yes it absolutely could and I do have a fox wrench to adjust the preload collar. Really didn’t want to lose the front height though.
I may try it however.
it's also possible that your new rear springs are stiffer than stock if you installed https://toyteclifts.com/rcc2-0-p-to...ls-fj-03-4runner-03-gx?find=2025-4runner-1625
> "10% increase in load capacity/spring rate."

If I had to guess I'd say the firmer ride may have been due to
- stiffer rear springs
- maxed out preload on the front coilovers
- E load tires

rather than the shock valving itself, but it could still be very possible that the Fox 2.5 front coilovers have worse ride quality than the Fox 2.0

I have OME 3344`s on the way. Hopefully that will solve the creaking, and the stiffer rear.

Heres a new plan for the coilovers:
I have a 1/4" steel spacer that I could install that should give me 1/2" lift to make up for me lowering the preload 1/4" so I dont lose any height. This wont affect the preload, so theoretically the ride should absolutely get better..
Then another re-alignment.


In hindsight , I should have just gone with the OME lift kit, and I wouldnt be dealing with any on of this nonsense today. The OME kit would have cost less at this point.
