'06 lift question.....

[WarWagon]

Just purchased an '06 GX470 after many years purchasing and driving Land Cruisers. My air lift system works fine so I'm just wanting to replace the front coils and shocks for a small lift and then replace the rear once it stops working.

This works right?

Before doing the suspension, i strongly encourage you to identify your long term plan with the rig. The suspension should be done last after adding any heavy objects (bumpers, winches, RTT, etc.)

Gah that's my favorite color GX!

Yeah your plan will work

Yeah that’s what I have. Lift in the front. Air bag/springs trick in the rear.

Tire size has been the biggest conundrum right now. With this build I'm thinking about going with a lower and smaller build built around camping/trail riding instead of BEAST mode like I've done with my Land Cruiser. To me it just fits this particular vehicle more.

So I'm probably going to throw some 265/70/17 Falken MT's on today and go with a mild 1-1.5 lift in the front in the very near future.

Decide on which lift for the front?
