Truck lean after level

I got an issue. I installed a Fox 2.0 2.25 Coil over leveling kit with rear shocks about 3 weeks ago. Everything looked good, got it aligned and so on. Now, lately I noticed the rear passenger side of the truck lucks like it’s leaning to one side. And as a matter of fact, the front does too. Is this part of it adjusting and settling? Or can a rear shock failure do this? Only thing I changed was the rear shocks on the backside.

Did you make sure the fronts were both adjusted to the same height before installation? Once on the truck, the Fox 2.0s can not be adjusted, they need to be removed for adjustment.

I did not adjust them. I was under the impression that they came ready as is to install evenly. And can be adjusted lower after that.

They can’t be adjusted on the truck like some other coil overs out there.

I worried it would not fix the issue. Has anyone had any issue with the Fox 2.0?

It’s amazing people buy Fox. So many issues with them.

Anyway, did the shop replace any blocks in the back? Are the rear shocks oriented properly? The skinny side should be down on each side.
