Product Description

The FOX 885-06-147-2 front coil-over shock pair brings a major suspension upgrade to 2016-2025 Can-Am Defender UTVs. Swapping out stock emulsion shocks for these 2.0" piggyback-reservoir QS3 coil-overs significantly improves damping consistency, ride comfort, and control - especially under load, on rough trails, or over washboard terrain. The adjustable spring preload and QS3 compression settings let you fine-tune the ride to your specific needs - whether you're carrying heavy loads, hauling gear, or riding solo on rough off-road paths.

Built with durable hard-anodized aluminum bodies and 5/8" chromed shafts, these shocks are engineered to resist wear, heat-induced fade, and seal failure - ideal for demanding off-road environments. With Teflon-lined spherical bearings and rebuildable internals, the 885-06-147-2 shocks also offer long-term reliability and serviceability. For Defender owners seeking a more controlled, stable, and tunable ride - whether for work, hunting, rock-crawling, or recreational off-roading - this front coil-over kit delivers a clear performance advantage over stock suspension.
