Overview
The Fox Racing Shox 980-02-012 is a 2.0 Series remote reservoir coilover shock in the 2.0 Coilover Res series. It is gas charged and carries a Universal Fit label with no make, model, year or chassis code named.
Fox engineers work with spring manufacturers to match springs and shocks, and this coilover range offers wide tuning options for varied driving conditions. Because the reservoir is separate from the shock body, plan the mounting for both parts.
Key features
- Remote reservoir coilover design
- 2.0 Coilover Res series
- Gas charged construction
- Tuning options described by Fox as wide-ranging
- Universal Fit label
Remote reservoir mounting
A remote reservoir coilover moves part of the damping system away from the shock body, which lets the shock sit in a tighter space while the reservoir goes elsewhere. The reservoir hose carries fluid and gas pressure between the parts, so it needs a route that avoids rubbing, heat and pinch points. Choose the reservoir spot first, then set the shock length around it.
Reservoir shocks often need the spring and shock geometry checked together, since a change in one shifts the other. Check that the reservoir can be reached for inspection and that its mounting bracket can handle trail shock loads. Look for hose chafing, loose clamps and oil at the reservoir fittings during routine checks.
- Pick the reservoir spot before the shock
- Keep the hose clear of heat and rock strikes
- Inspect fittings and clamps after each trip

Vehicle fitment
No vehicle is tied to this shock, so the Universal Fit label does not confirm a fit for any truck or Jeep. Check the extended and collapsed lengths and the reservoir location against your suspension before installing.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Plan the remote reservoir location and hose route before mounting the shock, and measure the reservoir against your mounting space.
What’s included
Check the package contents for reservoir hardware, hoses and mounts before starting the installation.
