200 Series Portal Axles (13 Viewers)

[linuxgod]

I’m unlikely to drop the $ for portals but if I did I’d try to keep the KDSS

 

[Heckraiser]

I would think it would be a priority for most people, seeing as everybody loves kdss and (to a lesser extent) AHC. But I can't even imagine the numbers--seems as much as we drool over portals, only very few would actually put up the money to install them.

 

[CanadianRockyCruiser]

I might get portals in a few years (making my LX an offroad-dominant vehicle). If I did, I'd prefer to keep the AHC, unless it's not practical.

 

[hoser]

I would like some kind of sway bar whether KDSS or standard LX but IIRC, retrofitting the LX sway-bars to an LC200 doesn't seem like simple bolt-on affair.

Hey guys,I worked here at 74Weld, and this is true.


This is actually want I came here to ask you guys, just out of curiosity. How many of you would maintain KDSS and stock suspension, and for LX owners the AHC. Really just out of curiosity here, I'm excited to see people maintain those systems while running 37-40s because I think thats rad, but I'm curious if thats a priority for people.

Maintaining LX AHC is a goal for me as long as I can.

Thats cool to hear from everyone. Most of the Toyota platforms we sell portals to delete KDSS and height control, but I figured it would be different on the 200 series chassis. I nerded out see Ben from Dissent use the AHC on 37's on his LX700H, I want to see more of that

I wouldn’t run stock LC suspension, but I would definitely run AHC.

What do you mean? You have the Werewolf portals right? Are you still utilizing the AHC on your Lexus?

Been rocking 37s and AHC for 3 years now without issue. Only thing that would make me switch it would be SASing the front

Do it!

I wonder if it would be possible to do a SAS and keep AHC. By using rear AHC components on the front.

I’ve thought about that but worried that there wasn’t sufficient travel out of them to make it work

 

[Adrenaline6]

Hmmm....just spitballing with not too much critical thinking involved because I ate a big lunch and am too tired and lazy right now to do so, but I wonder if an SAS hybrid system that left the suspension travel conventional which would allow for easy long travel swaps, but keep the height adjustment only part of AHC.

 

[XFACTR]

Yes I am. And yes I would still run it, and I think it would be good, but I decided it was time for an offroad specific suspension. I think AHC is the most versatile suspension on the market, and it literally does everything well, but I’m at the point where I want my suspension to do excellent off-road - not just good enough. I’m going to be doing some difficult trails. I also want more articulation and travel.

Having to delete AHC would be a deal breaker for me. I would like to keep AHC at all costs.

I’m pretty close to Stellarbuilt and am willing to offer up my 21’ LX for R&D if needed.
