Fox 2017+ Ford SD 2.5 Perf Elite Series Reservoir Shock Front R/R 2-3.5-Inch Lift (Pair) w/DSC Adj.

Front reservoir shocks for the 2025 Ford F-150, sold as a pair, for trucks running a 2-3.5 inch lift. The FOX 2.5 Performance Elite is an oversized, adjustable shock with one job: add wheel travel and keep the front end under control when the ground gets rough.

Why Upgrade to a Reservoir Shock

Per FOX, here is what the 2.5 Performance Elite changes:

• More wheel travel and more control up front, so the truck stays planted through the rough stuff instead of skipping across it.
• A larger aluminum body sheds heat more efficiently, and more oil inside means more control on the big hits, all of it moving through race-developed high-flow pistons.
• A 7/8 inch hard chromed shaft and a redundant seal pack, designed for harsh environments and extreme conditions, which is exactly where you will be using it.
• DSC adjustment lets you dial the shock for terrain, load and speed instead of living with one setting, and it is the widest range of adjustability in the FOX lineup.
• Fully serviceable, meant to be rebuilt and run for a lifetime of use.

Fitment Notes

Fits the 2025 Ford F-150 in Base, Lightning, Raptor and Tremor trims. Does not fit the F-150 Raptor R. These are front shocks, sold as a pair, for trucks sitting on a 2-3.5 inch lift.

Install and Honest Talk

The stock front pair comes off, this pair goes on, and the reservoir is the part to plan around, so go by the included instructions for where it mounts, the step by step, the tools and what is in the box. Once they are in, the adjuster is yours, and that is the honest tradeoff: an adjustable shock only rides as well as the person setting it. Dial it for terrain, load and speed, then keep notes on what worked so you are not guessing next trip. This is a lift-range shock, so it belongs on a truck already sitting 2-3.5 inches up, not a stock-height rig. Fully serviceable also means it is a shock you will service over its life, not fit and forget.

Free US shipping over $99

Orders over $99 ship free by ground to the lower 48 states. Alaska, Hawaii and Canada are not included; shipping to those addresses is calculated at checkout. Some oversize or heavy parts (long-tube exhausts, bumpers, full lift kits) go freight instead of parcel: free to a commercial address with a loading dock, and residential freight delivery carries an additional charge.

When it ships

Parts ship direct from the distributor warehouse that stocks them, so dispatch timing depends on the part, not on a single cutoff. You get a confirmation with tracking as soon as it leaves, and tracking shows the delivery estimate for your address. If a part is backordered we email you an expected availability date.

Missing or damaged items

Report a short shipment or shipping damage within 5 business days of delivery. For a packing error, send us the date or package code printed on the label along with the part number so we can trace it with the warehouse.

We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.

To start a return, you can contact us at help@anythingcoyote.com or fill our our contact form. If your return is accepted, we’ll send you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted. 

You can always contact us for any return question at help@anythingcoyote.com.
