    Not a fan of spacers, but thats the 1st thing i thought of... a small 1/2" top plate should get u close to level and not effect much else.

    Big difference in a top plate spacer and the 3" spacers people use to lift their trucks. There is no other option if the OP wants to keep stock springs and struts

    3/8" spacer. IE 1/2 the difference in the front rear measurement.

    Or you could leave the engineered rake in place. It is there for a reason.

    The third gen Tacomas are one inch taller in front than the second gens, so the third gen Pros are pretty close to the same height up front as the second gen Pros. You should be damn near level.

    Too bad the Fox fronts weren't a coilover, and you could adjust it how you want.

    You mean that they weren't an adjustable coilover, right? Like with a threaded shock body?

    'Cause it is a coil-over-shock setup already.

    Maybe the front is lower cause once you load some gear in the bed, it sits more level rather than sagging.
