Construction & Design

FOX Performance Series shocks are crafted from robust materials engineered to withstand harsh environments and heavy-duty use. The smooth body design not only enhances the shock’s aesthetic appeal but also minimizes dirt and debris buildup, contributing to longer-lasting performance. The internal floating piston (IFP) separates the oil and nitrogen gas inside the shock, preventing aeration and ensuring consistent damping response throughout the shock’s stroke.

Each shock is precision-engineered with high-grade seals and components that resist wear and corrosion, making them ideal for both daily driving and off-road adventures. The valving is specifically tuned to complement the Ram 3500’s suspension characteristics, delivering a controlled yet comfortable ride.

Installation of the FOX 2.0 Performance Series Front Shock is straightforward for vehicles with a 2 to 3.5-inch front lift. These shocks are designed as direct replacements for the front suspension of 2014–2016 Ram 3500 trucks equipped with 5.7L Hemi, 6.4L 392, or 6.7L Diesel engines, requiring no additional modifications. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper torque specifications and alignment, maximizing the shock’s performance and longevity.
