Fox 2005-2026 Ford F250/350 Super Duty 6-8in Lift Front 2.5 Performance Series Shock
2005–2026 Ford F-250/F-350 Super Duty 4WD Front Fox 2.5 Performance Series HTO Shock (6–8” Lift)
Upgrade your suspension with the Fox 2.5 Performance Series HTO Shock, engineered to deliver enhanced damping control, improved ride comfort, and superior performance both on and off the road. Featuring advanced position-sensitive technology, vehicle-specific valving, and a larger shock body, this shock is built to handle demanding conditions while maintaining a smooth, controlled ride.
Key Features
- 2.5” impact extruded 6061-T6 aluminum shock body
- Type II clear-anodized body plating for corrosion resistance
- High-flow, velocity-sensitive damping for improved ride quality
- 5/8” hard chrome shock shaft for strength and durability
- Internal Floating Piston (IFP) for consistent damping performance
- Hydraulic Top Out (HTO) piston for position-sensitive rebound control
- Larger oil capacity to reduce fade under heavy use
- Direct bolt-on installation
- Designed for 6–8” lift applications
Performance Benefits
The Fox 2.5 Performance Series HTO shock is designed to improve both on-road comfort and off-road capability. Its larger piston and increased oil volume help reduce fade under heavy use, while the Internal Floating Piston (IFP) separates shock oil from high-pressure nitrogen for consistent performance.
HTO technology provides position-sensitive rebound damping by routing oil through a secondary shim stack, slowing shaft speed near full extension. This reduces harsh top-out conditions and improves overall ride comfort—especially beneficial for vehicles running heavier tires or operating with lifts beyond factory specifications.
