Overview
The Fox Racing Shox 985-24-127 is a Fox 2.0 Performance Series smooth body IFP shock, meaning it uses an internal floating piston design. It is listed at 24.750 in. extended and 15.650 in. collapsed, giving 9.100 in. of stroke. No vehicle is named for this shock, so applications must be checked separately.
Choosing a shock length
Shock length and stroke decide whether a shock can work through full suspension travel without bottoming out or binding. Extended and collapsed lengths should be compared with the suspension’s mounting points, and the stroke should match the travel the vehicle needs on and off the road. A longer stroke generally suits more articulation, while a short stroke can be limiting.
Smooth body IFP shocks are often chosen for a clean look and a compact package, since the piston sits inside the body rather than in a separate reservoir. Mounting eyes, bushings and bump stops should be checked when replacing a shock, and worn bushings can cause clunking that looks like a shock problem.
- Compare extended and collapsed lengths with the mounts
- Check eye and stud sizes before ordering
- Inspect bushings and bump stops during replacement
