Product Information

A front coilover for the 2015-2020 Ford F-150 2WD: an oversized FOX Performance Elite 2.5 Series unit that sets a 1-2in lift up front. The job is control: more wheel travel, more oil, a larger aluminum body to shed heat, and adjusters you can dial in for the terrain, the load and the speed you are running.

Why Upgrade to a Performance Elite Coilover

Per FOX, here is what the Performance Elite brings to the front of the truck:

  • Extended wheel travel, so the front end keeps working over rough ground instead of topping out or bottoming out.
  • A larger aluminum body and more internal oil volume, which means the shock stays in control on a long washboard run instead of fading as it heats up.
  • Race-developed high-flow pistons, so the damping does what the adjuster tells it to.
  • A 7/8in hard chromed shaft and a redundant seal pack, designed for harsh environments and extreme conditions, so mud and dust are part of the plan rather than a problem.
  • Adjustable for terrain, load and speed. FOX calls this its widest range of adjustability, so you can set it soft for the daily commute and firm it up with a bed full of gear.

Fitment Notes

Fits 2015-2020 Ford F-150 base trims, front position. The part number is listed for 2WD trucks. Does not fit the F-150 Raptor. [VERIFY: 4WD exclusion, and any cab or bed configuration limits.]

Install and Honest Talk

This is a front coilover that sets the truck at a 1-2in lift up front, which changes the stance and is a very different look and feel from a stock-height truck. The upside is adjustability, and that is also the tradeoff: you have to spend time dialing it in for how you actually drive, and a shock that FOX describes as fully serviceable is a shock you maintain and rebuild over its life, not one you forget about. It also costs real money next to a plain replacement shock, and it is worth it only if you use the travel and the adjustment. Expect the ride to feel different at every setting. Check the included instructions for what comes off the truck and what stays. [VERIFY: quantity in the box (one coilover or a pair), what R/R and DSC in the title stand for, and any preload or ride height setup steps.]

What else you need: [VERIFY: supporting parts, hardware in the box, longer studs or bolts, torque specs, alignment after install, tire and wheel clearance at the new height, and whether a matching rear shock is called for.] Check the included instructions before you order supporting parts.
