Overview
The Fox Racing Shox 985-24-087 is a rear Fox 2.0 Performance Series smooth body IFP shock that fits the 1989–2007 Toyota Land Cruiser (Base). It is a gas charged, direct replacement shock that bolts in place of the original unit for vehicles with a 3 to 5 inch lift.
An internal floating piston inside the body separates the shock oil from a high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber. Each application was tested to maximize suspension travel on and off the road.
Key features
- Internal floating piston keeps shock oil apart from the nitrogen gas charge
- Smooth body with an aluminum shock body
- Gas charged design for the rear position
- Direct replacement, bolt-on fitment for a 3 to 5 inch lift range
- Extended length of 27.25 inch and collapsed length of 16.65 inch
- Stroke of 10.6 inch for suspension travel
Land Cruiser rear shock fit
Rear shocks on a Land Cruiser carry axle control over rough tracks and on pavement, and they work with the springs to set how the body settles. A 3 to 5 inch lift changes the geometry, so the shock’s stroke has to match the travel the new height allows. Before buying, measure the current extended and collapsed length and compare them with the figures for the shock you plan to fit.
Aluminum bodies are common on rear shocks because they are light, though the seals and shaft still need regular checks. Gas charged shocks should never be opened, cut or heated. Inspect the eye bushings and mounting hardware at the same time as the shock, since a worn bushing can make a new shock feel loose on the axle.
- Measure lift before ordering
- Check eye bushings and bolts
- Replace in pairs on one axle

Vehicle fitment
It fits the 1989–2007 Toyota Land Cruiser in the Base trim.
Land Cruiser years after 2007 and other Toyota models are not covered by this fitment. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Match the shock to your lift: the stated range is 3 to 5 inches, and a different lift height calls for a different shock. Gas charged shocks are pressurized, so never open or heat the body.
What’s included
Mounting hardware may not come with the shock, so confirm the bolts and bushings before installing.
