Product Description

The FOX 985-24-122 Performance Series 2.0 Reservoir Shock is engineered for classic Land Rover platforms, including the Defender, Discovery I, and Range Rover models. It is designed to enhance front suspension performance while maintaining compatibility with stock-height or lightly lifted vehicles.

Built around FOX's race-proven Internal Floating Piston (IFP) technology and an external reservoir system, this shock delivers consistent damping performance by separating oil and nitrogen gas, reducing fade during extended off-road or heavy-load use. The 2.0-inch aluminum body improves heat dissipation and durability compared to traditional steel shock absorbers.

This application-specific shock is tuned for Land Rover chassis dynamics, improving ride control, stability, and articulation across rough terrain. It is ideal for restoration builds, overland setups, and drivers seeking improved performance without sacrificing factory ride characteristics.
