Fox Racing Shocks 981-30-409-R Factory Race 3.0 x 16 External Bypass 3-Tube Remote Shock Right

The Fox Racing Shocks 981-30-409-R is a Factory Race Series 3.0-inch diameter, 16-inch external bypass remote reservoir shock absorber designed for serious off-road racing and high-performance applications. Built for the right-side position, this shock features a 3-tube external bypass design that delivers precise, independently adjustable compression damping across different zones of the shock stroke — allowing tuners to optimize performance over small chatter bumps separately from large-hit bottoming control.

Key Features:

• 3.0-inch main body for increased oil volume and superior heat dissipation during extended high-speed use
• External bypass tubes (3-tube configuration) provide independent, position-sensitive compression damping adjustment without disassembly
• Remote reservoir further increases fluid capacity, reducing fade and maintaining consistent damping performance under extreme conditions
• 16-inch stroke for maximum wheel travel in demanding off-road race environments
• Right-side specific orientation for proper bypass tube positioning and clearance
• Fully rebuildable and serviceable — designed for long service life with field and shop rebuild capability
• Custom valving options available to tailor damping characteristics to specific vehicle weight, terrain, and driver preference
• Machined aluminum body and reservoir with high-quality seals for durability in harsh racing environments
• Compatible with Fox's full line of racing accessories and rebuild kits

The Fox Factory Race 3.0 External Bypass shock is a top choice for professional off-road racers and serious enthusiasts competing in desert racing, rock crawling, and overland events where consistent, tunable suspension performance is critical. Its rebuildable construction and custom valving availability make it a long-term investment for competitive builds.
