Construction & Design

The FOX 2.0 Performance Series shock features a robust design with high-quality materials engineered for longevity and consistent performance. The internal floating piston separates the nitrogen gas from the shock oil, preventing aeration and ensuring smooth damping throughout the shock’s travel. This technology minimizes fade during extended use, maintaining reliable shock absorption whether on pavement or off-road.

Precision-machined components and corrosion-resistant finishes contribute to the shock’s durability, allowing it to endure the rigors of heavy-duty truck applications. The 11.1-inch stroke length is carefully calibrated to match the front suspension travel of Dodge Ram trucks, ensuring optimal ride height and suspension articulation.

This FOX front shock is designed as a direct replacement for the factory front shocks on Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models from 1994 through 2013. Installation requires standard hand tools and basic mechanical knowledge, with no modifications necessary. The shock mounts to existing factory mounting points, making the upgrade straightforward and efficient.

Proper installation will restore or improve front suspension performance, delivering enhanced ride comfort and handling precision. It is recommended to replace shocks in pairs for balanced suspension dynamics.
