2.0 Fox Air Shocks Fox 2.0 Air shocks are a good light-weight and cost effective alternative to coilover suspension. Fox air shocks use a 1.25" shaft to displace the nitrogen's volume, which creates the extreme pressures necessary to provide spring force. Fox air shocks provide 1.15 pounds of spring force for every pound of nitrogen pressure from 50-500 psi. Fox Air shocks are adjustable in pressure range and compression ratio via the addition and reduction of oil. We recommend these on light-weight vehicles or rockcrawlers. Disadvantages of Fox Air shocks are the reliance of high pressure gas containment, single spring rates, significantly reduced oil capacity, and difficult adjustment and tuning. These shocks must be mounted upright as extreme camber situations can produce undesirable performance. But for the right application these shocks are simple and effective.
