The factory suspension is cooked on my gx470 and it’s time for a refresh. It won’t see much more than fire roads, very mild off road, but I will be towing with it a decent bit. The heaviest thing will be a 66 impala. My thought the remote reservoirs should handle longer towing trips better than a single body (more fluid more heat dispersion right?). I’m more than happy to save a couple bucks and go with a lower stage, I’m really just trying to bulletproof things. I’d rather buy something beefier and be comfortably within its limits than buy something lesser and flirting with the limits more often (hope that makes sense).
Im not looking for crazy lift, ideally sitting level around the max rear ride height (give or take). My concern is that it’s listed at 2.2 inches in the rear. I don’t want to get into upgrading the panhard bar, UCAs, and eating CVs. I’d like to stay within the bounds of the factory ancillary pieces.
I would also like to run a 275/70r17 on a 0 offset wheel. I can live with minor rubbing but no BMC, no major cutting/ modification.
I’m really not trying to turn this into a bigger project than it needs to be. I would just like some feedback from the community who have this or a similar set up.
