Overview
The FOX part FOX985-24-202 is a rear 2.0 Performance Series smooth body IFP shock for the 2014 to 2022 Ram 2500. The Ram 2500 trims in the fitment list are Big Horn, Laramie, Laramie Limited, Laramie Longhorn, Limited, Limited Longhorn, Lone Star, Outdoorsman, Power Wagon, SLT and Tradesman.
The product details list the position as rear, with a stem top upper mount and an eyelet lower mount. The body is 2.0 inches in diameter and the shock is a monotube design with a gas charge.
FOX describes the line as race-proven damping that gives a comfortable on-road ride and predictable handling off road. It says the precision aluminum body increases cooling capacity and resists rust.
Its internal floating piston separates the damping oil from the high-pressure, nitrogen-charged gas chamber. FOX says the design eliminates oil aeration, which lets the factory-tuned valving work as intended.
Paired with the high flow damping piston, the application specific valving is the basis for the predictable ride quality the company claims for this shock. The product details give no lift height, so the shock should be matched by position and mount type rather than by lift.
