I want to keep stock height(lower the better). Do you recommend the 4600 over the 5100s. I am going to discuss with toytec first but I value your opinion. Need greater dampening.

4600's for stock ride height. Both the 4600's and 5100's are valved the same ... with the 5100's capable of a 2.5" maximum lift.

ToyTec will not steer you wrong ... they are experts on this platform.

What size tires did you go with and any rubbing issues?

The GX's I've gotten as loaners have all been pretty compliant on the road and I didn't find the ride harsh, I mean yeah, it's not like my LS460 but nothing is., It's certainly exponentially better than stuff like the NX... ewww. (that has to be the worst riding vehicle Lexus manufactures, by orders of magnitude.... my GS with 19"s doens't even ride THAT hard... I thought my teeth were going to fall out.... )
