    I found a good deal on a used 21’ PRO Fox suspension setup, but am curious if installing those shocks would pair well with what I already have installed. 2.5” spacers in the front and 2” add a leaf in rear. Would it just improve ride quality and payload potentially? Wondering if the 2” of PRO setup on the fox setup would put me at ~4” overall too? Call it dumb questions, don’t care. Thanks for whatever input

    2” lifts are perfect on these trucks. IMO I would pass on that suspension and look into other Fox set ups or other suspension set ups.
    Good luck and have fun

    Agreed. I don’t want more lift than what I have. Thanks for the input brother, you’re right, lots more options out there and the guy is kind of a douche anyways.

    Basically, 4" lifts dont exist because the control arms make contact with the spring and there's zero down travel. Basically a brick with wheels.

    If you get a TRD Fox set up you can increase their lift using small top hat spacers for 1 more inch.

    Some run the westcott kit on the fox lift, which runs a preload and a top hat to gain more lift.

    Running a large top hat 2.5" lift on the fox is inadvisable and will drive like a turd.

    you can get the westcott kit or eibach springs for the fox fronts and keep your lift in the rear. that would upgrade you to the fox and keep your lift where it is. the fox setup lifts the front about an inch on its own, the Westcott kit or eibach should put it at 2-2.5" total. the rear fox shocks do not give any lift so whatever you have now will stay the same.
