What is a remote reservoir coilover shock?

A remote reservoir coilover shock has an external reservoir connected to the main shock body. This reservoir holds extra fluid, which helps keep the shock cooler under heavy use and allows for more consistent damping performance. The coilover aspect means the spring is mounted directly onto the shock body, creating a single, integrated suspension unit.

Can I rebuild this shock myself?

Yes, this Fox shock is designed to be owner serviceable and rebuildable. This means you can perform maintenance, replace seals, or re-valve the shock yourself if you have the necessary tools and knowledge, extending its lifespan and allowing for custom tuning.

What kind of maintenance does this shock require?

Regular inspection for leaks and damage is recommended. The manufacturer specifies that the shock is rebuildable, so periodic servicing with appropriate seals and fluids, as outlined in the owner's manual, will be necessary to maintain optimal performance over time.

About this part

Product Details

This Fox 2.5 Performance Elite Series coilover shock assembly includes the main shock body with a 14-inch stroke, a remote reservoir for increased fluid capacity and cooling, and a 7/8-inch hard chrome-plated steel shaft. It's designed to handle serious punishment and deliver consistent damping performance, whether you're hitting jumps in the desert or navigating challenging rock climbs. The coilover setup means the spring and shock work together as one unit, simplifying installation and ensuring proper spring rate for your vehicle's suspension.

Fox puts a lot of work into developing suspension that can take a beating and keep performing reliably. This particular shock uses JM92 MIL-SPEC oil, which is specifically formulated for the demands of off-road racing. The body is made from a zinc-plated seamless alloy, and many of the components are CNC machined from black anodized aluminum, giving it a solid build that's also owner serviceable and rebuildable. The 7/8-inch hard chrome-plated steel shaft is built tough to resist wear and corrosion.

Because this is a high-performance component, it's a good idea to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding mounting and setup. Proper installation is key to getting the most out of this race-proven suspension technology.
