Steel Shock wo/Sch 7.2in 3C-12R Digressive

The FOX Factory Steel Shock wo/Sch 7.2in 3C-12R Digressive is a monotube damping unit purpose-built for high-performance off-road and tactical vehicle suspension systems where precise control over impact and rebound dynamics is non-negotiable. Designed for users operating in demanding environments—from law enforcement mobile command platforms to military reconnaissance vehicles—this shock absorber delivers the repeatability and durability required when mission-critical equipment must remain stable across unforgiving terrain.

Built with a steel body finished in zinc plating for corrosion resistance, the 7.2-inch stroke unit employs FOX's Internal Floating Piston (IFP) monotube architecture paired with a C3-R12 digressive valve configuration. This valve design progressively increases resistance as suspension velocity rises, preventing harsh bottoming while maintaining initial-strike compliance—critical for platforms that must traverse obstacle fields without losing payload stability. The 29.05-inch overall length with 13.20-inch compressed and 20.40-inch extended dimensions accommodates mid-travel suspension geometry, while the 2.00-inch outer diameter integrates with standard shock mounting hardware commonly found in tactical vehicle platforms.

Field operators and platform engineers will benefit from this shock's ability to maintain damping consistency across temperature extremes and extended deployment cycles. The digressive valve character excels in scenarios where suspension must absorb both low-speed obstacles and high-speed impacts without fade, making it ideal for vehicles carrying sensitive surveillance or communications equipment that cannot tolerate excessive movement. Installation requires proper mounting hardware and alignment verification; compatibility should be confirmed with your specific platform's suspension geometry before ordering.
