Fox Racing Shocks 987-24-045 2.5 Performance Series IFP HTO Smooth Body Shock Absorber

The Fox Racing Shocks 987-24-045 is a 2.5 Performance Series IFP HTO shock absorber designed to deliver race-proven damping technology in a bolt-on package. This shock combines position-sensitive technology, vehicle-specific valving, and larger 2.5-inch pistons to dramatically improve both on-road comfort and off-road performance.

Key Features:

• 2.5-inch impact-extruded 6061-T6 aluminum shock body for superior heat dissipation and corrosion resistance
• Hydraulic Top Out (HTO) technology reduces harsh top-outs by directing shock oil through a secondary shim stack to slow shaft speed
• Internal Floating Piston (IFP) design separates shock oil from high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber for optimized damping performance
• Type II clear anodized finish for durability and corrosion protection
• 5/8-inch hard chrome-plated heat-treated alloy steel shaft for smooth operation and long service life
• High-flow velocity-sensitive damping adapts to changing road conditions
• Application-specific valving tuned for optimal performance
• Fully rebuildable and re-tunable design for long-term use and customization
• Eyelet mounting configuration on both top and bottom

The HTO technology is particularly beneficial for trucks equipped with aggressive tires or lifted beyond OEM specifications, providing superior rebound damping control that reduces harshness and increases ride comfort. The large 2.5-inch diameter body efficiently manages heat buildup during extended off-road use while the anodized aluminum construction resists rust and corrosion over time.

Installation is straightforward as this shock is designed to bolt directly in place of existing components without requiring extensive modifications. Each shock includes all necessary hardware including washers, bushings, and mounting nuts. Fox Racing backs this product with their limited one-year warranty against defects and premature failure.
