Product Description

The Fox 985-24-161 2.0 Performance Series front reservoir shock is engineered to improve suspension performance for lifted Ford Super Duty trucks with up to about 1.5" of front lift. Built with an external reservoir that increases nitrogen and oil capacity, this shock improves heat management and maintains consistent damping whether driving off-road or on pavement. The Internal Floating Piston (IFP) design keeps gas separate from shock oil to reduce aeration and help deliver smooth, predictable control under varied conditions.

Constructed with a rugged 2.0" impact-extruded 6061-T6 aluminum body and finished in clear anodizing, the 985-24-161 resists corrosion and dissipates heat efficiently for long service life. Race-tuned valving and a high-flow piston work together to provide enhanced ride quality and improved handling for daily driving, towing, or off-road use. Sold individually with a billet aluminum reservoir clamp included, this front shock is ideal for owners seeking a direct-fit performance upgrade for lifted front suspension setups on Ford Super Duty trucks.
