Default 2011 GX460 Mild Build

Bought the GX back in September. There's another thread somewhere around here on that. The mods I plan on installing are as follows:

Dobinsons GX460 2-2.5" suspension
Dobinsons UCA's
ALPHAEquipt Delta 17x8.5" wheels
RSG Metalworks top plate sliders with kick-out
BFG KO2's in 265/70R-17

The wheels and the suspension kit came in. Should have everything but the UCA's this week. Here are the wheels:

I don't know. I haven't taken it out of the packaging. I'll check it to see if that's listed.

Build was completed yesterday! I had a shop (RPM Garage in Monrovia, CA) do the install. They did an excellent job! Especially on the alignment. It's spot on. Some changes to the parts list were:
SPC UCA's
Falken Wildpeak AT3W's in 275/70R-17 (this combo does NOT fit in the OEM spare tire carrier)

Thank you! This car has lived its whole life in Southern California. One of the few benefits of living here.

how are you guys getting around replacing the OEM, adjustable shocks and not getting any sort of error message on the dash?

I'm not sure on that. I understand you have to leave something in place but I don't know what part that would be. I do remember reading about that either on this forum or IH8MUD.
