I recently bought an 08 GX470. My only other experience with a trail vehicle is an old Disco i had, so i'm starting with the basics here.
I don't want to get carried away just yet, but i do want to lift it a little for some slighter bigger/wider tires. I know there are several ways, and a thousand thread posts on the topic, but i can't figure out what the best route is to start with.
I'm only looking to lift it maybe 1.5-2" max for now. Is this possible with some coil spacers in the front and adjusting the airbags in the back?
Next, what kind of offset or wheel spacing would i need to have the tires stick out a little further than stock?
Eventually, i'd like to replace the airbags with springs, go taller...install a new bumper, more lights, etc...but that's a few years down the road.
Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
thanks,
