Product Description

The FOX 985-24-162 is a 2.0 Performance Series front smooth body reservoir shock for 2017-2024 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty 4WD trucks. It is designed for owners who want improved front-end damping control, better heat management, and more consistent ride quality than standard replacement shocks can provide, especially on trucks used for towing, hauling, rough-road driving, and off-road travel. The external reservoir increases oil and nitrogen capacity to help maintain damping consistency during repeated suspension cycling.

Verified FOX catalog data confirms front fitment for 2017-2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4WD and 2017-2024 Ford F-350 Super Duty 4WD with 2 to 3.5 inches of front lift. The stated lift amount applies to the front only; rear lift is not provided by this part number. Confirmed technical specs include 9.25 inches of travel, 24.35-inch extended length, 14.70-inch collapsed length, a 2.0-inch aluminum body, 5/8-inch shaft, and eyelet/eyelet mounting.

This part is sold individually, so 2x shocks are typically required for a complete front axle installation. I did not extend fitment to F-450 or F-550 because the trusted sources used in this validation pass consistently identified F-250 and F-350 coverage, but did not provide the same level of consistent confirmation for those heavier Super Duty models on this exact part number.
