Construction & Design

The FOX Perf Series Smooth Body IFP Rear Shock is constructed with premium materials engineered for rugged use. The smooth body design reduces the risk of debris accumulation and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance in harsh environments. The internal floating piston separates the nitrogen gas from the shock oil, preventing aeration and maintaining consistent damping throughout the shock’s stroke. This design enhances shock responsiveness and reduces fade during extended off-road use or heavy towing.

Each shock is precision-engineered with durable seals and robust components to withstand the high loads and stresses typical of heavy-duty Ram 3500 trucks. The valving is carefully calibrated to provide a smooth, controlled ride without sacrificing the ability to handle rough terrain.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the FOX Perf Series Rear Shock is straightforward for professional mechanics or experienced enthusiasts. It is a direct replacement for the factory rear shocks on 2014 to 2016 Ram 3500 SRW models with 5.7L, 6.4L, or 6.7L engines. No additional modifications are required for vehicles with up to 1.5 inches of lift. The shock mounts to existing factory mounting points, ensuring a secure and proper fit.

For optimal performance, it is recommended to replace shocks in pairs and inspect other suspension components during installation.
