Overview
The Fox Racing Shox 2.0 Series Emulsion Shock with Remote Reservoir, part 980-24-032, is a shock with a 2.0 in. body and a remote reservoir for off-road suspension. The shock has 10 in. of travel, a 16.1 in. collapsed length and a 26.1 in. extended length.
Fox describes its smooth body shocks as available in a range of sizes that can be valved to suit a vehicle’s driving needs. This 2.0 Series model has a bushing mount and a 5/8 in. diameter shaft, and its reservoir is gas charged.

Setting up a remote reservoir
An emulsion shock mixes gas into the oil, which helps it resist aeration and heat buildup during long off-road runs. A remote reservoir adds oil capacity and separates the gas cushion from the damping body, so the shock can keep working after repeated hard use. Routing the reservoir and hose is the main installation challenge, since the reservoir needs open space and the hose must avoid tire contact, heat sources and sharp edges.
Bushing mounts are common on shocks meant for articulation because they allow the body to pivot as the axle moves. Check the bushings for cracks or flattening at every service, and replace any that are worn so the shock does not bind. Inspect the shaft and seals for oil seepage or scoring, since small damage at the shaft can quickly ruin the shock. Keeping the shaft clean and the mounting hardware tight helps the shock last.
- Route the hose away from heat and tires
- Check bushings for cracks at every service
- Look for seepage at the shaft seal

Vehicle fitment
The fit is universal, with no specific vehicle, year or chassis code assigned. Compare the collapsed length of 16.1 in. and extended length of 26.1 in. with your mounting points before fitting.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
A remote reservoir needs a mounting spot with room for the reservoir and hose, so confirm clearance before installing. Gas charged shocks are pressurized, so keep them away from heat and never open or heat the body.
What’s included
Check the package contents for hardware and hose before starting the install.
