Just switched to a GX from a 100, and while I like the smaller size and greater power, I'd like to go a bit bigger on tires and lift. Reading through here, there are a lot of great builds that have given me some perspective on what I want. I don't need to run what DanKunz has, but am aiming more for co4wheel's setup or similar. I would like to move to 2.5s in front if possible, however, and am hesitant to totally rip out the rear air springs (since I'm only at 65k and they work well). I also like that they can self-level and that the rate is effectively progressive, and in trying to blend these two ideas, I've come up with the following:
Front-
Bilstein 6112 with Eibach 112-620 front, preassembled from Wheelers
Diff drop from ToyTec
Rear:
Bilstein 5100
Stock air bags with the ride sensor dropped .25 inch from frame (spacer) to get a .75 lift (understand a 3 to 1 effect there)
For reference/general info, looking to run either 255/75/r17 BFG K02 or 265/70/r17 in same.
Anyone have thoughts- I realize that most will say go whole hog with coils in the back, but again, if the air springs work I'd like to retain some of their extra functionality, and they still work great for my truck given the lower mileage. That said, I'm not opposed to coils, and the price is really not any different if it's approached as a proportional increase over my concept here.
