Yes. @120k miles '06 LC. Complete brake failure 30 minutes after indicator lights and 5 minutes after audible warning, so sufficient advance notice it was coming.

JACA, do recall part nos. for the OEM hoses? Thx.

AHC = Active Height Control is a self-leveling system that automatically compensates for added weight with height adjustment. You can also manually set to high height (an extra 2" clearance, at lower speeds) or low height (ostensibly to ease ingress for grandparents :)). It also self-lowers at...

Yes, a wise purchase if u find one for a reasonable price. I bought an '06 in '09 with 45k miles and now has 130k. Other than routine maintenance, the brake actuator was the only needed repair (at 125k miles). It's otherwise been flawless, dependable and nice/fun to drive on road and off. My...

I have '06 stock with AHC and 33" tires fit fine (LTX A/T2 275/70/18). Not sure how wide you can go without rubbing but there are lots of tire size threads here to search for more feedback. I don't know if 33" will fit under as a spare; mine is 32" and fits easy. I love the Michelins and...

@NickPick04 Thanks. Inadvertent post to 55 series album and I don't know how to move it out. Sorry.

It's Pacific Blue Metallic, I don't think it was an option for too long.

I found this thread interesting re: pros/cons of OME suspension, albeit not comparing to AHC per se: 100 too stiff after OME medium lift

Sounds like you had the same AHC removal debate I'm currently having. Glad it worked well for you and thanks for the feedback. Just wondering, were the Slee UCAs a necessity when going with the 2" lift & diff drop? I've had conflicting advice on when they're needed and not.

Thanks jLB, that's helpful. I too have 06 LC with AHC and ride mostly in #3 setting with LT 33" tires. It's certainly a comfortable setup and great for daily driving. I actually really like the AHC for the way it compensates for variable loads and have had no problems with it for 130k miles...

I'm curious to hear feedback from anyone who has switched to an OME suspension lift after removing/disabling AHC. I've come across few related threads (w/ both positive & negative reviews) but would love a few more perspectives. - How's ride quality, on-road versus off? - Happy with the...
