Install notes and evidence

Clayton source wording says: FOX 2.5 Performance Series HTO shock is a bolt-on shock loaded with position-sensitive technology, vehicle-specific valving, and larger pistons to improve on and off-road performance. Verify position, lift-height range, joint/bushing style, axle side versus frame side, alignment effect, and whether this is a standalone replacement or part of a larger Clayton kit.

19-ON Jeep Gladiator JT, Rear, 2.5 Truck PS, IFP, 2-3” Lift, HTO

Vendor fitment: 2020-2026 JT Gladiator. Suspension & lifts with 1 inch lift-height data from the vendor source. Confirm final options and fitment on the vendor page before purchase.

FOX 2.5 Performance Series HTO shock is a bolt-on shock loaded with position-sensitive technology, vehicle-specific valving, and larger pistons to improve on and off-road performance. A type II anodized aluminum body efficiently dissipates heat and prevents corrosion. The 2.5-inch shock body features an internal floating piston (IFP) to separate the shock oil from the high-pressure nitrogen, optimizing damping. Hydraulic Top Out (HTO) technology offers usable position-sensitive rebound damping control on and off the pavement. HTO reduces harsh top-outs and increases comfort by forcing shock oil through a secondary shim stack to slow down shock shaft speed; HTO is particularly beneficial.

Question

What lift height is this for?

Suspension lift height

This is a 2.5-3 inch lift-height family. Verify the exact engine, drive side, spring-capacity variant, and loaded vehicle weight before quoting because those choices can change final stance.

Fitment and build notes

Vendor catalog record promoted for browsing. Final fitment, install dependencies, and shopper selection still require review before checkout.

For a lift, the last check is the complete Jeep setup: exact year/model/trim, doors, engine, lift variant, target tire size, wheel width and offset/backspacing, bump stops, flare/fender clearance, gearing, spare support, added bumper/cargo weight, and whether a shop is installing it.
