Crap I mean 265/70! Keep typing the wrong size!

Thank you, thats what I have decided too, just go with 275/70/17 and call it a day!

Also reading some guys are saying need to change gearing with 285/70/17's or it will feel sluggish and may not go into overdrive on hiway? Dont want to deal with any of that, please let me know guys that are running this set up and if needed to change gearing or feels sluggish etc now. My son...

Hi, my 03 GX has the 5100 Bilsteins on top notch and wondering if you guys think ok to go with the 285/70/17 tires and hoping no rub and no trimming needed?

Sorry meant 285/70/17

Ok thank you!

Did you do a diff drop when you added the 5100's? I read some people did those and others dont like them? I was thinking maybe that would help the truck feel for better words (lower center of gravity possibly)?

OK, maybe so, I will take it off and see what they look like, any issue if I take off the nut with shock popping up (if that makes sense)?

On the strut mounts, does it matter what brand to go with the Bilsteins? I dont hear any noise while driving from the mounts, I dont think.

I noticed in your comments you upgraded to FJ steering box, does that make a difference in the feel? I wish I knew I could of done that, the guy rebuilt mine, and he messed that up too, so I had to have a shop take it out and put in another rebuilt, but I still dont think that feels right either.

Thank you so much!!! For sure it idled fine and to someone who did not know that vehicle and just got in and drove it, they would have said its fine. Me knowing and owning for so many years, I knew it was not right. Gas mileage bad, every 4-5th time starting took few extra seconds, power did...

Sorry guys! Yes its a 2003 Lexus GX470. I tried holding that squared off bolt at top and turning the nut but once I held the squared off bolt, I could no longer turn the nut. Without holding the squared off bolt, the nut just spins super easy but the whole shock spins with it

Hi, I had a guy install new Bilstein 5100's and I feel almost a float feeling in front end, slight, but there and the rack is new, and all other front end components (suspension new as well). I also hear a bang when I back up and turn left coming from the left front of truck. The only thing we...

Hi Guys, well I took off my timing covers are sure enough the "guy" who changed my timing belt had it off by a tooth. My brother and son and I tore everything down, and redid the whole job the last 2 days, and properly aligned the new belt and torqued all bolts to factory specs, and finally...
