Steel Shock wo/Sch 8.9in 2.75C-5R Linear

The FOX FACTORY INC Steel Shock without Schedule 8.9-inch 2.75C-5R Linear (SKU FOX983-95-539-16) is a purpose-built monotube damping unit engineered for high-demand suspension applications requiring precise pressure isolation and responsive dampening characteristics. This track-type internal floating piston shock delivers controlled compression and rebound across a wide range of terrain conditions, with a 2-inch outside diameter frame designed for robust integration into professional-grade suspension systems.

The unit features a C2.75-R5 valve configuration with a bulb-type internal design, compressing to 14.80 inches and extending to 23.70 inches for a total stroke range of 8.9 inches. Zinc-plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments, while the monotube architecture enables consistent, fade-resistant performance through repeated cycling. The internal floating piston design isolates gas pressure from oil, maintaining stable damping curves even under sustained high-speed operation or extreme temperature swings common in off-road recovery, patrol work, or off-highway vehicle applications.

Buyers integrating this shock into field-tested platforms benefit from FOX Factory's reputation for manufacturing dampers that survive punishing real-world conditions. The R5 rebound tuning and C2.75 compression valving are matched to specific load ranges and vehicle weights, making this component a direct OEM replacement for compatible applications. At 5.22 pounds per unit, the shock delivers substantial internal volume and thermal mass for vehicles requiring stable suspension geometry over extended operational periods. This is a single shock unit sold individually.
