FOX® 2.5 Performance Elite Rear Shock Pair for 2018-2026 Wrangler 883-26-054

Description

Part number 883-26-054 is the FOX® 2.5 Performance Elite Series rear shock absorber pair for the 2018–2026 Jeep Wrangler, featuring a 2.5-inch smooth body, external reservoir, 11.17 inches of travel, and application-specific valving designed for 2–3 inches of lift.

IMPORTANT: This listing is for the rear shock pair only. These shocks are designed for a 2–3 inch lift application on the 2018–2026 Jeep Wrangler (all trims, all drivetrains, all fuel types, all door configurations). Verify your lift height before purchasing — a separate FOX® Performance Elite part number is required for the front position.

FOX® Performance Elite Series 2.5 shocks bring race-developed suspension technology to the street and trail in a direct bolt-on package. Derived from FOX’s off-road race shock program, the Performance Elite line delivers damping characteristics refined in competition environments, packaged for everyday truck and SUV applications. The 2.5-inch body provides significantly greater oil and nitrogen capacity than a standard 2.0-inch shock, reducing heat buildup and maintaining consistent damping performance over extended off-road use.

The external reservoir further expands fluid and gas volume beyond what the body alone can provide, allowing the shock to maintain precise damping control under sustained articulation and high-speed trail use. The reservoir gives these shocks a distinctive race appearance while serving a functional role in thermal management. Application-specific valving is calibrated for the Wrangler’s suspension geometry and the 2–3 inch lift range, ensuring the damping curve is matched to the vehicle rather than being a generic off-the-shelf tune.

Construction centers on a 2.5-inch impact-extruded and CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum body with hard-anodized finish for corrosion resistance. The 7/8-inch hard chrome plated, heat-treated alloy steel shaft resists bending and surface wear. A race-developed high-flow piston design and redundant sealing pack — comprising main seal, wiper seal, and scraper seal — maintain fluid integrity over the shock’s service life. PTFE-lined spherical bearings are used at both mounts for smooth articulation and long-term durability. FOX® backs the 2.5 Performance Elite Series purchased after 3/30/2025 with a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for the original retail owner.
