Description
Part number 987-02-008 is a FOX® 2.5 Performance Series IFP front shock, sold individually, engineered as a direct bolt-on upgrade for 2024–2025 Toyota Tacoma (HEV, Sport, SR, SR5, Trailhunter, TRD Off-Road, TRD PreRunner, TRD Pro, TRD Sport, TRD Sport Premium) running 0–2 inches of front lift, and 2026 Toyota Tacoma running 0.5–2.25 inches of front lift.
IMPORTANT: The front lift range differs by model year on this part number — 0–2 inches for 2024–2025 Tacoma and 0.5–2.25 inches for 2026 Tacoma. This shock pairs with FOX® part number 987-24-052 as the rear companion in a matched 2.5 Performance Series front-and-rear setup; however, SR and TRD PreRunner trims are not listed in the 987-24-052 rear fitment, so confirm rear-suspension compatibility for those specific trims before ordering a matched set. FOX® also offers part number 985-02-155, a 2.0 Performance Series IFP front shock, for this same Tacoma generation — confirm which shock body diameter you want before ordering.
FOX® 2.5 Performance Series shocks for the Toyota Tacoma are a bolt-on solution with vehicle-specific valving and larger pistons to improve on- and off-road performance. They level the vehicle without straining ball joints or linkages, maintaining OEM reliability and vehicle behavior.
Monotube shocks utilize Type II anodized aluminum bodies, efficiently dissipating heat and preventing corrosion. The 2.5-inch shock body features an internal floating piston (IFP) to separate the shock oil from the high-pressure nitrogen, optimizing damping.
Bolt-on 2.5 Performance Series shocks ride in comfort and increase damping capacity, engineered to offer the benefits of a 2.5-inch shock without the complexity of a reservoir or compression adjuster. FOX® backs this shock with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
