    Build 08 GX Slow Build

    Will do. It has 89k miles so I figured I would do the timing belt and water pump now. Those parts will be installed next week.

    Can't have nice things...

    It was a freak show on nye. Glad your wife was ok. Besides the obvious I agree with the rear door being looked over.

    Metal Tech 4X4

    Metaltech is my go to place for GX parts. Everytime I have had an issue, including fittment of their front bumper, I just pick up the phone and talk to them and getting things resolved pretty dang quickly. The hand written letters have been a surprise. I always try to have realistic...

    Just ordered my lift... Second thoughts?

    If the valving is done well on a 2.0 it should work just fine for everything but high speed offroad stuff. Guys run them in 3/4 and 1 ton trucks without issues. It's all in the valving. Maybe we could use someone that would valve these shocks for GX specifically to account for the added weight...

    Installed my Lift this weekend and not all that happy :(

    The icon 2" springs will fit in pretty easily and won't need a spring compressor.

    Installed my Lift this weekend and not all that happy :(

    2.0" vs 2.5" is the physical shock diameter size.

    Installed my Lift this weekend and not all that happy :(

    I run icon standard travel resivoir coilovers up front with icon 2" rear springs and icon 2.5" piggyback shocks in the rear, that I rebuilt myself. I couldn't be happier with the ride. This was my first time to run 2.5" shocks all the way around and I will never build another suspension without...

    Build 08 GX Slow Build

    I wish I was up for a vehicle upgrade but I love my f250.i have thought about a lx but I don't think it would really solve anything. It's really only depressing because this is a really good community.

    Build 08 GX Slow Build

    Well I feel like the GX is just about perfect now. The issue now is that we are expecting a third kiddo and the wife isn't sure that she is going to be able to get three in and out of the rig without a lot of effort. We may have to find something full sized instead.

    Need help - KDSS shutter valve question

    I didn't even know this was a thing. Would have made putting the suspension on a whole lot easier.

    Build Bluetribal's Baja Build

    Picking up a used set of Icon coilovers was the best decision I made for my GX.

    Stick with Stock or go lift?

    I slowly pieced together my lift. I looked all over ebay, forums, and craigslist to find used parts for a fraction of the cost. Metaltech usually has some really good holiday sales. We are fortunate enough to have a platform that shares parts across so many vehicles. And nothing like buying...

    Using the stock self leveling system with aftermarket air bags and long travel springs?

    It's pretty close to plug and play. Just play with the level sensor a little bit. This has been done before, though I forget who did this previously. I want to say it was originally done by someone at SSO but I can't recall.
