FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Rear Shocks – DSC EVO – 1.5–2.5 in. Lift | Ford Ranger 4WD (2024–2026) (883-26-181)

Part #: 883-26-181

Overview

The FOX 883-26-181 2.5 Performance Elite Series rear shock is designed for the 2024–2026 Ford Ranger. It controls suspension movement in the lift configuration listed below, helping the truck stay composed on uneven roads and off-road surfaces.

External reservoirs add oil capacity, while DSC EVO provides separate high- and low-speed compression tuning. Its high-speed Variable Valve Control system adjusts damping without adding preload to the shim stack, allowing larger-impact control to be adjusted while retaining small-bump sensitivity.
