed to be tunable. You can adjust the valving to better suit your driving style and the terrain you encounter, and it's also fully serviceable for rebuilding.

What does '100% Serviceable' mean for this shock?

It means that the shock absorber can be taken apart, cleaned, and rebuilt. This allows you to replace worn internal parts and re-tune the shock's damping characteristics, extending its lifespan significantly.

Product Details

The 7/8-inch diameter shaft on this FOX 2.5 Factory Series coil-over shock is made from 17-4 H900 stainless steel, a material chosen for its strength and resistance to bending. This shock absorber is built using technology directly from FOX's off-road racing experience, offering improved ride quality and damping performance for your truck or SUV. It's designed to be a direct bolt-on upgrade, meaning you can install it without major modifications to your vehicle's suspension.

The body of the shock is constructed from durable, zinc-plated seamless alloy and features black anodized CNC-machined aluminum components for a solid build. It includes a redundant sealing system to ensure long-lasting performance and a Teflon-lined, heat-treated spherical bearing for smooth operation. The remote reservoir, connected via a rotatable piggyback bridge, allows for increased oil capacity and better heat dissipation, which is crucial for maintaining consistent damping performance during demanding use. Because these shocks are 100% serviceable and tunable, you can adjust them to your specific needs and rebuild them for extended service life.

This coil-over shock absorber is packed with 35 years of race-winning technology, aiming to give you a noticeable improvement in how your vehicle handles rough terrain. The custom valving is developed to provide a balanced feel between on-road comfort and off-road capability.
