FOX Factory Race Series 883-26-082 Front Bypass Shock for 2020-2021 Jeep Gladiator with 3.5-4.5-Inch Lift

Developed from our off-road race shocks, FOX Factory Race Series combines race-proven technology with new, cutting-edge features to provide enhanced ride-quality and winning damping performance you can bolt onto your Jeep. Application specific valving to maximize performance. Uncompromised performance through FOX’s patented internal bypass technology delivers the feel of near-endless suspension travel. Exclusive internal bypass technology allows oil to flow around the piston at some points of the stroke – while creating humongous pressure at other points – supporting the vehicle like no other product can. Floating through terrain is accomplished with FOX’s ride zone – combining a race-developed shock piston, internal bypass and Dual Speed Compression adjustment – allowing fine tuning for weight, terrain and speed. Dominate any terrain with the brute strength of 3- and 2.5-inch aluminum bodies, cactus cooler reservoirs and 7/8” shafts with redundant seals, all proven in the harshest of environments under the toughest of conditions.

• Performance Tuned For Vehicle Specific Application
• Aluminum Body Dissipates Heat Faster Than Steel
• Black Anodized CNC Machined Aluminum Components
• External Reservoir System Dissipates Heat Fast
• Multiple Internal Damping Zones

The FOX Factory Race Series 883-26-082 front bypass shock is engineered for 2020-2021 Jeep Gladiator models equipped with a 3.5- to 4.5-inch suspension lift. Developed from FOX off-road race shocks, this application-specific suspension component delivers race-proven damping performance and improved ride quality for demanding trail, desert, and high-speed driving conditions. Installation requires a front driveshaft modification or compatible front driveshaft setup.
FOX patented internal bypass technology creates multiple damping zones throughout the shock stroke. This design allows oil to flow around the piston in selected areas while generating increased pressure in others, helping provide controlled suspension movement and a planted, consistent feel across changing terrain. The integrated ride zone combines a race-developed piston, internal bypass architecture, and Dual Speed Compression adjustment for precise tuning based on vehicle weight, terrain, and driving speed.
Built for severe off-road use, the FOX 883-26-082 features a heat-dissipating aluminum body, external reservoir system, black anodized CNC-machined aluminum components, and a durable 7/8-inch shaft with redundant seals. These components help manage heat, maintain consistent damping, and withstand the harsh conditions associated with high-performance Jeep applications. Application-specific valving further supports balanced performance without sacrificing off-road capability.
