Yesterday I installed the Thuren +2” Hemi soft front coils, Thuren front track bar, Thuren frame track bar bracket, Thuren/Fox steering damper and Thuren/Fox 2.0 front shocks. Net front lift was 1-7/8” on my short bed crew cab 4WD.

Absolutely impressive ride/handling improvement over the OEM setup. I ordered the Thuren +1” soft rear coil/link kit and will include the Thuren/Fox 2.0 rear shocks in the installation.

The enjoyment of driving my new truck has increased with each Thuren component I’ve installed. Expensive but I see it as an investment in the next 15+ years I expect to own the truck. I hope this info helps someone.
 
I have the Thuren/Fox 3" front/1" rear level with front and rear track bars and Fox steering damper. I went with the softer spring option in back and have Airlift 5000 bags to keep it level when towing my 35', 8K pound travel trailer. And yes, it does ride better than stock.
 
I installed the Thuren +1” soft rear coil/link kit and the Thuren/Fox 2.0 rear shocks. It wasn’t as compliant as I had expected or hoped for and was especially harsh over road surface damage or square edges bumps. I replaced the Fox shocks with Rancho RS9000’s a couple of days ago and so far am happy with the ride improvement. Next, I’m going to try the RS9000’s on the front.
 
The Rear Track Bar along with your rear components will help with your issue. Did you check the Travel Lengths against the Fox Shock. Thuren has the Valving and Travel Designed for their Coils.

I've had fox 2.0s i would never buy them again. They are basic level shocks with fox name on them.
 
I did install the Thuren rear track bar and took into consideration the Thuren Fox extended/compressed length.

Yesterday I drove my truck on a frequently driven road that’s in poor condition, with and without pulling my dump trailer, and experienced a noticeable improvement in bump compliance and less porpoising when towing. I’m convinced that the improvement I felt was due to the Rancho’s less aggressive high speed compression dampening. I have them at setting 2 of 9.
