It’s great seeing all the lifted GX460 pics and people actually using the truck as it was intended.
I’m at the point now where I am looking at retiring my Daystar spacer lift and installing a suspension lift. My stock OEM shocks and ball joints are leaking so it’s time for an upgrade...
So far I’m planning on the Icon front coilovers, the icon rear 2.0 socks and the Icon 3” dual rate rear springs.
From what I’ve read the standard Icon coil over spring is a 650lbs spring, they do offer an upgraded 700lbs coil over spring but I’m running a stock bumper and no winch etc., so I don’t think that is necessary.
With all the lifted GX460s on this thread, I looking for comments on upgraded UCAs and LCAs.
The UCA upgrade seems fairly standard, has anyone had any issues with uniballs?
It doesn’t appear that many people have installed aftermarket LCAs, not sure if it’s really needed, but it would be nice.
Does anyone have experience with the Total Chaos or Dirt King KDSS LCAs?
At what point should I consider installing the following: differential drop kit, rear adjustable track bar (panhard bar) etc?
Thanks!
for uca's I'd go with JBA's https://jbaoffroad.com/ loved them on my past vehicle... all the performance needed with far less maintenance than other aftermarket UCA's...
no experience with any other LCA's or panhard bar although you'll likely find a lot of the 4R stuff will fit... I'd ask metaltech, they seem to be the GX460 lifting experts.
Sonoran Steel are great products too, not sure they cater to the GX market yet though...
I am considering going with a spacer lift for now until I can afford more. I would like a 2 inch lift but I want 2 inches front and rear. Every spacer kit I see seems to be a leveling kit. 2 in the front, 1 in the rear. I don't want to lose the natural rake. Is there a spacer lift out there that lifts it an even 2 inches front and rear?
As the title states, with all of the updated Pre-Collision system and so on, has anyone lifted a 2020 GX460 yet? I would assume that it would have to be recalibrated afterwards?
Would be no different than lifting a pre 2020 model equipped with the driver support package I don't think. I don't believe any re-calibration is needed for these models but could be wrong. I've never looked in to lifting ours.
Dont remember anyone on here having it installed, a few on ih8mud 150 forum do...
These kits are nice if the owner is in to more maintenance than stock to keep it operating reliably for many years.
Mine came in orange. Wasn’t a fan at first but it’s grown on me and isn’t as gaudy as it was at first. I think it pops with my black rig.
the Ironman Foam Cell Pros were a little more stiff than stock in sport mode but then again I have the performance springs and not comfort “stock” load. With stock front bumper and 285/70 tires
