Product Information

A Fox 2.0 Performance Series coilover for the 2011-2013 Ford F-150 in 2WD, built for 0 to 2 inches of lift. Fox's pitch is simple: an aluminum IFP shock with valving tuned to this truck, so it reaches further when the trail drops away and feels connected with less sway back on the road.

Why Upgrade to a 2.0 Performance Series Coilover

Per Fox, here is what this coilover changes:

  • More drop-out travel in most applications, so the wheel can follow the ground when the trail falls away instead of hanging in the air.
  • Performance-minded valving tuned for this truck. On pavement that reads as a connected ride with less body sway through the corners.
  • Aluminum bodies that shed heat four times better than conventional materials, which is what keeps the damping consistent and fade resistant on a long rough stretch.
  • A true internal floating piston keeps the gas and oil separated, backing up that consistent feel instead of letting the shock go soft as it works.
  • Fully serviceable and built to resist corrosion and harsh environments, so a tired shock can be rebuilt down the road rather than tossed.

Fitment Notes

From our fitment data, part number 983-02-052 covers the 2011-2013 Ford F-150 in Base trim. It is the 2WD version, built for 0 to 2 inches of lift. Does not fit the F-150 Raptor. If your truck is 4WD, a different trim, or outside that year range, confirm the part number before you order.

Install and Honest Talk

Fox does not spell out the install in the copy we have, so here is what is known and what is not. It is a coilover for the 2WD truck, built for 0 to 2 inches of lift, and it is fully serviceable. What comes off the truck, whether the factory spring or any hardware is reused, and whether you need a lift or a spring compressor to do the job safely are not stated: check the included instructions before the truck goes up on stands. Setting ride height is also a decision you make once and live with, so pick the height before you start.

The honest part. Connected means connected. Valving built to cut sway is valving that tells you what the road is doing, so expect to feel more of it than a plush setup would let through. Serviceable is a real plus, and it also means this is a shock you maintain, not one you forget about. What else you need: [VERIFY: whether the part number is one shock or a pair, hardware in the box, torque specs, wheel and tire clearance and an alignment after setting ride height, tune requirement.]

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.
