I bought a set of 255/80/17 (33x10) Falken Wildpeaks a few months back, which is a E load rated tire. I drove on them with the stock suspension for about a month and thought it rode just fine.
After adding a 3" Dobinsons IMS lift with stock weight springs, I'm really disappointed in the ride quality. It is extremely harsh. Lowering tire pressure to 32 PSI helped a bit, but I can feel every bump in the road and rocky trails are back breaking. I've never avoided man hole covers in any vehicle I've ever driven, included lifted trucks and 4 Runners, but I do it in the GX now out of habit.
I confirmed with my vendor that I received stock weight springs, but I almost think there had to be a mistake and I have +500lb springs or something. Will extra weight help?
TBH I wish I didnt throw the stock stuff away.
Just curious if anyone else has experienced this. I'm pretty bummed to have spent $2500 (including UCAs) and not be happy with the ride quality.
