Part Numbers & Details
Choose Between 0-2" or 2-3" Front Lift
Select the front coilover configuration that matches your desired lift height, vehicle setup, and suspension requirements.
Adjustable DSC Compression Control
External compression adjusters allow the shocks to be tuned for changing terrain, driving conditions, vehicle weight, and accessory loads.
Built for Demanding On-Road & Off-Road Use
Large 2.5" aluminum shock bodies, external reservoirs, increased oil capacity, and race-developed pistons improve heat management and suspension control.
Upper Control Arms Required for 2-3" Lift
The 883-06-166 front coilovers require aftermarket upper control arms for proper alignment and increased suspension articulation. Upper control arms are sold separately.

Product Details
FOX Factory Race Series 2.5 Performance Elite coilovers and shocks are designed to improve handling, comfort, and suspension control on pavement and demanding off-road terrain. The oversized aluminum shock bodies dissipate heat efficiently, while the increased oil capacity and FOX race-developed high-flow pistons provide consistent damping during extended use.
The adjustable Dual Speed Compression, or DSC, system allows low-speed and high-speed compression damping to be tuned independently for different terrain, driving styles, vehicle loads, and installed accessories.
Engine & Front Load Considerations
Diesel-equipped Ram 1500 models carry significantly more front-end weight than comparable V8 models. Because FOX developed these coilovers around the 5.7L HEMI using standard 450 lb/in springs, diesel models or trucks carrying additional front-end weight may require higher-rate springs.
The pictured Ram 1500 4WD diesel used 600 lb/in x 16" Eibach springs and achieved approximately 3" of total front lift with little to no spring preload. This setup was selected with plans for a future front bumper and winch. For diesel trucks without substantial additional front weight, 550 lb/in springs are generally recommended to balance ride quality and lift height.

Front Spring Upgrades
FOX coilovers are supplied with 450 lb/in x 16" springs as the standard configuration. Higher-rate Eibach springs are available for diesel engines, added accessories, increased front-end weight, or specific ride-height requirements.

Bump Stop & Helper Spring Options

Timbren helper springs do not increase the vehicle manufacturer's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, or GVWR.
