Key Features

  • 2.0in Aluminum Body: Lightweight construction dissipates heat 3x faster than steel for sustained damping in demanding use.
  • 9.6in Travel: Extended length 25.04in compressed 15.43in suits 2-3.5in and 3-4.5in lifts with top stem and bottom eyelet mounts.
  • Smooth Body Design: Honed aluminum bore reduces friction for smoother action and longer seal life.
  • 2.0in aluminum body with clear anodizing internal polymer bushings and high-grade oil for corrosion resistance and smooth operation.
  • IFP Technology: Internal Floating Piston keeps oil and gas separated to prevent cavitation and maintain performance under heat.
  • Bolt-on replacement requires basic tools and 2-4 hours per side.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will FOX 980-24-643 fit my 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee?
That year-make-model is listed, but the trim, drivetrain, suspension package, position, lift height, production split, and every application note must also match.

Follow the current FOX instructions and vehicle service information for this exact part number.

Generation and Build Configuration Identify JK or JL explicitly for a 2018 Wrangler, and record two-door or four-door body and trim. Year alone does not establish which generation’s parts are needed. For modified vehicles, document lift height, wheel dimensions, tire size and axle changes. Use the installed configuration when checking mounting and clearance. Installation and Supporting Components For suspension work, compare required travel, geometry, brake-line routing and supporting parts. Review the complete kit and specified alignment procedure rather than assuming every lift has the same contents.
