Product Description

The FOX 985-24-279 Performance Series 2.0 Rear Shock is engineered for the 2024-2026 Ford Ranger platform, delivering improved rear suspension control for lifted configurations. Designed for 1.5-2.5 inch rear lift setups, it enhances stability, ride comfort, and load handling performance both on-road and off-road.

Built with FOX's proven Internal Floating Piston (IFP) technology and a 2.0-inch aluminum body, this shock maintains consistent damping by separating nitrogen gas from shock oil, reducing fade during demanding driving conditions. The mono-tube construction improves heat dissipation and response, ensuring predictable handling under varying loads and terrain.

With application-specific valving tuned to the Ford Ranger chassis, this shock provides improved rear-end control, reduced bounce, and better overall vehicle balance. It is ideal for drivers upgrading suspension for off-road use, overlanding, or enhanced daily driving performance.
