Construction & Design

Built with premium materials and engineered for rugged off-road use, the FOX Performance Elite Series shocks feature a 2.5-inch diameter shock body crafted from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum. This material offers an optimal balance of strength and weight savings, while the anodized finish provides excellent corrosion resistance in harsh environments.

The external reservoir design increases fluid capacity, which helps dissipate heat more effectively during extended off-road runs, reducing shock fade and maintaining consistent damping. Internally, FOX’s advanced valving system delivers precise control over compression and rebound forces, allowing drivers to adjust the shock’s behavior to their preference or trail conditions.

Installation & Fitment

These front shocks are designed as direct replacements for the factory shocks on Jeep Wrangler JL models from 2018 to 2026 and Gladiator JT models from 2020 to 2024 with lift heights ranging from 0 to 1.5 inches. Installation requires no major modifications and can typically be completed using standard hand tools. The adjustable features allow for easy tuning after installation to optimize ride quality and handling.
