Construction & Design

The FOX Factory Series shock features a robust construction with high-grade materials engineered for durability and performance. The remote reservoir increases oil volume, which helps dissipate heat more effectively during extended off-road use, reducing shock fade. The shock body is crafted from lightweight yet strong aluminum alloy, providing excellent strength-to-weight ratio while resisting corrosion.

Internally, FOX employs precision valving technology that delivers consistent damping characteristics across a wide range of speeds and conditions. The DSC adjustment system allows drivers to independently tune low-speed and high-speed compression damping, enabling a customized ride that balances comfort with control. The shock’s sealed design is nitrogen-charged to prevent aeration and maintain smooth operation under extreme conditions.

This FOX Factory Series front shock is designed for direct bolt-on installation on Jeep Wrangler JK models from 2007 to 2018 with specified V6 engines, requiring no modifications to the vehicle’s suspension components. Installation can typically be completed with basic hand tools and standard mechanical knowledge. For optimal performance, it is recommended to have the shocks installed by a professional or experienced technician familiar with off-road suspension systems.
