Common Questions
Does installation require drilling?
Yes, some drilling is required per the manufacturer's installation documentation — this is not a pure bolt-on like the rear shock pair.
What does the DSC adjuster let me do?
Independent control over low-speed and high-speed compression damping — soften for daily driving and towing, firm up for rough terrain, without removing the shock.
Does this fit a 2010 F-350?
No. This part is for the 2017+ redesigned Super Duty chassis. A pre-2017 truck needs a different Fox Performance Elite part number.
Should I order the front and rear together?
Many shops sell 883-26-095 and 883-26-096 together as a stock-height kit for the 2017+ Super Duty — confirm with us if you want the complete front-and-rear Performance Elite set.
The Obsidian Take
The 883-26-095 is for the 2017-2026 F-250/F-350 Super Duty 4WD owner who wants the ability to actively tune front shock damping — the DSC adjuster is a genuine functional upgrade over the fixed-valve HTO and standard 2.0 lines, not just a price-tier label.
Confirm your truck is 2017 or newer before ordering, and budget for some drilling during install — this is a more involved job than the bolt-on rear shock pair.
Non-Returnable Notice: Once installed, this unit is non-returnable. Confirm model year, drivetrain, and front lift height before ordering.
