Description
Part number 883-26-113 is the FOX® 2.5 Performance Elite Series rear shock absorber for the 2005–2023 Toyota Tacoma, delivering 9.55 inches of travel and 2–3 inches of rear lift height via a 2.5-inch aluminum-body reservoir shock with Dual Speed Compression (DSC) adjustment.
IMPORTANT: This shock fits the 6-lug Tacoma only. On 2005–2014 RWD models, only the 6-lug variant is covered. On 2016–2023 4WD models, all submodels are covered . On RWD 2016–2023 models (Limited, SR, SR5, TRD Off-Road, TRD Sport), the 6-lug requirement applies. Verify your lug count before ordering. This listing is for the rear shock only — the front shock for the Tacoma is sold separately under a different part number.
The FOX® 2.5 Performance Elite Series shock is purpose-built for the second- and third-generation Tacoma platform. The design addresses the factory forward rake by providing a level ride height without reducing droop travel, and increases overall suspension articulation for improved trail capability. The external reservoir increases internal oil volume, which allows the shock to dissipate heat more efficiently than a monotube design of equivalent body diameter — a direct benefit during sustained off-road use where repeated high-speed compression cycles would otherwise cause fade.
The 2.5-inch body is impact extruded and CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, then hard-anodized with a Type III finish for corrosion and abrasion resistance. The 7/8-inch shaft is hard chrome plated, heat-treated alloy steel. A race-developed high-flow piston drives application-specific valving tuned to balance compliance on rough terrain with stability at highway speeds. A redundant sealing system — main seal, wiper seal, and scraper seal — protects the shaft and maintains consistent damping over the life of the shock. PTFE-lined, heat-treated alloy steel spherical bearings are used at both mount points.
The external reservoir carries a Dual Speed Compression (DSC) adjuster, positioned to clear aggressive tires at full steering lock. The DSC allows separate tuning of low-speed and high-speed compression damping, so the shock can be adapted for load changes, varying terrain, and driver preference without tools beyond the adjuster itself. The top mount is a stem configuration; the bottom mount is an eyelet. FOX® suspension products are backed by the factory warranty — refer to ridefox.com for full terms and conditions.

Part number 883-26-113 fits the 2005–2023 Toyota Tacoma in the rear position with 2–3 inches of lift. Coverage spans both second-generation (2005–2015) and third-generation (2016–2023) Tacomas across multiple trim levels and drivetrain configurations; the 6-lug fitment restriction applies to certain RWD trims — verify your configuration using the fitment details in this listing before purchasing. This shock is a 2.5-inch external reservoir design with DSC adjustment, purpose-tuned for the Tacoma platform. Note: This is the rear shock only. The front FOX® Performance Elite shock for the Tacoma is a separate part number — confirm you are purchasing the correct position for your application.
