Fox Shocks

Fox Shocks are the finest quality shock absorbers available. We recommend Fox Shocks above other brands because you get more for your money than from any other racing shock manufacturer. How does Fox Shocks provide this? Simple. They are the the largest off road racing shock manufacturer around so they can keep their costs down by buying in bulk. Other off road racing shock manufacturers make their shocks to order. Doing this costs more and to stay competitive the other manufacturers must find less attractive ways to keep their costs down. An example of Fox Shocks superior quality is Fox Racing Shocks use of stainless steel shafts. No other company uses stainless shafts in all the shocks they make (except for the 4130 air shock shafts). Fox has been making off road shocks for over 30 years, and with exceptional quality, Fox Shocks is simply leaving the competition behind.

Below we have given a brief overview of the benefits and drawbacks of each type of Fox Shock. If you have other questions or need further information please contact us! You can call us at 619-298-4455 or by email at Michael@Offroad-Engineering.com

		Fox Shocks - 2.0 Pro-Series Non-Coilover Emulsion Shocks Fox Emulsion Shocks are best suited for light duty applications. It is very important to keep the shock mounted as close to vertical as you can. There is no IFP to keep the oil separated from the high pressure nitrogen, and you can run into performance problems in extreme off camber situations. For a street driven application they are more than enough, but in off road conditions that subject the shocks to excessive heat from use, a reservoired shock is recommended. A 7/8" shaft will help give more resistance to compression and act more like an air spring than the 5/8" shaft, but is heavier and more expensive.

		Fox Shocks - 2.0 Pro-Series Non Coil Over Shocks w/Reservoir Fox 2.0 Reservoir Shocks are the highest quality in light duty racing shocks. Reservoirs are designed to increase the oil capacity. This increase in oil capacity prevents the shock oil from overheating and breaking down. When shock oil overheats the damping effect of the shock is lessened. So to insure consistent handling and performance a reservoir is an excellent feature. We recommend these for light vehicles individually or on heavier vehicles with more than one shock per corner. Fox reservoir shocks can be mounted at any angle as the IFP in the reservoir keeps the oil and nitrogen separated. The larger diameter 7/8" shaft helps resist compression and works more like an air spring than the 5/8" shaft. But while the larger shaft is stronger it is also heavier and more expensive.

		Fox Shocks - 2.0 Pro-Series Non-Coil Over Shocks w/ Piggyback Reservoir Fox Piggyback Shocks are a compact and good looking version of the remote reservoir model. They are a light duty shock best suited for the customer looking for a little extra "Bling, bling." Fox piggyback shocks feature a reservoir able to rotate 360 degrees around the body for fitment into many types of vehicles. One drawback that is less obvious of these shocks is that the oil flows less efficiently thru to and from the reservoir than the remote reservoir model. So for those who want maximum performance out of this type of damper we recommend the remote reservoir fox shocks. The fox piggyback shock has the option of a 5/8" or 7/8" shaft. The 7/8" shaft resists compression and acts like an air spring more than the 5/8" shaft. The disadvantage of the larger shaft is the additional weight and price.

		Fox Shocks - 2.0 Pro-Series External Bypass Shock Fox 2.0 Bypass Shocks are a work of art. We recommend these for anyone interested in maximizing performance on a lighter weight vehicle. The main benefit of a bypass shock is multi-stage valving. With dual rate coil over suspension becoming the norm more drivers are realizing that a single damper cannot perform well for each spring rate. So with the switch to multi rate springs comes multi rate valving. As with all external bypass shocks the oil bypasses the piston head inside the shock by flowing thru the external tubes. The external adjustment is adjusted by an allen bolt on the end of the tubes that opens or closes a needle and seat type valve. This regulates the flow of the oil and thereby the rate of "Bypass" Fox 2.0 Pro-Series 10" Travel 2 Tube External Bypass w/Piggyback Reservoir - .875" Shaft Fox 2.0 Pro-Series 12" Travel 2 Tube External Bypass w/Piggyback Reservoir - .875" Shaft Fox 2.0 Pro-Series 14" Travel 2 Tube External Bypass w/Piggyback Reservoir - .875" Shaft Fox 2.0 Pro-Series 16" Travel 2 Tube External Bypass w/Piggyback Reservoir - .875" Shaft


		Fox Shocks - 2.0 Pro-Series Airshox 1.25" Shaft (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. Fox 2.0 Air Shock Non Coil Over 4" Travel w/ 1.25" Shaft Fox 2.0 Air Shock Non Coil Over 4.5" Travel w/ 1.25" Shaft Fox 2.0 Air Shock Non Coil Over 5.5" Travel w/ 1.25" Shaft Fox 2.0 Air Shock Non Coil Over 8.5" Travel w/ 1.25" Shaft Fox 2.0 Air Shock Non Coil Over 10" Travel w/ 1.25" Shaft Fox 2.0 Air Shock Non Coil Over 12" Travel w/ 1.25" Shaft Fox 2.0 Air Shock Non Coil Over 14" Travel w/ 1.25" Shaft Fox 2.0 Air Shock Non Coil Over 16" Travel w/ 1.25" Shaft Fox 2.0 Air Shock Non Coil Over 18" Travel w/ 1.25" Shaft


		Fox Shocks - 2.0 Pro-Series Coil Over Emulsion Shocks Fox 2.0 Emulsion Coil Over Shocks are high quality light duty suspension components. These shocks are perfect for the light buggy or rockcrawler suspension. These can even be run in tandem with a bypass for your racing suspension. The coil carrier design, featuring a 1.25" shaft, is the ultimate in strength, but is meant to function primarily as a spring in conjunction with another damper. Fox Coilovers feature all the hardware necessary for dual rate suspension and come in many sizes. As with all emulsion shocks they need to be mounted upright or extreme camber situations can cause undeisrable performance. Fox coil overs also offer an optional 7/8" shaft which resists compression and acts more like an air spring than the 5/8" shafts. The downside of using the larger shaft is the extra weight and cost.

		Fox Shocks - 2.0 Pro-Series Coil Over Shock w/Remote Reservoir Fox Shocks 2.0 Coil Over Reservoir shocks are the ultimate in light duty performance. These shocks suit the widest variety of applications ranging from sand rails to extreme rockcrawlers. The benefit of running a reservoir shock is the ability to mount it at any angle and configuration with consistent performance. Not only does the reservoir add extra oil capacity and thus increase the duty of the shock, but the IFP in the reservoir separates the nitrogen from the oil completely. 2.0 coil overs also boast the widest range of spring rates available, so you are sure to be able to find something to work for your application. All Fox Coilovers come complete with all necessary hardware, just add springs! Fox offers 5/8" shafts or the heavier duty 7/8" shaft shock which helps resist compression and work more like an air spring. All Fox coil overs over 10" travel utilize 7/8" shafts for added strength.

		Fox Shocks - 2.0 Pro-Series Coil Over Shocks w/Piggyback Reservoir Fox 2.0 Coil Over Piggy Back Reservoir Shocks are an excellent light-duty coil over shock. As with the remote reservoir version the piggyback reservoir model offers additional oil capacity and comes in many sizes. The unique function of Fox's piggyback models are the ability of the reservoir to swivel 360 degrees around the shock body for ease on fitment. We recommend these shocks for light weight vehicles, rockcrawlers, or on vehicles looking for a little extra "Bling, bling." The disadvantage of the piggyback shocks are a decrease in performance due to inefficient flow of oil to and from the reservoir and of course the cost. But they certainly give the installation a finished look. All Fox 2.0 piggy back shocks come with dual rate hardware and have the option of the 5/8" or the 7/8" shaft which works more like an air spring than the 5/8" shaft. All Fox Coil Overs over 10" travel utilize a 7/8" shaft.

		Fox Shocks- 2.5 Pro-Series Non Coil Over Shock w/Reservoir Fox 2.5 Reservoir Shocks are an excellent heavy duty damper. With the significantly increased oil volume and the large diameter piston head these shocks can do the equivalent work of two 2.0 shocks! The added benefit of running one 2.5 vs. two 2.0 shocks are the decrease in wearing parts as well as significantly heavier duty hardware. Unlike other brands of racing shocks Fox only has one level of product quality, the best! No corners are cut to meet a certain price, as Fox makes so many of these the price is naturally lower than the competitions price point product. These can be run on just about any type of vehicle. For something that will hold up a vehicle you might consider 2.5 Fox Air Shocks or 2.5" Fox Coil Overs as these are dampers only. Buy once, buy right, buy the best!

		Fox Shocks - 2.5 Pro-Series Air Shocks New from Fox Racing Shox is the 2.5" Fox Air Shock. These heavy duty and still light-weight shocks boast heavy duty hardware like the huge 1.625" shaft, but in the typical compact airshock design. We recommend these shocks for anyone considering the standard 2.0 air shocks who might be concerned about duty or the heavy weight of their vehicles. Like all Fox 2.5" Racing Shocks these Air Shocks are top quality. More technical data will follow as the new technology develops. Keep in mind that the same disadvantages that affect the 2.0 Air Shocks are a problem for the 2.5's. A simple misconception is that air shocks are easily adjustable. There is not a way to separately adjust ride height or spring rate. Compression ratio is adjusted via the addition and subtraction of oil, and like all emulsions the shock must be mounted as vertical as possible to prevent undesirable performance in extreme off camber situations. For the right application these are an excellent alternative to coil over suspension.

		Fox Shocks - 2.5 Pro-Series Coil Over Emulsion Shocks Fox 2.5 Coil Over shocks are an excellent heavy duty product. We recommend these for customers who are thinking of going with dual shocks but don't want the hassle of more than one shock. These shocks work well on most types of suspension, but like all emulsion shocks they need to be mounted as close to vertical as possible to prevent undesirable performance in extreme off camber situations. Another drawback of the non reservoir model is less cooling capacity, which is important when driving for extended periods of time. But for the right application these will usually be more than enough.

		Fox Shocks - 2.5 Pro-Series Coil Over Shock w/Reservoir Fox 2.5 Coil Overs are some of the most versatile heavy duty off road shocks available. Fox uses nothing but the best in their product, and the 2.5 series is proof positive. We recommend these for anyone looking to go with a durable and user friendly coil over for high performance applications. 2.5" Fox Shocks are able to produce the equivalent work of two 2.0 shocks. This is beneficial because mounting, tuning, and maintaining more than one shock can be time consuming. All Fox 2.5 Coil Overs come complete with dual rate hardware, just add springs! We don't recommend these for vehicles with less than 200 lbs. per corner. Buy once, buy right, buy the best!

		Fox Shocks - 2.5 Pro-Series Dual Rate Coil Over Shock w/Piggyback Reservoir Fox Dual Rate Piggyback Coil Overs are a good mix of performance and style. We recommend these shocks for anyone looking for a high quality heavy duty coil over with a little extra "Bling, Bling." For Those looking for maximum performance we would recommend the remote reservoir model as the piggyback reservoir doesn't let oil flow into and out of the reservoir as efficiently. The compact design and clean profile make these shocks both functional and good looking.
