This Fox 985-62-012 Performance Series 2.0 Snap Ring IFP shock/strut offers an excellent way to enhance the handling and comfort of your GMC Sierra 1500 while adding additional lift height. These shocks are engineered for both superior on-road smoothness and precise off-road control.

Mono-tube Design

This Fox shock comprises a mono-tube internal nitrogen-charged reservoir enclosed by an Internal Floating Piston (IFP) segregating the charged gas from the shock oil. This feature prevents oil and nitrogen mixing, a scenario possible in stock twin-tube shocks. This segregation optimizes performance, leveraging the factory-tuned precision valving to its maximum potential. 

Adjustable Lift Height

When installing the Fox Snap Ring shocks, you can choose three preset preload settings that enable a selection of 0”, 1”, or 2” of front lift, providing adjustable height options. Included is a specially formed spring seat that allows the use of the factory springs and mounting hardware. This makes these shocks effectively a performance leveling kit.

Shock Construction

The one-piece 2-inch diameter shock body is built from 6061-T6 aluminum that is clear-coated to resist corrosion and rust. Mounting components are black-anodized. The 5/8-inch shock shaft is chrome-plated and heat-treated for durability.

Snap Ring vs Coilover, what is the difference?

The main difference between the snap ring shocks compared to coilovers is that with the snap ring shocks, you are reusing the existing strut coil springs and mounting hardware, while coilovers include the coil springs. This works great unless your existing springs are in poor condition. Otherwise, the Fox 2.0 Snap Ring Shock performs great as a leveling kit and suspension upgrade while being more economical than traditional coilovers.
