Product Description

The Fox Factory 985-24-045 Performance Series 2.0 Smooth Body Internal Floating Piston (IFP) Front Shock is engineered for the front suspension of 1997-2003 Ford F-150 models and the 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage. Designed for stock height and lifted trucks with up to about 2" of front lift, this 2.0" shock provides a performance upgrade over standard stock shocks. The IFP system separates shock oil from high-pressure nitrogen, helping minimize aeration and deliver consistent damping performance across a variety of driving conditions.

The aluminum body and precision machining improve heat dissipation and corrosion resistance for long-lasting operation. With race-developed high-flow pistons and application-specific valving, the 985-24-045 offers balanced ride quality and improved terrain control while maintaining comfort on paved roads. Sold individually, this direct-fit shock is ideal for Ford F-150 owners seeking enhanced performance and handling without major modifications.
