Default Fox question - BDS

I just got fox 2.0 coilovers on front installed on my 2016 lariat. They put bds fox 2.0's on rear shock. I notice online they say that shock is for a 6 inch lift. Is this the right application since my truck is standard on back and just 2 inches up front as stock coilovers provide on front?


Btw - Loving the shocks - but they are noisey.

BDS sells factory length rear Fox 2.0 shocks for their front leveling kits:

Pull the part number or send me a picture of the bottom of the shock at ride height. If it is the one for the rear of a 6" lift, it will have very little compression travel.

That is 28" extended, just the same as the part number on the Fox site for 0"-1" lift, so you're good.

I ordered those shocks for my dad's truck with a 3 inch block. I'll report when I installed them and compare it to my 2.5 icons.
