    3in lift, Tow package, Any time 400w inverter, in cab outlet, vinyl floor, roof rack
    2007 Sport DCLB with Off-road shocks, stock springs and recall leafs with 1.5 spacer for front and rear.

    I would like some advice on changing shocks or shocks and coils, as my front right shock is done for.

    My goal is to have a 2in lift in the front.

    Should I just replace the front shocks and keep the current setup? Or should I change the coil overs?

    I have my eye on a 2013 TRD Pro Fox shock and coils, would this give me the appropriate lift at 2in or should I also add the spacer?

    Off-roading with spacers is a no-no
    If not using Off-road and you really liked the way it rode before then just remove and replace.
    Idk how much lift the fox's give ya but I would think it would be about 1.5 to 2 in lift up front.

    I don’t mind how it handles. Looking for an improvement for sure.
    The break dive is horrendous, it’s like driving a fully loaded 3ton.
