Fox 15-20 Ford F150 2WD 2.0 Performance Series Front Coil-Over Snap Ring 0-2in Lift

Snap Ring Simplicity Meets Race-Proven Damping

The Fox 985-62-008 Performance Series 2.0 Snap Ring Coil-Over reworks front suspension on 2015-2020 Ford F-150 2WD trucks without the cost or complexity of a full coilover conversion. A custom-molded spring seat lets the shock reuse the factory spring and mounting hardware, while a 2.0in impact-extruded aluminum body and internal floating piston (IFP) design deliver the damping consistency that defines Fox's Performance Series lineup. Three snap ring positions give owners a choice of 0in, 1in, or 2in of front lift from the same shock, making 985-62-008 a straightforward upgrade for daily drivers who want sharper on-road control and a cleaner stance without touching the rest of the front end.

Key Features

• 2.0in Impact-Extruded Aluminum Body: CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum, clear-anodized for corrosion resistance and faster heat dissipation than a stock steel twin-tube shock
• Internal Floating Piston (IFP): Separates nitrogen gas from shock oil to prevent aeration and fade during repeated compression cycles
• Custom-Molded Spring Seat: Reuses the factory spring and top mount, keeping install straightforward and cost-effective
• Three Snap Ring Preload Settings: Choose 0in, 1in, or 2in of front lift from a single shock body
• Race-Developed Piston and Application-Specific Valving: Tuned specifically for the 2015-2020 F-150 2WD front axle for balanced on-road comfort and off-road control
• Redundant Sealing Pack: Main seal, wiper seal, and scraper seal work together to keep contaminants out over the life of the shock

About Fox

Fox builds suspension components with a racing pedigree that carries directly into its street and off-road product lines. Every Performance Series shock uses the same internal floating piston technology and application-specific valving philosophy that Fox develops for championship-level off-road racing, then tunes it for daily-driven trucks. The result is a shock that is fully serviceable, re-valveable, and backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty for the original owner.

Frequently Asked Questions

The 985-62-008 is a Fox Performance Series 2.0 Snap Ring Coil-Over shock built for the front, 2WD-specific application of the 2015-2020 Ford F-150. It uses an internal floating piston design and a custom-molded spring seat that reuses the factory spring, giving 0-2in of front lift from three snap ring preload positions.

No. This shock is built specifically for 2WD F-150 models. 4WD trucks of the same generation use Fox part number 985-62-009, which has a different length and valving to match the 4WD front axle.

This listing is for one front shock, sold individually. Most installers replace both front shocks at the same time for even ride height and matched damping side to side.

No. The custom-molded spring seat is designed to reuse your factory spring and top mount hardware, which keeps the install straightforward and avoids the added cost of a full coilover conversion.

A professional wheel alignment is recommended anytime front ride height changes, including when moving between the 0in, 1in, and 2in preload settings on this shock.

Lift height is set by which snap ring groove the spring seat sits in during assembly, so changing preload later requires disassembling the shock and spring with a proper spring compressor rather than an on-vehicle adjustment.

Fox backs this shock with a Limited Lifetime Warranty covering manufacturing defects for the original owner when the product is installed and used as intended.

Yes. Like all Fox Performance Series shocks, the 985-62-008 is fully serviceable and re-valveable rather than a sealed, disposable unit.

Install Instructions

1. Lift and secure the vehicle following standard shop safety procedures, then remove both front wheels.
2. Disconnect the sway bar link from the lower control arm on both sides of the vehicle and retain the OEM hardware.
3. Disconnect the upper control arm ball joint from the spindle and note the orientation of the top mount and spring for reinstallation.
4. Remove the OEM coil-over assembly using a professional spring compressor rated for this application.
5. Select the snap ring groove that matches your desired lift height, then position the snap ring, spring seat, and lower seat onto the new Fox shock body.
6. Use a professional spring tool to install the factory spring, top mount, and jounce bumper onto the Fox shock assembly, keeping the Fox decal seam oriented toward the center of the vehicle.
7. Torque the Fox-supplied center nut to 20 ft-lbs.
8. Install the completed coil-over assembly onto the vehicle in reverse order of removal, applying thread locker and torquing all fasteners to OEM specification, with the bar-pin-to-lower-control-arm bolts torqued to 50 ft-lbs.
9. Perform a visual suspension check to confirm all fasteners are torqued and steering has full clearance through lock-to-lock travel.
10. Schedule a professional wheel alignment before returning the vehicle to regular use.
