Product Description

The FOX 980-24-649 2.0 Performance Series Rear Shock is engineered to upgrade the rear suspension performance on lifted Ford Rangers. Featuring FOX's Internal Floating Piston (IFP) mono-tube design, this shock separates high-pressure nitrogen gas from the shock oil to prevent aeration and deliver consistent damping across varied terrain and load conditions. The precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminum body improves heat dissipation and resists corrosion for long-lasting durability.

Designed for Ford Rangers from 1998-2013 with 2"-3" of rear lift, the 980-24-649 enhances ride control, suspension articulation, and stability whether you're tackling off-road trails or cruising on pavement. Its race-inspired valving and high-flow piston deliver a predictable, controlled ride quality that's ideal for performance-focused drivers seeking improved comfort and handling.
