    Ok I just bought a 2013 double cab 4x4 and it came with a RC 4” lift. So it has a 4” strut spacer. I wanted new Fox 2.0 shocks 0-2” lift. They arrived and was pre set at 2” so I got a 2” level as well. That’s where I messed up also lol it came in and it’s 1” tall. So to figure out what exact spacer I need to go with these shocks I need to know the measurement of the stock strut. From top to center of lower mounting bolt hole. I figured these shocks at 2” plus a two inch spacer would replace the 4” spacer but I was wrong. So. Ok I need to figure out what to use with these shocks to make it work. But I’m thinking if I can get the measurement of my strut then add the 4” spacer that’s my over all measurement I need to get to put this new fix strut in. Has anyone ever done this before ? And do any of you guys know the length? Thank you.
    I think I’m just going to set these to stock height , same as the stock ones in there now with spacers. And use these 4” spacers. I think it will just be easier and maybe more travel since I’ll be on 0 instead of 2” maxed out

    First off, I'm assuming a RC 4" lift means you have a drop bracket? What's your front cross member look like?

    Second, can't you adjust the height on your Fox 2.0 coilovers or are they not height adjustable? If you can adjust them, take that extra 1" lift out from the coilovers and you should be all set.

    They are adjustable but came pre set on 2” . They are 0-2” it looks like a lot more thread above and below to adjust . I didn’t want to go to far and they bottom out though. I’m thinking about just putting them in 0 and keeping the 4” spacer . What do you recommend?

    Please please please do not stack a spacer on top of your already preloaded coilovers. Get the correct length coilovers for your application.
