Backstory
Like our venerable Fox 2.0 offerings, we tuned and tested these Fox 2.5 shocks over tens of thousands of off-road miles to provide the durability, comfort, and traction that you can’t get from any other direct replacement shock.
Especially when it comes to the rear shocks, you dont have to be a racer to overheat a shock on a Vanagon. A twenty-minute drive on a washboard road at high speed can generate enough heat to seriously challenge the capability of our 2.0 shocks. These 2.5 series shocks dont even break a sweat. If you are looking for the absolute no-holds-barred solution for your Vanagon, look no further.This is the last rear shock you willever have to buy for your Vanagon, unless someone steals them!
This long travel, Fox DSG, compression damping adjustable kit features low and high speed compression adjustment. From a full Westy camper to a light-weight tin-top, to anywhere along the Baja peninsula, you can choose the compression damping that suits your vehicle and the terrain you’re traveling upon. The combination of damping options allows you to dial in your ride like never before. The level of stiffness you feel between one shock and the next is almost entirely a function of compression damping. Our Fox shocks are fully adjustable in that regard! In the softest position, they will feel about the same as our Fox 2.0 shocks. At the firmest setting, they feel about 30% stiffer. Whatever you like: soft like a marshmallow or on rails like a slot caryou don’t have to settle for one or the other. You can experience both and everything in between! No matter how you set the compression damping, what they’ll do better than any other shock is controlling the ride via much greater rebound dampingwhich is the resistance that a shock absorber provides after a bump is hit and the suspension compresses. No other option available for the Syncro comes close to matching what these GoWesty/Fox 2.5 shocks can do. They are simply unrivaled!
Comparison: 2.0 vs 2.5
The main differences between the Fox 2.0 and 2.5 are:
Greater adjustability range: These 2.5s are as soft as the 2.0s in the softest setting, and are about 30% stiffer in the stiffest setting. They also sport the latest Fox DSC damping adjustment technology that allows you to adjust both high and low speed compression damping.
Much less damping fade with increased temperature:These 2.5s have about 36% more surface area for cooling, and100% more oil volume compared to the 2.0 shocks. The result is a shock that can handle an order of magnitude more heat.
Much more capable:Wecollaborated with Fox for these shocks specifically for racing in the NORRA Mexican 500 & 1000. With the 2.0 shocks, we had to bring spares for the inevitable shock explosions (from what was admittedly gross abuse). With the 2.5s, no spares are required. They are simply indestructible! We could go as fast as we dared to gowithout worrying about the shocksand focus instead on the rocks and cacti!
