FOX 2.5 Performance Series Universal Smooth Body IFP HTO Shock - 8.1in. Travel - Eyelet Ends
The FOX 2.5 Performance Series Universal Smooth Body IFP HTO Shock, designed for drivers who demand consistent control and durability in every condition. This shock stands out by delivering race-proven damping that handles rough terrain while maintaining a smooth ride on pavement, making it the reliable pick for custom builds where precision matters most. Built with position-sensitive technology and vehicle-tuned valving, it absorbs impacts better than standard options, reducing bounce and improving stability for trucks and SUVs in off-road or daily driving scenarios.
Key Features
- Race-Inspired Design: Incorporates high-flow velocity-sensitive damping for quick response to road changes, ensuring your vehicle stays planted during high-speed runs or uneven trails.
- Durable Construction: 2.5-inch impact-extruded 6061-T6 aluminum body with Type II clear-anodized plating resists corrosion and dissipates heat effectively for long-lasting performance.
- Advanced Internal Components: Features a 5/8-inch hard chrome shaft for smooth operation, an Internal Floating Piston (IFP) that separates oil from nitrogen to prevent cavitation, and Hydraulic Top-Out (HTO) technology that slows rebound speed to avoid harsh bottoming out ideal after adding larger tires or lifting your setup.
- Bolt-On Simplicity: No external reservoirs or adjusters needed, just install and go for immediate gains in damping capacity and ride quality.
