Product Information

This is the rear Dirt Logic 2.25 shock from Fabtech's 6 inch lift system for the 2021-2024 Ford F-150 4WD. It takes the place of the factory rear shock with a larger 2.25 body that Fabtech tunes around the lift and the bigger tires that go with it. One part number, one job: damping the rear of a lifted truck the way the kit was designed to ride.

Why Upgrade to a Dirt Logic 2.25 Rear Shock

Per Fabtech, here is what the Dirt Logic 2.25 changes:

  • A larger, more robust shock body than the factory unit, so the rear end is riding on a bigger damper built for the lift instead of a stock shock stretched to its limit.
  • The 2.25 size is what sets it apart from other take apart replacement shocks, and the payoff is a better ride both on pavement and off it.
  • Pre tuned for the Fabtech suspension it belongs to, so the damping is matched to the 6 inch lift rather than left for you to dial in.
  • That tuning accounts for larger tires, which is where a lot of lifted trucks get bouncy, so the heavier rolling weight is already in the math.

Fitment Notes

Fits the 2021-2024 Ford F-150 4WD in Base and Tremor trims, plus the Raptor for 2023-2024 only. Does not fit the F-150 Lightning or the Raptor R. This part number is the rear 2.25 DL shock that belongs to Fabtech's 6 inch lift system, not the complete lift kit. [VERIFY: whether this shock is intended only for trucks running the full Fabtech 6in system, and 2WD exclusion beyond the 4WD in the title.]

Install and Honest Talk

Fabtech's copy does not describe the install, so the details on how the rear shock swap goes come from the included instructions. Expect the factory rear shock to come off and this one to go on in its place. The honest part is that this is a shock tuned for a specific setup: Fabtech says the damping is pre tuned for its own suspension with larger tires, so on a truck at a different ride height or on stock rubber you are running a damper matched to something you do not have. It is also one piece of a lift system, so budget for the rest of the kit if the goal is 6 inches of lift. What else you need: [VERIFY: the rest of the Fabtech 6in lift system, bolts and hardware in the box, torque specs, tire and wheel clearance at 6 inches of lift, what comes off the truck.]

No Robots. Just Car People.

Buying parts for your Mustang or F-150 should not feel like homework. Too many stores bury you in a giant catalog, slap the same distributor description on every product, and leave you guessing whether it even fits.


We do it the other way. We carry the brands you already trust, we tell you what a part actually does, and we give you the truth about the tradeoffs before you spend a dollar. Drone on that exhaust. Ride quality on those springs. Whether you need a tune. The stuff the big catalogs leave out.
