Description
The FOX® 2.0 Performance Elite 5in. Emulsion Coilover Shock (P/N 981-20-101) is a 2.0-inch-body emulsion-type coilover shock with a 5/8″ shaft and 5 inches of travel, combining FOX® race-proven damping technology with a spring perch in a single easy-to-mount assembly.
IMPORTANT: This is an emulsion-type coilover — the shock body itself holds both the damping oil and the nitrogen charge, with no separate remote or piggyback reservoir. This 5″ travel version is closely related to FOX® P/N 981-20-102, the same Performance Elite 2.0 coilover emulsion shock in a 6.5″ travel length — confirm your required travel before ordering, as the two are not interchangeable. A coil spring matched to your application’s spring rate is required and is not included with this shock.
Performance Elite Series coilover shocks are the foundation of a race-winning suspension. They combine race-proven damping technology with a means to suspend the vehicle in one easy-to-mount assembly, eliminating the need for a separate primary spring setup.
Whether flying over desert whoops or climbing off-camber terrain, this coilover delivers the damping performance, suspension control, and proper spring rate support to handle demanding off-road conditions. It comes in several travel configurations to match different applications.
The shock body is finished in clear zinc plating for corrosion resistance, and all aluminum components are black anodized and CNC machined. FOX® backs this shock with its official limited warranty; full warranty terms are available from FOX® directly.

This shock is a universal application component sold by travel length, body diameter, and shaft size rather than by specific vehicle fitment. Confirm your application’s required travel (5″) and coil spring rate before ordering — the closely related 6.5″ travel version (P/N 981-20-102) is not a substitute for this listing.
