I think the Metra color matched bezel greatly improves the look of the replacement head units. I originally had a cheap ebay bezel that was black and didn't fit very well. I didn't really like the look, but the functionality was still very nice. I'm completely happy with the new Metra bezel...

I run these tires in 33x10.5. I have them on 17x8.5 wheels with a 0 offset. I like them and they've done everything I've asked of them. They're a bit louder than the wildpeaks I had on previously, but nothing that bugs me. They are a heavy tire in this size (62.33 lbs). The 285/70/17 is...

I'm pretty sure all tires are measured unmounted at full pressure. The specs I've seen on customwheeloffset appear to be physically measured in that they vary from brand to brand and model to model. I believe they're doing more than the math on the label...

It looks like they measure 32.05" unmounted and fully inflated. https://www.customwheeloffset.com/buy-wheel-offset2/BFG11450/bfgoodrich-all-terrain-ta-ko2-lt255-75r17-tires This site is amazing for getting exact specs on a huge number of tires. I've not run across this detail anywhere else.

I don't think shocks are intended to be a limiting factor on suspension. You would have more of an issue if the airbags were over compressing the shocks. I think you should be fine with stock airbags.

I haven't done it, but I believe people just use silicon to plug those holes.

Congrats on the new GX! You'll want to protect the underside from rust or it'll go south quickly.

I've seen the firestones used for this purpose.

Another option would be to add helper bags to the coils. You can use the auto leveling system to inflate the bags only when needed. This seems like a great way to utilize the leveling feature without fully relying on airbags for suspension.

Airbag man https://airbagman.com.au/products/oa6011 I've got them and I'm happy with the performance and ride so far.

It's easier to open the door and have it stay open. Outside of high angles and strong wind, the door will stay in the open position without locking it into place. There are certainly disadvantages to the mod, but many people find it helpful. If I were to do it over again, I might spring for...
