Overview
The Fox Racing Shox 880-02-418 is a pair of 2.5 Factory Series coilover reservoir shocks for front 2WD and 4WD suspensions. They are designed for long travel suspension use, and the pair comes with springs and hardware.
Fox says its engineers test each application to maximize suspension travel and performance on and off the road. The coilover design uses an external reservoir and is presented as a direct replacement.
Key features
- Coilover design with external reservoir
- Springs included with the pair
- Designed for long travel suspension
- Hydraulic, gas-charged damping
- Front position for 2WD and 4WD
Setting up coilover springs
Coilover shocks carry the spring load and the damping in one unit, so the spring and shock must work together. On a front suspension, the shock controls how quickly the wheel rises and falls over ruts and rocks, while the spring holds corner height and absorbs larger hits. Long travel designs rely on that pairing to keep the wheel moving instead of bottoming out, which is why spring and damper settings matter as much as the shock body.
An external reservoir gives the damper more room to dissipate heat during sustained off-road use, which helps consistency on long descents. Reservoir shocks also need the hose routed clear of brackets, tire contact and moving parts, so check the hose path during installation and again after the first trail runs.
- Check spring rate against vehicle weight and intended use
- Inspect reservoir hose and fittings for seeping oil
- Recheck mounting hardware after the first trail runs
- Keep the damper body clear of tire and brake line contact
