    I’m looking for confirmation that putting on a 1.5” front leveling kit like RevTek will not have any adverse effects on the stock Fox shocks or suspension on my 2018 TRD Pro. Not interested in more lift, giant tires or reading through thousands of prior posts. Thanks.

    Throwing a spacer on the front kills the ride.

    Also the Pro comes basically level. Any manipulating the front will give a bro lean, maybe you're after that, I'm not sure. Have you given the truck time to settle in the rear yet?

    My Pro sits about an inch lower in the front and is noticeable to my eye. I put a leveling kit on my F150 and worked great, but it’s a basic King Ranch suspension. Only have 1,000mi so probably no settling yet, maybe I’ll just put a few more ECT miles on and see.

    I'd throw something heavy in the bed if you want to speed it up. On my 18 OR, there was lots of settling. If you didn't notice the spacer affecting the suspension on your f150, maybe you won't notice in your pro. But there is no way I'd throw a spacer on any of my trucks.

    it will even it out if you're not doing the AAL in the rear full kit they have. and there is NO negative effects on the stock pro suspension.

    my 2017 pro sits about 3/4 to 1 inch. lower in the front also, i think a 1/2 front spacer will give it 1 inch of lift, toytec spacer ,, i would like to do this also ,but havnt got around to doing it

    @Headstrong has a few 1/2" spacer kits in stock with scratches that they'll sell you if you contact Marie on here.

    I've got the stock Pro Fox shocks and it's the route I'm going.

    Another possibility is to leave the factory engineered rake in place.

    While level is eye candy, it adds nothing to function, and when hauling/towing a load puts you at a disadvantage.

    BTW, a 'leveling kit' is a lift. Just a small one by another name.

    Or put a 3L progressive AAL on the back and bring it right back!

    The stock TRD Pro rears are longer than the base shocks on the other models.

    You can do itttttt!

    Where did you find this information. I was thinking about a space in front and an aal out back to keep the rack but add a higher stance and bigger tires? Thanks for this information
