Product Details
When you're pushing your vehicle to its limits off-road, whether it's hitting big jumps in the desert or navigating challenging rock crawling terrain, having suspension that can keep up is crucial. The FOX 3.5 Factory Race Series External Bypass Shock is built to handle that kind of punishment, offering consistent damping performance and control when you need it most.
This shock absorber features a robust 3.5-inch body and a 16-inch stroke, designed for serious off-road applications. The standout feature is its external bypass design with five tubes, allowing for highly tunable damping. This means you can precisely adjust how the shock behaves in different situations – providing a softer feel over small bumps while still offering firm control during large impacts or high-speed events. The custom valving option lets you tailor the shock's response even further to your specific vehicle and driving style. Plus, it's rebuildable and serviceable, so you can maintain its performance for the long haul.
This is a high-performance shock absorber built for extreme off-road use. Because it's designed for custom applications, it's important to ensure it's the right fit for your suspension setup. Proper installation and setup are key to unlocking its full potential.
