Rear Shocks That Redefine Control
Fox 2.5 Performance Elite Rear Shock for 2015+ 2500 4WD/AWD Sprinter
Fox’s 2.5 Performance Elite Series Rear shocks transform the ride and control of your 2015+ Sprinter 2500, with DSC EVO compression tuning and high-volume piggyback reservoirs.

Fox’s 2.5 Performance Elite Series Rear shocks are engineered to dramatically improve handling, ride comfort, and shock performance under heavy loads or rugged use.
These CNC-machined, hard-anodized aluminum bodies house a large oil volume, resist corrosion, and reduce fading during prolonged use. A piggyback reservoir increases cooling capacity and integrates the Dual Speed Compression EVO adjuster for easy tuning of both high-speed and low-speed damping.
With Variable Valve Control (VVC), you can adjust high-speed compression without compromising small bump compliance, ideal for big hits, washboards, and off-camber terrain. Compatible with 0–1.5” of lift, these rear shocks give your Sprinter the damping performance it deserves on-road and off.
Smooth ride even when fully loaded
Fade-resistant damping for rough terrain
On-the-fly compression adjustment
Fitment compatible with mild lift setups
Enhances both highway and trail handling
Serious Rear Control, Zero Compromise
- DSC EVO reservoir with VVC damping
The piggyback reservoir on FOX’s Performance Elite rear shocks features a Dual Speed Compression (DSC) EVO adjuster with Variable Valve Control (VVC), allowing independent tuning of high- and low-speed compression. This gives you precise control over-ride quality, handling, and stability, whether you’re hauling heavy loads, hitting rugged terrain, or cruising the highway.
Precision Fit for Your Sprinter
- Vehicle-specific valving and geometry
Engineered exclusively for Sprinter 2500 model, these shocks deliver balanced ride quality, reduced body roll, and confidence-inspiring control. The custom valving and geometry ensure damping performance that feels tailored to your van’s weight, use case, and driving environment.
Control Big Hits Without Sacrificing Feel
- Variable Valve Control (VVC) on high-speed circuit
The VVC-equipped DSC EVO adjuster lets you increase high-speed compression to absorb large impacts without making the entire system harsh. Unlike traditional systems, VVC adds damping without affecting small-bump compliance, giving you comfort over chatter and control when the terrain gets serious.
Built to Take a Beating
- 2.5" anodized 6061-T6 aluminum body
Crafted from impact-extruded 6061-T6 aluminum, these 2.5″ shock bodies offer the perfect balance of strength and reduced weight. A TYPE III hard anodized finish protects against corrosion and abrasion, delivering long-lasting durability in harsh weather, rocky trails, and demanding overland conditions.
