Product Description

The Fox 985-24-081 2.0 Performance Series rear shock is designed to improve rear suspension performance on classic Land Rover platforms including Defender, Discovery I, and Range Rover Classic with 1.5-3.5" lift setups. Its Internal Floating Piston (IFP) technology separates high-pressure nitrogen gas from the shock oil, reducing aeration and ensuring consistent damping performance across on-road and off-road conditions. The race-developed high-flow piston and precision-tuned valving provide controlled rebound, improved traction, and predictable handling on varied terrain.

Constructed from durable 2.0" impact-extruded CNC-machined aluminum, the 985-24-081 resists corrosion and dissipates heat efficiently. Clear-anodized finish and hardened steel shaft further enhance durability. Sold individually, this rear shock is ideal for off-road enthusiasts and restorers seeking a direct replacement or performance upgrade for their classic Land Rover rear suspension. Factory mounting hardware is reused for installation.
