Construction & Design

The FOX Performance Series Rear Shock features a robust smooth body tube constructed from high-strength steel, providing excellent resistance to impact and environmental damage. The internal floating piston design separates the nitrogen gas from the hydraulic fluid, preventing aeration and ensuring consistent damping performance throughout the shock’s stroke. Precision-machined components and premium seals minimize fluid leakage and contamination, enhancing reliability and longevity.

FOX engineers have carefully calibrated the valving to deliver a smooth, controlled ride on pavement while maintaining firm, responsive handling off-road. The shock’s durable construction and corrosion-resistant coating make it well-suited for the demanding conditions faced by Dodge Ram trucks, from daily driving to heavy-duty work and off-road adventures.
