    I just installed fox 2.0 rear shocks with 2 inch lifting blocks along with fox 2.0 front coilovers. after initially seeming to be level, i can tell the front end is still sat down a little. I am looking for some advice as to what i should do to level the front. I haven't yet tried to compress the spring and screw the plate up higher because i dont know if that will make the shock stand taller. Any advice before i begin working on it again would be very appreciated

    The 2.0 is aluminum body and you need to compress the coils to adjust the preload. But yes, cranking up the preload will lift up the front end.

    Measure hub to fender Front and rear, and 12 threads equals one inch, so 6 threads is a half inch. Figure out the difference between front and rear and adjust the preload using the formula.

    No problem Mike. Use a spring compressor or a shop to do the work, you don’t want to jack up those threads

    Trucks aren’t built to be level they have rake so when you load it up it’s level. Maybe you don’t ever put anything in the bed and some like the bro lean that will happen when you have cargo but if your ok with it then preload it higher but you will have a rougher ride.
