Description
Durable, Heat-Dissipating Aluminum Body The shock body is crafted from impact-extruded and CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum, offering superior heat dissipation and preventing rust. The clear-anodized finish adds an extra layer of protection, ensuring long-lasting durability even in harsh environments. This lightweight but durable construction helps the shocks maintain consistent performance during prolonged or intense use.
Advanced Internal Floating Piston (IFP) Technology The Internal Floating Piston (IFP) mono-tube design inside the shock separates the shock oil from the nitrogen-charged gas chamber, preventing oil aeration. This ensures consistent damping performance, even during rough terrain driving. Combined with race-developed high-flow pistons and application-specific valving, the Performance Series 2.0 IFP shock delivers a stable, controlled ride on various surfaces.
Designed for Rear Lifted Vehicles This model is ideal for trucks or SUVs with rear lift heights between 0-1.5 inches. With a travel distance of 9.12 inches, the shock provides ample suspension articulation, improving both ride quality and vehicle control on rugged terrain while maintaining a smooth ride on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How does the FOX Performance Series 2.0 IFP Shock improve vehicle performance?
A: These shocks use FOX’s race-proven damping technology and Internal Floating Piston (IFP) design to separate the shock oil from nitrogen gas, preventing oil aeration. This ensures consistent damping, improved handling, and a smoother ride on both paved roads and off-road terrains.
Q: What are the benefits of the aluminum body construction?
A: The 6061-T6 aluminum body dissipates heat four times faster than steel, helping to prevent shock fade during prolonged use. Additionally, the aluminum body is rust-resistant, ensuring long-term durability in harsh environments. The clear-anodized finish adds an extra layer of protection against corrosion.
Q: Can these shocks be used on lifted vehicles?
A: Yes, the FOX Performance Series 2.0 IFP Shock is designed for vehicles with rear lift heights of 0-1.5 inches. It is ideal for trucks or SUVs with moderate lifts. Always verify your vehicle’s lift height to ensure proper fitment.
Q: How does the IFP (Internal Floating Piston) technology work?
A: The IFP design separates the shock oil from the nitrogen gas chamber, preventing oil aeration. This ensures consistent damping performance, improving handling, control, and ride comfort, particularly in off-road conditions.
Q: Are these shocks suitable for off-road driving?
A: Yes, the Performance Series 2.0 IFP Shocks are designed to handle off-road conditions while maintaining on-road comfort. The race-developed piston and application-specific valving provide superior stability and control on rugged terrain.
Q: What vehicles are compatible with these shocks?
A: The FOX Performance Series 2.0 IFP Shock, part number 985-24-227, is designed for vehicles with rear lift heights of 0-1.5 inches. It is not compatible with leaf spring models, so ensure your vehicle meets the fitment specifications before purchasing.
Q: How do these shocks perform when towing or carrying heavy loads?
A: The robust design and race-developed high-flow piston provide improved stability and control when towing or carrying heavy loads, reducing vehicle sway and maintaining consistent performance even under significant weight.
