Make Every Mile Smoother On And Off Road

If your lifted Ram tackles rough terrain and daily commutes alike, the FOX 985-24-023 Performance Series 2.0 IFP Shock is built to bring comfort and control to every mile. Whether you're cruising highways or carving through trails, this front shock is designed to handle the demands of 4–6 inch lift setups on 1994–2013 Ram 2500 and 1994–2012 Ram 3500 4WD models. It offers a more predictable ride over uneven roads while still keeping your front end responsive and in control. FOX uses its race-proven damping to absorb harsh impacts without sacrificing road feel, making your truck more enjoyable to drive in any condition. The lightweight aluminum body keeps temperatures in check while the internal floating piston keeps the oil and nitrogen separate for consistent performance. It installs easily in place of your factory or aftermarket front shocks, giving you a hassle-free upgrade with noticeable results. This shock isn’t just for the hardcore off-roader, it’s for anyone who expects their lifted truck to ride better than stock.

Engineered For Lifted Rams That Work Hard

The FOX 985-24-023 shock absorber is a high-performance front shock built specifically for 4–6 inch lifted Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 4WD trucks from 1994 through 2013. It features a 2.0-inch 6061-T6 aluminum body that’s been metal impacted for strength and heat dissipation, then clear anodized to fight corrosion. Inside, FOX’s Internal Floating Piston design separates high-pressure nitrogen from the shock oil, eliminating aeration and delivering fade-free damping even in demanding environments. The shock also includes a race-developed high-flow piston paired with application-specific valving that matches the dynamics of your Ram’s suspension. The 5/8 inch hard chrome-plated alloy steel shaft resists wear, while FOX’s JM92 suspension fluid provides reliable performance through a wide range of temperatures. Quiet nitrile rubber bushings reduce noise and allow full articulation without compromising durability. With direct-fit mounting points including the SM3 top and ES7 bottom, this shock is a precise and reliable upgrade for serious drivers who expect real performance from their suspension.
