AHC with LC suspension-how is the ride?

[codertimt]

Codertimt,

I have bought a Slee override, but am contemplating put it on my 07 LC with AHC… My tires have about 10k left on them (rig is at 76k), and I just don't know what angle to turn. Should I ride with the AHC in High all the time…? Or should I buy one tire size up form stock, and just ride in Neutral and Hi sometimes….

Would you happen to have any insight on what the max tire size that can fit with an AHC in Hi 24/7? And what would fit in Neutral 24/7?

I'd appreciate your opinion.

Thanks!

That would be a question where search should turn up many threads worth of practical experience on the subject. I personally can only vouch for 295/75/16s...basically tall 33s. They fit with in N with absolutely no issues on the road. No hard off road use yet, but I expect any rubbing to be quite minimal... So, basically if not running 35s, there isn't a need to run in High all the time(and there are many opinion is different threads about what is needed for 35s...). You can always tweak the sensors and get a little lift in N, just for looks...

Codertimt,

I did have the general idea of how AHC worked but you explained it much better. I will do a minimal investment in dialing in the AHC ride and if that doesn't look like it is going to work well, I will go to standard LC suspension. Thank you for taking the time to explain the finer points.

No problem. Glad to help.

Thanks codertint, your info has given me a starting place to look more. Wasn't quite sure before, thanks again : )

I have been reading a lot about the AHC and haven't seen an answer to this but I feel this falls in line with this thread. I have a 99 LX with steel bull bar w/winch, Roof Rack, Dual swing rear, full belly steel skid plates, sliders, and a recovery bag. That seems to be too much weight for the AHC. Based on what I have deduced from this thread (and a few others), a stronger rear spring and cranking the torsion bars are needed to compensate for the extra weight and bring the system back to the 40/60 split load share (AHC to Springs/Bars). I have a set of OME torsion bars and OME 2864 rear springs. With that much weight, would those work to handle the extra weight but still let the AHC function normally(-ish)?
