If you are already replacing the front with fox then might as well replace the rears...I did the fox 2.5 with piggy back res in the res the mag rideear. Another cheaper route would be to replace the rear with either oem mag ride/auto level shocks or get the auto level only shocks that have the built in sim which delet.
@duke90
I would like to know more about Fox with piggyback in the rear and auto level without the mag ride.
I have not installed the Fox coil overs in the front yet. My intention is to level the front by 1" or 1.5" and eliminate the mag ride while keeping the air level in the rear.

So my oem struts were completely shot out and the truck sat 34” to the wheel well. I installed the front Fox struts straight out of the box and it settled at 38” BUT remember that my old struts were sagging and probably 2” lower than when new. So 4” over the sagging struts but closer to 2” higher than new from factory. I installed the z71 coils in the rear and after settling my rear is also at 38”.

I did like the auto level rear shocks because if I loaded up at Costco the air shocks would engage and level the truck but the new coils have double the spring load rating compared to the oem ones so I don’t even notice the truck lower after a grocery store run. The 2.5 piggybacks tuck in nicely, but I did have to trim the liner very slightly
