    Hey everyone, I have some questions about the suspension that has been installed on my truck. It was installed and I noticed that the first time it was installed that there was a rake. The rear had an AAL of 1.5 inches and a Fox 2.0 with piggybacks. The front was a Fox 2.5 coil overs without reservoirs. I noticed that their was a rake the first time so I took it back in and it seems like nothing changed. I’m not saying they didn’t change anything but their is still a rake and I’m trying to run 33s. My wheels have a -10 offset and I’m running 31s but even then with 33z they won’t fit if I’m already almost hitting the fender. I feel like their isn’t much lift in the front.

    Can you post a picture of the front suspension so we can see the adjustment on the coilovers?

    Can you post a side shot of the whole truck now? So we can see the rake.

    Im guessing its because he took it back and said the front is too low/rear too high so they tried to raise the front.

    Whats weird is the truck appears to be sitting flat/level ground in a garage or something at normal ride height and there is only like 1" of shock shaft exposed, thats not right. Almost looks like the springs are too light or something.

    Something is definitely not correct. Spring is either too short or too light. I think they installed the incorrect parts up front. Can you find any part numbers on the shock or spring?

    What springs are you running up front?? I believe King coilovers are 4 turns equals 1" of lift (could be wrong) but I only have about 10 threads showing and that's about 2 1/2 of lift. Long story short, it looks like yours are threaded WAY down to composite for having the wrong coils.

    I bought them on wheel well so did a lot of people when they had a good deal going on. They shipped from Fox. The people who installed were 4WP

    Here are mine, they’re at about 2.5” and leveled with the rear with no rake.

    I have the 0-3” coilovers too. Something isn’t right, you may have the wrong spring.
