FOX 3.0 Factory Bypass Shock delivers 10 inches of precise wheel travel and tunable damping via its external bypass system for demanding off-road applications.
Built around a 3.0-inch main tube with an integrated remote reservoir, this shock utilizes independent bypass lines to direct high-volume fluid past precision pistons, maintaining consistent stroke performance across rocks, ruts, and high-speed desert whoops. The unit weighs 18 pounds and ships in packaging measuring 42 x 11 x 11 inches for standard freight handling.
-
Corrosion resistant finishes:Black anodized CNC machined aluminum components feature a protective Cerakote ceramic coating applied over a zinc-plated basecoat, resisting salt, moisture, and trail abrasion.
-
Scoring-resistant shaft:A 17-4 H900 hard chrome plated stainless steel piston rod safeguards internal sealing surfaces during repeated high-load compression and rebound cycles.
-
Track-ready adjustment:Multiple external bypass tubes enable rapid flow adjustments and stage-tuning swaps without removing the shock from the vehicle or disassembling the dampener core.
-
Field serviceable architecture:Internal valving, bearings, and seal kits are fully accessible, allowing riders and teams to rebuild the unit on-site rather than waiting for factory returns.
-
Lifted truck compatibility: Standard eyelet mounting ends interface directly with most upper control arms, lower links, and steering knuckles designed for three-inch to six-inch lifts.
-
Advanced thermal management: External bypass routing separates hot working fluid from the primary spring chamber, reducing heat fade and maintaining predictable pedal feel hour after hour.
The shock relies on JM92 MIL-SPEC oil developed specifically for competitive off-road racing, ensuring stable viscosity across extreme temperature swings. If your build requires wider track width or custom bracket fabrication, the remote canister layout accommodates non-factory mounting geometries while preserving standard pivot spacing. Production carries the manufacturer’s standard limited warranty against material and workmanship defects under normal recreational or competition use.
