2016 F150 SCrew FX4
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.

2015 FORD F150 4x4 5.0 SUPERCAB 6.5' BED W 1.5 Rear Drop Shackles
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.

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!!

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Would the FOX 2.0 IFP Rear Shocks be a good balance in the back/rear as that the Rancho QuickLift Suspension Package levels and brings/gives the front a 2.75" of front ride height?

Asked by: Josh - 5/28/2025
Customer Answer You can run the Fox 2.0 on any setup 0-1" with no issues, and the valving is similar between the two brands you mention so there will be no negative affects in ride quality using them together.

Customer Question I have a 2021 Tremor. I think it comes from the factory with a lift of about 1.5 inches in the back. I drive my truck on-road primarily with some occasional off road use. I looking for the comfortable ride without the bouncy rear-end. I'm torn between Bilstein 5100, 4600 and Fox 2.0 shocks. Which would you recommend?

Asked by: Greg W - 6/7/2022
Customer Answer None of these shock options will fit or work on your truck. All of them are only rated to handle 1" of rear lift on the standard F150s. You would need a shock capable of handling at least 1.5" of rear lift, as well as one that would actually be an upgrade over the Tremor's OEM Fox shocks. Your best bet would be to jump up to a set of 2.5 rear shocks. Give us a call directly at 623-434-5277 or email us at [email protected].

Customer Question I just bought the 2.0 performance series but for 4-6 inch lift, part number 985-24-193. There's a lot of different answers to which way the shocks are supposed to be put on, enough to make me question a simple install. I read you said it doesn't matter which way that's how these are designed. Is it the same for 985-24-193?

Asked by: jeremy mackey - 3/24/2022
Customer Answer On a monotube shock (which the entire Fox 2.0 series is), orientation does not technically matter. The valving is not one-way like a lot of basic hydro or twin-tube shocks. Personally, I prefer my shocks barrel-up/shaft down, since it's harder to nick the hardened steel shaft to the point where it tears a seal (not to mention it's easy to add a boot or roost shield) than it is to puncture the aluminum body (though it's still difficult), but to each their own.

Customer Question Hey I’ve got a 2014 f150 stx, and I’m looking to change the rear shocks my question is are these about the same length as the stock ones that came with my truck? Because I’ve ordered rough country shocks that were 0-3.5’ but those would jump way too much so i wanna know if these will have better ride without all the jumping almost as if it was brand new stock

Asked by: Bryan Saucedo - 6/26/2021
Customer Answer The Fox 2.0s are slightly longer than stock to handle more rear lift, but they are performance-tuned, monotubes and tend to provide more stability and less jounce than the factory shocks or Rough Country's hydro shocks.

Customer Question I'm going to install the Air Lift 5100 Ultimate and looking to upgrade rear shocks also to help primarily with towing a large travel trailer. Would the Bilstein 5100's or the Fox 2.0 rear shocks be better for towing? If negligible, which may have "better" ride quality on the road when not towing? I understand this is subjective!

Asked by: Todd Millett - 6/2/2021
Customer Answer Either option would work to improve handling and stability over the stock shocks. Personally, I think the Fox 2.0s ride a little better than the 5100s, but not by much. You won't go wrong either way.

Customer Question 2018 F150 FX4 with a Belltech 1001sp 2/4 lowering kit. Will these rear shacks replace the Rear Belltech shocks? Truck is has too much roll and is a little bouncy, stock shocks were a better ride.

Asked by: David G - 8/8/2020
Customer Answer Unfortunately, these shocks will not work with a lowered truck. If you call us directly at 623-434-5277, we may be able to find a set of semi-universal Fox 2.0s that will work in place of Belltech's shocks.

Customer Question Is this the for the pair and how do compare to the stock shocks? Are they better and can they hold the stock ride height or does it sit lower?

Asked by: MR - 6/11/2020
Customer Answer This price and part number is for a pair of rear shocks. They are an all-around improvement when it comes to handling and off-road performance. They're marginally stiffer than stock, but that's kind of a good thing, since the biggest problem with the stock shocks are too squishy to begin with. These shocks do not effect ride height. However, they are capable of handling up to 1" of additional ride height over stock, allowing you to add a slightly larger rear block or 1" lift shackle if you wanted to increase ride height.

Customer Question Will these shocks ride the same with a 3” rear block as they do the stock block? Or will a 3” rear block push the limit? Will the rear shocks rated for 4”-6” lift be a better option for a 3” rear block?

Asked by: Chris - 5/2/2020
Customer Answer Unfortunately, neither Fox 2.0 option is really suitable for a 3" rear block. These particular shocks are only rated for 1" of rear lift, while a 3" rear block adds a net lift of 1.50" to 1.75" (depending on stock block size). The Fox 2.0 for 4-6" lifts are really designed for 2" stacked blocks or 4-5" rear blocks that are found with most lift kits. We can't guarantee that either will work effectively. Ideally, you should look into a shock capable of handling 1.5" to 2" of total rear lift. Give us a call directly at 623-434-5277 for possible options.

Asked by: Topher - 3/19/2020
Customer Answer If your lift kit come with a 4" or 5" rear block, these shocks will not work on your truck. They do not have the length. You would need the BDS Fox 2.0 for 6" Lifts.

Customer Question I’ll be installing these along with the Fox shields, would the orientation of the shock matter when you install them?

Asked by: FX4 Tremor - 2/18/2020
Customer Answer Technically, on a monotube shock, orientation doesn't matter. In general, we recommend a barrel-up/shaft-down setup on the F150s since you're less likely to nick the shafts to the point of a seal failure than you are to puncture the aluminum shock body. That chance of shaft nicking is reduced to near-zero with the roost shields.

Customer Question Do these allow 1" or up to 1.5" of rear lift? I know that my 2018 F-150 has 1.25" rear blocks, and even though I don't initially plan on doing a set of blocks in the rear, I'd like to know if I can get up to a 2.5" rear block if I choose to. I'd like to do these over the Bilsteins just because these are aluminum and should resist the harsh Ohio weather better I'd think.

Asked by: Nick Craig - 1/6/2020
Customer Answer These shocks are rated to handle 1.00" of rear lift over stock, which means you can feasibly use up to a 2.50" rear block, since some F150s came with a 1.50" rear block.

Customer Question I installed this shocks per the video and they are working well. My question is why are other videos that are installing the Fox front and rear shocks leveling kits installing the same rear shocks with the body on the lower end? Is this installation backwards? I also want to add the front Fox shocks to level the front end later so what is the difference in the rear installation?

Asked by: Neftaly Castillo - 8/8/2019
Customer Answer Technically, with a monotube shock, orientation doesn't really matter in regards to function. We prefer a barrel-up/shaft-down orientation for our installs to better protect the body of the shock from getting punctured. There are some arguments for doing a shaft-up orientation, namely it helps prevent the shaft from getting pitted which can then tear up the lower seal and wiper during articulation. Granted, it's a lot easier to puncture aluminum than to pit hardened chromed steel, but neither method is necessarily wrong.

Customer Question I currently have BFG KM3 315/70r17 tires. They are kind of heavy. I also notice when I haul my ATV in the bed at the end of the day my truck is squatting because of shock fade. Would these be my best option for on road comfort and fade free performance? 95% on-road (Louisiana) 5% off road.

Asked by: Jared - 5/23/2019
Customer Answer This shock would potentially work fine for what you're doing. However, if you're getting a lot of squat, it likely has more to do with your leveling kit taking away the factory rake, and you may want to consider some sort of load support system, as the shocks won't add any ride height and likely won't prevent squatting in the way you hope. Your best bet would be to call us directly at 623-434-5277 so we can get more specific about your level and the rest of your suspension setup.

Asked by: danielhumsi - 12/26/2018

Customer Question Are these the best choice shocks for a 4x4 Crew with a 2" rear drop?

Asked by: ahauke - 7/3/2018
Customer Answer These shocks aren't rated to handle a 2" rear drop. You'd likely have to use the Fox 2.0s meant for RWD F150s, since they're a little shorter or go a custom/universal eyelet-to-eyelet solution depending on your extended and collapsed lengths.

Customer Question Hello! I have a 2014 Ford F150 FX4 with a 2" leveling kit. Will these shocks work with the Ready Lift 3" rear block kit? Or will they be too maxed out to install with the rear block addition? Thanks!

Asked by: Ricky Hinch - 5/28/2018
Customer Answer Technically, these shocks are only rated for up to 1" of rear lift over stock, and a 3" rear block adds 1.5" to 1.75" of lift depending on the size of the stock block, which pushes them over their rating. That being said, plenty of folks have run these shocks with 3" rear blocks or 1.5" add-a-leaf kits without issues. That being said, if you want to stick with Fox's recommendation, then you should take a look at Halo Lift's 2" to 2.50" rear blocks.

Asked by: Sergio - 3/12/2018
Customer Answer Technically, the Fox rear shocks are only rated for 1" of rear lift over stock, and a 3" rear block adds either 1.75" or 1.50" of lift depending on the size of the stock rear block. Halo Lift's Shocks are rated for up to 2" of rear lift, and are more suitable for a 3" rear block or a 1.5" add-a-leaf kit on paper. That being said, plenty of folks (including ourselves) have used the Fox 2.0 shocks with 3" rear blocks without ever having an issue, especially in predominantly street applications.

Customer Question Can I use this shocks if, I have a 2012 f150 4wd with 3¨ rear blocks?

Asked by: sergio - 1/2/2018
Customer Answer Fox only recommends using their shocks with 1" of total rear lift, and a 3" block adds roughly 1.5" to 1.75" of rear lift depending on your truck's factory rear block. That being said, a lot of folks use these rear shocks in conjunction with 3" rear blocks and don't have issues. If you want a shock that's rated to handle a 3" rear block, then take a look at the Halo Lifts Boss 2.0 rear shocks.

Customer Question Will these shocks work with a 3” leveling block as well as a 35x12.5 tire on stock wheels?

Asked by: Aaron - 12/8/2017
Customer Answer Fox only rates their 2.0 rear shocks to handle up to 1" of rear lift, and a 3" rear block adds roughly 1.5" of lift to your truck. While the shocks do have a enough travel to handle 1.5" of lift, you're at the limit of their valving which can lead to a decreased lifespan, so you may want to consider another option. Shocks will not determine what tire you can fit on your truck.

Customer Answer Rear shocks do not effect your F150's ride height. Only add-a-leaf kits or larger rear shocks are capable of changing your F150's ride height. The Fox 2.0 shocks can handle the stock ride height of the truck without any issues.

Customer Question How do this compare against a 16 FX4 shock? I want to know if its valved the much different than an FX4 shock?

Asked by: Eric Vazquez - 1/22/2017
Customer Answer The Fox 2.0s have an entirely different internal design than the FX4 Off-Road Package Ranchos, so the valving is different by necessity. The Ranchos have a pretty standard white-body hydraulic design, while the Fox 2.0s use a gas-charged monotube design, which is generally superior when it comes to performance and ride quality.

Asked by: Brian - 1/21/2017
Customer Answer They won't help with any ride height loss due to the weight of the topper. Only a larger rear block or an add-a-leaf kit can give you back rear ride height. However, the Fox shocks will be able to handle the extra load better than stock and will get rid of some of the bounciness, jounce, and harshness that stock shocks get when they're loaded down.

Asked by: Brian Williams - 10/30/2016
Customer Answer Since the Fox shocks are a monotube design, it doesn't really matter. We generally recommend a barrel-up install so that the shock body is less likely to get damaged from rocks and debris kicked up by the front tires.

Asked by: Rene - 7/25/2016
Customer Answer These shocks do not change the ride height of your truck's rear end. Only larger blocks, add-a-leaf kits, or new leaf packs will get you a change in ride height. That being said, the shocks can handle roughly 1" to 1.5" of extra ride height without issues. The shocks will also not effect towing capability or performance.

Customer Question I am trying pick an excellnent off-road shocks. I have this option (Fox 2.0 IFP rear shocks) and (ICON Rear 2.0 Aluminum Series Shock). Also, I am planning to install 3" rear block. I use my F150 mainly for off-road trips. Which one will be better in this case?

Asked by: Suliman - 6/21/2016
Customer Answer If your truck is predominately used off-road, and that off-roading is fairly aggressive, then you'd probably be better off with the ICON shocks. Their valving is more aggressive, and they're built a bit tougher. However, the Fox shocks do tend to have a smoother street ride than the ICONs, but only by so much.

Customer Question I currently have a 2013 F150 with the bilstein leveling kit that utilizes the stock springs. Also, I have the rear 5100 bilsteins as well. I HATE the ride quality of the truck it is very harsh and actually feels more bouncy off road than stock. I'm running BF Goodrich All Terrains 275/55/20 (I believe). I am looking at doing the Fox system all around with the coilovers and rear shocks. Do you think this system would ride better than the current bilstein system that I have? Also, if I don't like the new system what are your return policies? Thanks!

Asked by: Drew - 8/11/2015
Customer Answer Ride quality's a pretty subjective thing, but the Fox Stage 1 Kit does tend to ride better than the Bilstein 5100s, especially if you have the Bilsteins set on their highest perch setting up front. Unfortunately, we can't take back suspension components once they've be installed and used.
