Fox 14+ Dodge Ram 2500 Rear Pair 2.0 Performance Series 11.1in / 4-6in Lift DSC
2014–2025 Ram 2500 4WD FOX Performance Elite 2.5 Rear Reservoir Shocks – Up to 6" Lift
FOX Performance Elite Series 2.5 Reservoir smooth body shocks deliver enhanced ride quality and the control you need when your truck leaves the pavement. Designed using technology derived directly from FOX Off-Road race shocks, these dampers have been refined and proven in extreme conditions to provide reliable, race-tested performance you can bolt onto your truck.
The external reservoir design increases oil and nitrogen capacity, helping maintain consistent damping while improving heat dissipation during demanding driving conditions. Built for durability and performance, these shocks feature a 2.5" hard-anodized aluminum body, CNC-machined components, and race-developed internal valving to deliver improved stability, control, and comfort both on the road and off.
Designed specifically for 2014–2025 Ram 2500 4WD trucks, these shocks are optimized for vehicles running up to a 6" rear lift, delivering consistent damping and precise handling whether you're daily driving, towing, or tackling rough terrain.

Why Fox Shocks
Fox shocks are well-regarded in the off-road and performance world because they combine durability, advanced damping technology, and customization options that suit a wide range of vehicles and driving styles. For 4WD trucks, the “best” Fox shocks depend on how you actually use the truck — daily driving, towing, trail riding, or hardcore off-road.
Fox Shocks FAQ's
Should I Get 2.0 or 2.5 Shocks
Choose Fox 2.0 if:
You prioritize a smoother daily ride.
You stick to moderate trails and lighter off-road use.
Budget-friendly performance is key.
Choose Fox 2.5 if:
You demand more from your suspension—like aggressive off-roading, towing, or extended high-speed use.
You need better heat management and durability.
You don’t mind paying a bit more for enhanced performance and longevity.
Why Monotube Shocks Excel on Lifted Trucks
Handles Added Unsprung Weight – Larger wheels/tires from a lift add rotational mass and stress to your suspension. Monotube designs have better damping control to keep those tires planted.
Better Heat Dissipation – The single-tube design allows oil and gas to cool more efficiently, preventing fade during towing, off-roading, or long highway runs.
More Precise Handling – They respond faster to suspension movement, which is critical when correcting for body roll in a taller truck.
Will Better Shocks Improve Ride Quality
Tightening Up a Floaty Vehicle
If your truck feels like it’s “floating” or wandering at highway speeds, new shocks will firm up the suspension, improve steering response, and keep the body from rolling excessively in turns.
This doesn’t necessarily make the ride softer — it makes it more controlled.
Reducing Harsh Bouncing & Jarring
If you’re feeling hard bounce after hitting a bump (especially front or rear “pogo stick” motion), your shocks likely have lost rebound damping.
New shocks restore that damping, keeping your tires on the ground and absorbing energy before it reaches you.
Why Measure Shocks and Lift Height
1. Improved Ride Comfort
Matching the right shocks to your truck’s lift height enhances ride comfort. Ill-fitting shocks can cause a harsh, bumpy ride and limit suspension travel.
2. Better Handling & Control
Shocks sized for your lift height improve steering stability, cornering, and overall control — especially on rough terrain or with larger tires.
3. Increased Safety
The right shocks keep your tires in consistent contact with the ground, reducing the risk of skids, loss of control, or suspension component damage.
4. Greater Durability
When shocks operate within their intended range, they last longer and protect other suspension parts from premature wear.
5. Optimal Performance
A well-matched suspension setup ensures your truck performs at its best, whether you’re off-roading, towing, hauling, or commuting daily.
