Product Description

The FOX 883-26-170 Performance Elite 2.5 rear reservoir shock kit is engineered for the 2024-2026 Ford Ranger platform to deliver improved rear suspension control, heat management, and ride quality. It replaces the factory rear shocks while retaining the OEM leaf spring system, making it a direct performance upgrade for daily driving and light off-road use.

This system features FOX's 2.5-inch aluminum shock body paired with an external reservoir to increase oil capacity and reduce fade during extended or demanding driving conditions. The DSC EVO adjuster allows independent tuning of compression damping, while VVC technology improves high-speed impact absorption without sacrificing comfort over small bumps.

Designed for factory-height and mildly leveled trucks, this shock system enhances stability, improves rear axle control, and delivers more consistent performance under load. It is ideal for drivers looking to improve ride quality, towing stability, and off-road capability without major suspension modifications.
