    Not sure if this has been done before but I would like to level/get just a tad of lift on my 2024 pro without changing the preload/spring rate. Correct me if I’m wrong but it seems a small shim lift would achieve this without changing the quality of the fox shocks’ ride. I see coach builder makes .5 and inch shims and I’m sure the ones out of the wescott kit would work as well. Any input is appreciated thanks guys!

    I just ordered steel shims from cornfed "1/2" thick zinc plated steel shims to provide 1" of front lift" per the description from the site. Have not installed them yet. Could be something to consider for yourself since you're not looking to get a big increase in the lift.

    I put the 1.75" Rough Country leveling kit on mine and it was pretty easy. Only tough spot was compressing the spring and turning the top plate a bit. The truck measures level, but I always have the slight impression that the front looks a tiny bit too high. I can live with it, and am probably the only one to notice it. It really depends on the angle up/down my truck is sitting. Hindsight, I would have targeted a 1" lift.

    Cornfed makes good shit. I’d do it, for the leveled look.

    My 2023 is around 3/4” higher in the rear with a bed cover, mat and misc stuff in the bed.

    One bag of dogfood in the back of a fully leveled truck and you’re squatting. Need a little rake to carry some load without dragging ass. 3/4” is pretty close to level and gives a little load carrying prior to showing squat.
