Construction & Design

The FOX 2.0 Performance Series Rear Shock features a robust smooth body design crafted from high-strength materials to endure the rigors of heavy-duty and off-road applications. The internal floating piston (IFP) technology separates the oil and nitrogen gas inside the shock, preventing aeration and ensuring consistent damping performance under extreme conditions.

Each shock is engineered with precision valving calibrated to provide a comfortable ride on pavement while delivering firm, controlled handling off-road. The smooth body finish not only enhances corrosion resistance but also reduces friction for improved shock longevity and reliability.

Installation of the FOX 2.0 Performance Series Rear Shock is straightforward for experienced mechanics and enthusiasts familiar with suspension upgrades. These shocks are designed to fit directly onto Ram 3500 trucks lifted between 2 and 3.5 inches without requiring additional modifications. Proper installation ensures optimal suspension geometry and performance.

Always verify compatibility with your specific Ram 3500 model year and engine configuration before installation to guarantee a perfect fit and maximum performance benefits.
