    Hi all,
    I buried this question in my last post so will just ask it here: if I put the Fox 2.5 Elite rear shocks on my 2022 ORP there is nothing on the shock itself that will lift the truck, correct? They are listed as "0-1.5" lift" but that doesn't mean you can lift with just the shocks, right? I know the fronts you can set to different heights bc they are coilovers. But to lift the rear that 1.5 inches I would need to add a rear spring or spacer. Or am I wrong? Is there some way to get a little rear lift just by bolting on the Fox 2.5's?
    Thanks, and again, sorry for the dumb q

    Coils/spacers do the lifting. If fox says 0 to 1.5 in, that means don’t lift more than 1.5 so that the shocks rest in the sweet spot of the damping zone.

    Correct. Your rear shocks will not lift your vehicle. You will need coils or spacers.
