Overview
The Fox Racing Shox 980-24-029 is a 2.0 Series emulsion shock with a remote reservoir, a smooth-body damper with 5-inch travel and a 5/8-inch shaft. The remote reservoir is a separate tube linked to the shock body. It adds oil capacity beside the damper, which helps the shock keep its damping steady on rough terrain.
The body is 2.0 inch in diameter with a black and cadmium finish. The reservoir measures 2.0 x 8.0 inch. Extended length is 15.75 inch and collapsed length is 10.65 inch, so check those two figures against your mounting points first. It is a universal fit shock, not built for one vehicle.
Key features
- 2.0 inch body diameter
- Remote reservoir measuring 2.0 x 8.0 inch
- 5-inch travel
- 5/8-inch shaft diameter
- Bushing mount at both ends
- Black and cadmium finish
Remote reservoir mounting
This emulsion design uses a remote reservoir connected to the body by a hose, which keeps the damper body from overheating and holds oil volume steady under repeated hits. Mount the reservoir where it sits clear of tires, linkage and body panels, and secure it so it does not swing against anything at full travel.
Bushing mounts at each end depend on the bushing and bolt size, so measure both before ordering. With 5-inch travel and the listed lengths, check the shock through its full stroke on the vehicle before final tightening. Worn bushings should be replaced rather than reused.
- Check the hose for rubbing and kinks
- Inspect bushings for splitting
- Look for oil seepage at the reservoir fitting
- Recheck bolts after the first few drives

Vehicle fitment
It is a universal fit shock, so no particular vehicle is named for it. Compare the 15.75-inch extended and 10.65-inch collapsed lengths and the bushing mount against your mounting points before ordering.
Coilover and air-series Fox shocks are separate part numbers and are not covered by this emulsion shock listing. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Bushing mounts depend on the bushing and bolt size at each end, so confirm both before fitting the shock. Keep the remote reservoir clear of tires, linkage and moving parts once it is mounted.
What’s included
The shock comes with a remote reservoir. Check the package contents for mounting bushings, bolts and brackets before installation.
Not included: Confirm whether mounting hardware and brackets are in the box before installation.
