Fox 2.0 Series Dual Shocks (4x)
Improve ride quality and capability with the FOX 2.0 performance series IFP shocks. Specially designed for BDS lift systems, these FOX 2.0 aluminum body shocks offer improved cooling capacity and corrosion protection. These shocks use race-proven vehicle-specific valving along with an internal floating piston (IFP) monotube design to separate the shock oil from high-pressure nitrogen to eliminate aeration and maximize performance on/off-road.
Note:
- This kit is designed to work with vehicles that have the BDS long arm system installed.
- This kit requires shocks in the stock location or appropriate limiting straps to avoid hanging the front axle from the dual shock cylinders.
- If the correct stock location shocks are not installed or limiting straps are not used, order 2 stock location shocks and 4 bracket location shocks with this system.

IMPORTANT: Upgrading to our sway bar disconnect kit (122413) will change the installation process for this system. Installation changes are clearly outlined in our instructions.
Notes:
- Works with 3-8" of lift
- Not for use with any other sway bar relocation brackets. The sway bar needs to be mounted in stock location on the frame.
- It will not work with 03-08 BDS 8" kits that have the sway bar relocation brackets at the axle or any other kit that does not have the factory axle mount bracket intact
- Inverted 'T' steering found on 08.5+ trucks is high recommended for steering-to-sway bar link clearance on 03-08 trucks. Do not vary from shock length listings. Max extended length is 25-1/4" for 3" lift, 30" extended for 8" lift
