Default Front Shock Options

So I will be ordering the Fox 2.0's for the rear, I already have a 2.25" Ready Lift Spacer, do any of you know what options are there for front shocks without going the adjustable coil over route? I realize I could set them at zero and still use them but I was hoping do a less expensive option. I tried looking around but all I see recommended are the adjustable and I'm not going back with OEM, my front tires are already getting chopped up on tread with less then 25k.

Thanks in advance.

Assuming you had the front end aligned after the level was installed? Tires balanced? Rotated?

The Fox 2.0's would still be your best option (IMO) for your situation. Have them set at 2" up and you're good to go. I'm sure there are also other shocks that have this same option available to you that are less expensive.

Yes alignment was done and I feel no pulling or shaking at high speeds, Tires rotated every 6k and the toyos drive smooth. I'm guessing
my shocks are done or something else is up, you can see the chop marks on the tread clear as day last 5k or so miles.

If your paying somebody to install new struts its gonna cost the same as installing the fox 2.0 coilovers new because the whole assembly has to come out to change. Sell readylift and get the fox 2.0s. The coilovers are hard to adjust so I wouldn't go that option

install the readylift for the level, and put in the fox 2.0 coilovers, but adjust them all the way down (so truck would have factory rake without the readylift). then you get the caddy ride, most travel out of your shocks as well as the leveled stance. woops sorry replied to wrong amigo, was for Op
