Its aluminum body dissipates heat more efficiently than conventional steel construction, while the race-developed main piston and durable sealing system support dependable performance in harsh environments. Black anodized CNC-machined components, heat-treated spherical bearings, and a powder-coated seamless alloy body provide lasting durability.

Built to be serviceable and tunable, this FOX Performance Series shock is designed for long-term use and can be rebuilt when service is required. The shock is engineered for the vehicle-specific application and is intended for front installation on compatible 2WD Ford F-150 models.
