Fox Racing Shocks 981-20-123 Performance Elite 2.0 x 16 Coil-Over Remote Shock 7/8 Shaft

The Fox Racing Shocks 981-20-123 is a Performance Elite Series 2.0" x 16" coil-over remote reservoir shock built for serious off-road applications demanding maximum travel and race-proven durability. Featuring a 7/8" (0.875") diameter piston rod, this shock is engineered to resist the side loads generated by coil springs, reducing flex and extending service life in long-travel suspension builds.

Fox's Performance Elite Series uses quality materials and construction directly inspired by off-road racing. The shock body is a precision-extruded aluminum design that dissipates heat efficiently while resisting corrosion. An Internal Floating Piston (IFP) mono-tube design separates the high-performance shock oil — rated to withstand extreme temperatures — from the high-pressure nitrogen gas charge, effectively eliminating oil aeration for consistent, fade-free damping performance.

The external 2" x 11" remote reservoir with a 14" hose provides additional oil volume to further manage heat on extended off-road runs. The second-generation Performance Elite design uses a single pinch-style preload nut (compatible with Fox spanner wrenches 07098 or 803-00-733) for easier spring preload and ride height adjustment. Standard valving is set at 50 compression / 70 rebound, and custom valving options are available to match your specific build and driving style.
