Controlled Damping for a Lifted Suzuki Jimny
The FOX 985-24-276 front shock combines vehicle-specific damping with a 2.0-inch aluminum body for a Jimny running 2–3 inches of suspension lift. Its internal floating piston separates the oil and nitrogen chambers to support consistent damping on-road and off-road.
Key Features
- Performance Series smooth-body IFP monotube construction.
- Clear-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum body and black-anodized aluminum components.
- Stem upper mount and eyelet lower mount for the specified axle position.
- Designed for an existing lifted suspension; does not create lift.
