The FOX Performance Series 2.0 IFP Front Shock, part number 985-24-164, is engineered for lifted 2005–2019 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks. Designed for applications with approximately 5.5 to 7 inches of lift, this shock absorber uses vehicle-specific valving to improve ride control, reduce body sway, and deliver predictable handling on pavement and off-road terrain.

Its aluminum body helps dissipate heat more efficiently than conventional steel shock bodies, supporting consistent performance during demanding use. A race-developed main piston and true internal floating piston separate the gas and oil to help reduce aeration and maintain fade-resistant damping. The externally mounted reservoir further improves heat management, making this FOX shock well suited for drivers who demand reliable control during towing, trail driving, and rough terrain.

FOX builds the 985-24-164 with black anodized, CNC-machined aluminum components and a corrosion-resistant finish for durability in harsh environments. The shock is fully serviceable, allowing it to be maintained and rebuilt over its service life. An aluminum reservoir clamp is included for a secure installation. This front shock is intended for compatible lifted Ford Super Duty applications and should be installed as part of a properly matched suspension system.
