2004-2020 Ford F150 FOX 2.0 IFP Rear Shocks - (Pair) | Part# 985-24-029-2

Cornering around turns, with un-even pavement, is downright dangerous on these new F150's. I can't believe how bad the back end wants to dance around. After reading about this dilemma, on F150forums.com , I decided to try these Fox 2 rear shocks out. I ordered here, and got them for $207 delivered. Not even Amazon tops that price. Once I received them, I put them on myself. I've never put shocks on before, so it was definitely a learning experience for me. The stock shocks are very easy to compress. These are NOT! I had to jack my trucks frame up, and use a crow bar, to pry them up and in. I do not have a good jack, so I had to use my trucks jack. It took me 2 hours, with absolutely no experience, or proper tools. They are a bear to compress by hand, and alone. An extra set of hands would've been nice, but the crow bar from my trucks jack worked fine. Had I known any of this before hand, I probably could've done it in a half hour to 45 min. After the install, I went for a ride, looking for the worst pavement. No matter how bad the road, the truck never side stepped again. These shocks gave my truck a very compliant ride. They really softened and smoothed everything. The only trouble I have now is, I absolutely see how bad the stock front suspension is now. The difference will astound you.

+ Great improvement over stock shocks. Tad stiffer but that gives it a sportier feel. Handling improved. The dreaded wheel hop and loose rear end pretty much disappeared. - Warranty claims with FOX is horrible. Roughly 8 months after my install one of my shocks leaked out. Contacted my Fox dealer about a warranty claim and we both ended up contacting RideFox. There is nothing they will do without the shock in their possession first. So that means taking the shock off my truck and not having a truck to drive for however long it takes to send the shock from Canada to USA and have them return a warrantied shock. This would take weeks or possibly months. Most any other company I have any warranty claims with will send off a replacement part. Once i receive it I would return the defective product to them. If I didn't hold up my end of the bargain they would just charge me for the product. RIDEFOX only does this to discourage anyone from perusing a warranty claim. Now I have to purchase a new shock. Once installed I will have to send off the faulty shock to FOX and hope for a warrantied one in return. Having a spare shock will be nice but i rather money in my pocket and not have to F around with this. This being said, its the last FOX product of this sort I will purchase.

I had the notorious rear steer when encountering bumps that was magnified if in a curve. Fox 2.0's instantly resolved it. The truck is much more settled, refined, and smooth. The tires are planted without the shudder over a series of washboard bumps, and the light vibration that used to travel the truck is gone. I have yet to encounter anything negative with the Fox 2.0's and do not feel it is more harsh at all. The truck feels more solid and invokes the confidence that I am accustomed to in a Ford F150, it should have came from the factory with this shock or something very similar.

Made a great difference on a daily drive. I have a leveling kit with 33s and there is much less bouncing around in the rear when hitting potholes etc. I would definitely recommend them.

What a huge improvement over the stock shocks,especially off road or rough roads.Great ride on highways,more solid,controlled ride.should have purchased sooner...

I could compress the stock shocks easily by hand. These Fox 2.0 shocks were much stiffer and I was unable to compress by hand and needed a friend to help pop them in. What does this mean? Basically a more planted rear end, reduced body roll around corners, and more control at high speeds over freeway bumps. Huge improvement over the F150 stock rear shocks and probably the best $200 spent. Fox 2.0s saved Fords a**, litterally!!

Fox 2.0 shocks are junk 3 months and a seal blew. It’s going on 3 months and Fox still has my shocks. Between contact stage3motorsports to finally contact Fox still no shocks. I saved my oem shocks thank god.what would people do that didn’t have to go buy another set. I will never buy Fox products or recommend.

Great build quality, easy install, significant improvement over stock. The new F150s are under-dampened and with the light weight aluminum bed the rear end tends to bounce quite a bit and be a bit more lively than some people prefer. These shocks eliminate almost all of the feeling your rear end is bouncing all over the road when you hit a bump or pothole without giving you a harsh ride. 4-stars because they should have come with the shields or a boot, IMO.

Love these shocks so much i had to write a review, and i mostly dont take my time to write reviews. These shocks are night and day different over stock. I just installed them so i dont know the long term reliablity, but well see. Truck rides a little bit stiffer, which i like, and ALOT of body roll is gone. Almost non-existant. Cant wait to upgrade the front now! Makes me realize how sh**y the oem front ones are. I only went for a 20 minute ride of them so far after installing them, and went down roads the are un-level, and few pot holes and these absorb the holes, but not all jumpy and rattly like the stock ones and smooth, but stiff feeling when you want it to be. I dont how fox does it, but great job. My only regret is not ordering them when i bought the truck. Haha. Not really happy on the price tag though, especially not having any clue how long theyll last. Pretty straight forward to install. The install videos i have watched on them show them mounting them with putting the top bolt in first (on the frame) and compressing the bottom, most likely because it was on a lift, but putting them in the bottom first (on axle) and pushing down is a lot easier and can do by yourself. I will do a 40-50k mile review down the road. Also, i dont plan on doing any offroading with it. I dont have the courage to take my 60k vehicle in the mud! I live in the rust belt as well and dont even drive it in the salt. Rating them 4 stars because of the price.

Great shocks and really did fix the rear end of the truck hoping around over bumps and railroad tracks. Shocks are firmer but in a good way. Highway driving and city driving are improved. Worth the investment. 10/10. Wish they came with the rock guard or a rubber boot. Hence 4/5.

So far the best mod I've done to the truck. Fixed all the sloppy rear end issues. Handles trailers much better. Took me about 18 minutes to throw em on. Overall couldn't be happier.

Great replacement for worn out stock shocks. 10x better than before.

Initially improved ride and handling, but one started squeaking after 40k miles. Took it off and noticed it was overly stiff and springy compared to the other side;; not like a shock should be and did not notice when installed.. Always felt strange going over speed bumps or similar; overly harsh and felt like the rear end jolted to one side. The shock was probably defective for most of its life.

I love these fox 2.0 rear shocks on my 2018 f-150. Night and day difference in ride quality. One of the best upgrades I have done and as always quick shipping and best price online from stage3. Very satisfied!

I love these shocks. Took it out to sliver lake sand dune and it did awesome. Very limited bed hop

I bought my truck(2012 f150 supercrew ecoboost) over a year ago, since day one it needed new rear shocks... towing an empty 28ft pj buggy hauler down the highway @ 50mph, felt like ridding a horse. Truck rode horrible with no load as well, hitting a bump while going around a curve in the road would send me half way into the next lane... only time truck rode sorta decent was with a well balanced load on my car trailer. I have had fox shocks before and really liked them, so for me it was no question. I installed these and a set of ground force 2in. drop shackle together, truck rides great and is level.I have not towed with this setup yet. I plan on installing air bags next, since I tow over 8,000 here and there with this truck

My truck only had 1500 miles on it, but the rear shocks on the truck were terrible. Stiff with no initial compliance made badly maintained gravel roads almost undriveable with the rear end trying to swap ends. Not anymore. The Fox shocks cured that problem and deliver a nice Highway ride. My wife even noticed the difference in ride quality. I am very happy with this purchase and will probably end up putting the 2.0's on the front also.

Easy install, 2 bolts per shock. Easy DIY. Calmed down rear axle, less hop with improved ride. Very happy with results. Strongly considering front strut replacement.

What a great upgrade. Truck handles so much better. The factory death bounce is gone!

Easy to install and performs way better than stock.

Another 5 star review of the Fox shocks. Much improved handling and stability over larger bumps. Slightly stiffer with no weight in the bed or towing a load but not annoying one bit. The rear end felt jittery and loose with factory shocks (2016 4x4 w/ 26k miles) but it feels planted now like other reviews have said. Very happy with the investment, now I just need to upgrade to Fox 2.0 coilovers for the front.

Made quite a difference in overall ride on street and highway. Now to do the front next but not as much hurry to do it because of the vast improvement just by changing out the rear ones.

Great upgrade for the truck, produces a much smoother ride at speed and eliminates body roll corners and roundabouts feel completey different. The truck is much more planted. I would recomend to anyone that is looking to upgrade rear shocks.

Great quality product. Installed them to replace my Pro Comp struts that went out after about 15k miles. Some people say they would like a boot, but I like that these shocks do not have boots and also are actually installed "upside-down". The boots on my Pro Comp shocks just trapped dirt and mud that I assume led to the seals breaking prematurely. The materials in the FOX shocks are strong enough and resistant to the weather so this design should hold up much better over time. It's night and day difference with the handling around turns and small bumps and such. Still a stiff ride, but definitely gets rid of the sharpness in the bumps while preserving vehicle control. Can't wait to save up to upgrade the front struts to FOX as well!

Great product and easy to install

What an improvement over stock! I only have 36k miles on my OEM shocks but like many other reviews I didn't like the rear end chattering, bouncing on bumps as well as the floaty feeling and body roll when cornering. Putting on these rear Fox 2.0 shocks cleared all that up. I will likely end up doing the fronts as well at some point, but I'm very happy with the upgrade on the rear.

Great shocks, easy install. Handling improved.

Packaging and initial looks quality top notch. Easily installed. Performs as expected, reduced shutter over bumps going around curves. I am setting leveled, so stock rear block with another 1" block in the rear. The Fox shocks were 2" shorter than the shocks the came off. Maybe they were not factory shock to begin with. I would say definently woth $250.

Love them! Wasn't sure about spending the money on them and considered going for something cheaper. Great product tho! Glad I bought them. I was also a little worried about the ride quality that it might be too rough. Haven't had an issue tho. I think they ride great and the pickup seems to stick to the road better. They look great too!

Very happy with this purchase and the level of service we received from Stage 3. The truck has been performing much better after a much needed shock change. Thanks guys!

I purchased these because I saw a lot of good reviews on them, They do eliminate the rear hop the F150's are known for, however now it rides equivalent to my 06 F350 Dually, These shocks are not made to be daily driven, Buying a set of Bilstein 5100's hopefully they are a better ride.

Great improvement over stock easy install and happy with purchase

Upgraded rear suspension with the shocks to improve handling etc. Rear hop is gone. Slightly firmer ride which I wanted. Great price and fast shipping!

Solid upgrade, rear end used to feel floaty and boat like over bumps, after putting these on the rear tires actually feel planted to the road. No more bed hop and axle wrap is significantly reduced. If you're looking for a rear shock upgrade for a decent price, this is it.

These were a fantastic improvement over the stock shocks. The rear end definitely feels more planted. No more hopping or sharp drops due to sudden changes in the road surface. I'd definitely recommend this mod if you're experiencing rear end instability. The only thing I would say is that I cannot comment on how well these perform compared to newer stock shocks. I was at 100k miles, so mine were definitely on their way out. Either way, wouldn't hesitate to recommend these. Also, very easy to install.

half hour install. love these shocks...my only problem is not driving fast with the much improved handling. well worth the money
