Smooth Control, Serious Cooling, Built for the Long Haul

If you're looking to tighten up the rear end of your 1994–2003 Ram 2500 or 3500, the FOX 980-24-945 Performance Series 2.0 Smooth Body Reservoir Rear Shock is a rock-solid upgrade. Designed to handle lifted trucks running 2 to 3.5 inches of rear lift, this shock brings FOX’s off-road racing pedigree to a bolt-on package that’s perfect for daily driving, towing, or rough terrain. The high-flow piston and application-specific valving work together to deliver consistent, controlled damping, giving you a more planted ride without compromising comfort. Whether you're hitting washboard trails or hauling a trailer through mountain passes, this shock keeps the rear of your truck composed and predictable.

Engineered to Stay Cool and Keep Performing

Where this shock really shines is its ability to manage heat. The smooth body is built from 6061-T6 aluminum and clear anodized to resist corrosion, all while dissipating heat much faster than traditional steel shocks. It’s paired with an external reservoir that boosts oil and nitrogen capacity, helping the shock stay cool and consistent, even under extended use. FOX finishes things off with CNC-machined billet aluminum components, including a black anodized clamp to mount the reservoir cleanly and securely. The chrome-plated 5/8-inch alloy steel shaft, along with a multi-seal pack design, keeps this setup leak-free and durable over the long haul. If you’re serious about dialing in your ride quality and you want a shock that performs as good as it looks, FOX delivers the goods with this one.
