    So I have a set of Fox 2.0 rear shocks. Was wondering if I could fit Deaver leafs in the rear. Not sure if the shocks are long enough. Want to adjust my front coils and add new mad pack to the rear too level my truck out. 2009taco. Tried finding specs.online but couldn't. I'm also overseas so calling someone to find out is difficult =D

    The fox 2.0 rear shocks. Not sure which leaf pack I want quite yet. Trying to do research before I get home. Someone mentioned my rear shocks might not be long enough for after market leaf packs

    Measure your shocks and the Fox shocks to see if the Foxes are longer. I have standard 5100 Billies on the back of mine with a J66 pack from Deaver. I'm sure that I am leaving a little droop on the table but I don't get to do much off roading anymore so I'm not slamming the shocks.

    I talked to Deaver and Fox about this last week. If you're going to run their 8 leaf pack (1.5" lift) then you'll be fine. That conversation was based on what I do offroad (nothing extreme). You can cycle the suspension when you get everything installed and see what your limits are as well. Then run appropriate bump stops so you don't exceed the length of the shock arm. Deaver said "we designed our 8 leaf pack to compliment the Fox 2.0 shock".

    Oh nice! Thanks man. Looks like we have the same suspension set up. Do you know what the thread to lift ratio is on the front shocks? Wanted to lift the front a bit then add the deavers to compensate

    I'm not sure about that but from the factory Fox sets them up just under 2" of lift. Rides really nice on and off road. I'm not going to crank mine any higher. Going to add the Deaver 8 pack which is max 1.5". With my shell it will be so near level you won't be able to tell without a tape measure.

    Ah ok gotcha. Mine only had about an inch of thread above the collar. Seems like that would be less than 2 inches of lift but I'm not sure. I hope I can fit 33's with no issues =X

    Did you measure before and after install? Just to note, there's a ton of thread still left on mine to crank them higher. Fox doesn't recommend going higher than 2" because they're going to get real stiff and not function as they should. Let me know if you need my height measurements.

    Unfortunately I totally forgot to measure the height before instal. I'm overseas now so I can't measure at the moment but I remember having about an inch of thread above the collar. Want new leafs so I'm hoping I can adjust the front to make an even ride. Idk what else to upgrade after that haha
