The FOX Performance Series 987-24-018 front shock is engineered for 2020-2021 Jeep Gladiator JT models equipped with a 3.5- to 4-inch lift. Designed to improve both on-road comfort and off-road control, this smooth-body shock uses application-specific valving to deliver a connected ride, reduced vehicle sway, and predictable handling across changing terrain. Its extended travel capability helps increase off-road performance while maintaining controlled suspension movement during everyday driving.
The shock features a 2.5-inch impact-extruded 6061-T6 aluminum body with a Type II clear-anodized finish for improved heat dissipation and corrosion resistance. FOX aluminum construction transfers heat away from the shock more efficiently than conventional materials, helping provide consistent, fade-resistant damping during demanding use. A high-flow, velocity-sensitive damping system is tuned specifically for the Gladiator application, balancing ride comfort with performance-minded control.
An internal floating piston (IFP) separates the gas and oil to help maintain consistent damping performance, while the hydraulic top-out (HTO) piston helps manage suspension extension. The 5/8-inch hard-chrome shaft provides durable operation in harsh environments, and corrosion-resistant materials support long-term reliability. Built to be fully serviceable, rebuildable, and re-tunable, the FOX Performance Series 987-24-018 is a durable suspension upgrade for lifted Jeep Gladiator owners who want dependable performance on the road and off it.
