So my front is measuring 22.5 and back is around 22. I’m guessing back should be 23 to 24 if front is 22.5?

Thx. Fender frame is straight up from middle of the wheel to frame?

I measured front tire frame to ground is 38.5” and back frame is 37.25”. I’m guessing that’s a minor sag? Not sure what the heights should be?

He also said the LX470, which he loves, does not have a ton of power to handle really heavy weight and any mods should be on the lighter side. Which I can confirm since I lifted with 33 tires and arb carrier does take a little extra time to get going on the road. He thought mine were light...

Just took it over to a friend that I did not realize does lifts and modifications. He took one look and said he could tell it had a little sag and to go ahead and get the 440lb load springs. He said the weight in the back would balance out any extra stiffness from the new springs.

I used the dobinson C59-167, load of 220lbs. I called arb and they said the tire carrier bumper weighs 250lbs by itself. With the tire and wheel add another 50+ pounds. Probably looking at 300+ constant load.

Also they never took out the spare tire under the car. Figuring that might help to remove as well?

Took out AHC fitted with dobinson lift.

I appreciate any feedback as I recently had an ARB rear tire Carrier added to my newly lifted 2003 LX 470. Since I picked it up, I could feel a lot more heaviness on the backside almost like I was being pulled backwards as I drove. Strange feeling. I believe the guy ordered the dobinson lift...
