Why this kit
The step up from the Fox 2.0 for a 2005-2016 Super Duty on a 2.5 or 3 in lift, without going to a remote reservoir. The 2.5 Performance Series IFP HTO uses a 2.5 in body with a larger piston and much more oil, so it runs cooler and holds its damping longer on a heavy truck than a 2.0 can, while staying a simple bolt-in. Two 987-24-002 fronts for 2 to 3.5 in of front lift and two 987-24-055 rears for 2 to 3.5 in of rear lift, the pairing FOX lists for this band. This is the shock for the one-owner 6.0, 6.4 or 6.7 that tows every weekend and is going to keep doing it.

Questions
2.5 HTO or 2.0 IFP?
Same FOX valving philosophy. The 2.5 has a larger body and piston and roughly 50 percent more oil, so it fades less on long rough roads and under heavy loads. If the truck is a daily driver that occasionally tows, the 2.0 2-3.5 in kit is the value pick. If it works hard every week, the 2.5.
Leveled front, stock rear?
This kit assumes the rear is raised 2 in or more. For a leveling kit with a stock rear, keep this 987-24-002 front and use the 987-24-054 rear (0 to 1.5 in), sold individually, or ask us and we will pair them.
Should I add the steering stabilizer?
If the truck wanders on the highway, follows ruts, or twitches on bigger tires, yes. The 985-24-001 is a 2.0 IFP damper on the drag link that bolts to the factory stabilizer mounts in about 20 minutes and fits 2008-2016 Super Duty. Pick "Shocks + steering stabilizer" above to add one. 2005-2007 trucks use a different damper; choose "Shocks only."
How long does installation take?
Rears are 20 to 30 minutes per side. Fronts on the solid axle are a bolt-in shock, about 30 to 45 minutes per side, no spring compressor needed.
What is the warranty?
FOX covers 2.0 and 2.5 Performance Series IFP shocks purchased after 3/30/2025 with a limited lifetime warranty against defects, to the original retail owner through the original place of purchase. Keep your Hannah Suspension order confirmation.
