These Fox 2.0 shocks were one of the biggest before-and-after differences we've experienced with our Ram 2500 (test vehicle). One of the biggest flaws of the factory suspension on these trucks is the slop over larger bumps, that continuous bouncing or side to side swaying going up driveways. These Fox 2.0 make significant improvements to the handling and comfort of the truck in almost every situation.
What you get is a front-to-rear shock upgrade with valving tuned for the 2500 platform — not a generic damper repurposed from a half-ton application. The result is a truck that rides flatter over broken pavement, doesn't bob its head on the highway with weight in the bed, and handles the transition from asphalt to dirt without turning every divot into an event.
This kit is for the Ram 2500 owner who daily drives the truck, occasionally loads it up or takes it off-pavement, and wants the most performance per dollar a Fox sticker can buy - without committing to a full suspension overhaul. This kit isn't for those looking to transform an otherwise-stock truck into a luxury riding vehicle - but we do have kits for that.
Pros
- Vehicle specific valving from Fox, which in our experience, leans towards a very forgiving and comfortable response.
- Less head toss on the highway, more composed through driveways, better body control over rough surfaces.
- Rebuildable and serviceable. The ability to refresh, instead of throwing away, matters more on a work truck than people think.
Cons
- Not optimized for towing, while the Fox 2.0 does improve handling in many areas, there are better options if the driver is specifically looking to improve tow/haul capabilities.
- Service interval is real. Plan on a rebuild by 50k miles, depending on how hard you run the truck. Performance shocks aren't a set-it-and-forget-it, especially on a truck that actually works.
Who these are For
The Ram 2500 owner who daily drives the truck, wants improved comfort, uses it for weekend heavy-duties or trail-riding, and wants a real upgrade over factory ride quality.
Who should look elsewhere
Heavy tow-rigs, heavy construction rigs, and other trucks that see serious payload will feel let down - these Fox 2.0 aren't up to the task. Those that use the truck as a daily, and a weekend adventurer with heavy gear should look towards an adjustable 2.0 shock, or Fox's 2.5 Performance Elite that provides additional support and adjustability.

The Expert's Opinion
"The Fox 2.0 shock is, in our experience, one of the most forgiving and comfortable shocks for trucks and SUVs - and we've run them across the Tacoma, Ranger, Silverado, Ram, Wrangler, and F-150 to back that up.
This is the go-to recommendation to subdue rocky terrain, choppy trails, and navigating pothole city."
INFORMATION
Questions? We've got answers
Fox 2.0 shocks are known for delivering a comfortable, controlled ride that works well for both daily driving and light to moderate off-road use. On pavement, most drivers find the ride to be similar to stock, but with better stability and body control over bumps, dips, and rough roads.
Off-road, Fox 2.0 shocks provide a noticeable improvement over factory suspension. The monotube design with an internal floating piston helps keep the damping consistent, so the vehicle feels more planted on washboard roads, potholes, and trail obstacles without feeling overly stiff.
Overall, Fox 2.0 shocks strike a great balance between comfort and performance. They’re a solid upgrade for drivers who want better ride quality and durability than stock shocks, while still maintaining a smooth ride for everyday use.
Most Fox 2.0 shocks are not adjustable. The standard Fox 2.0 Performance Series shocks come with factory-set valving that is designed to provide a balanced ride for both on-road comfort and off-road control right out of the box.
However, some Fox 2.0 variants do offer adjustment, depending on the specific model. For example, certain reservoir versions include external compression adjusters that allow you to fine-tune the shock’s damping for different driving conditions.
In short, most Fox 2.0 shocks are a non-adjustable, bolt-on upgrade, while select versions include adjusters for dialing in ride firmness and off-road performance. If adjustability is important for your setup, it’s worth confirming the specific Fox 2.0 model before purchasing.
Click the 'Select Your Vehicle' button above the 'Add to Cart' button to make sure the shocks fit your exact vehicle. If needed, the site will send you to the right shocks for your ride. If your vehicle has been lifted, use the dropdown menu to pick the correct lift height. For example, if you have a Rough Country 6-inch lift kit, choose Front 4–6" and Rear 3–4" (the rear is usually smaller than the front). Still not sure? Our sales team is happy to help.
For most drivers, Fox 2.0 shocks typically last around 40,000–50,000 miles before they start to lose peak performance, especially with normal daily driving and occasional off-road use. Many manufacturers and suspension experts recommend inspecting or servicing them around this mileage to keep the ride quality and damping working as intended.
That said, lifespan can vary quite a bit depending on how the vehicle is used. Trucks that spend most of their time on pavement may see longer service life, while vehicles that frequently tackle rough trails, washboard roads, or heavy loads may need service sooner.
The good news is that Fox shocks are built with durability in mind. With proper maintenance or rebuilds when needed, many drivers get years of reliable performance out of a set of Fox 2.0 shocks.
