FOX 2.5 Performance Series HTO Rear Shock | 2021-2026 Ford Bronco 0-2" Lift

FOX 2.5 Performance Series IFP HTO Rear Shock for 2021-2026 Ford Bronco with 0-2" Lift

The FOX 2.5 Performance Series IFP HTO Rear Shock delivers race-proven suspension technology for 2021-2026 Ford Bronco owners seeking superior ride control, improved off-road capability, and enhanced durability. Designed specifically for Broncos running factory ride height up to 2 inches of rear lift, this premium rear shock combines FOX's Internal Floating Piston (IFP) architecture with innovative Hydraulic Top-Out (HTO) technology to provide exceptional damping performance both on-road and off-road.

Because the FOX 987-62-001 uses a massive 2.5-inch impact-extruded 6061-T6 aluminum shock body combined with position-sensitive Hydraulic Top-Out damping technology, it provides increased damping capacity, reduced shock fade, and significantly improved ride comfort compared to conventional factory shocks. FOX engineers specifically developed the HTO system to reduce harsh top-out events that commonly occur when larger tires, additional gear, overlanding equipment, or suspension lifts are added.

FOX suspension engineers describe Hydraulic Top-Out technology as a method of introducing position-sensitive rebound control that slows shaft speed near full extension, improving comfort and control while reducing unwanted suspension harshness. This makes the 987-62-001 particularly effective for Bronco owners running larger off-road tires, rooftop tents, recovery gear, camping equipment, or other adventure-focused upgrades.

The Internal Floating Piston separates high-pressure nitrogen gas from the shock oil, maintaining consistent damping characteristics even during prolonged off-road use. Combined with FOX's application-specific valving and high-flow piston design, the result is predictable handling, improved wheel control, and reduced suspension fade in demanding terrain.

Whether you're navigating rocky trails, forest service roads, desert terrain, or long highway journeys, the FOX Performance Series HTO rear shock delivers the confidence, durability, and ride quality expected from one of the most respected names in off-road suspension engineering.
