Icon 2" lift with KMC XD wheels and 285/70/17 Geolander A/Ts. I may also be taking off the factory running boards soon as I'm tired of their cheap plastic look.

I also liked the look of itrack's bronze wheels on a gold GX, but went with gray.

The Icon lift gives a very relaxed and comfortable ride, and is fantastic offroad. I picked the Geolanders for a good compromise between onroad quiet and offroad performance. They are indeed very quiet onroad and should be good in snow as well.

I'm brand new here! I've been watching from afar for quite some time now but finally pulled the trigger on a clean 05 GX over Labor Day weekend. Can't wait to hit some trails!

You and I are almost twins! I'm on Bilstein 5100s up front with a 1" spacer and failing airbags in the rear. Ordering rear conversion with OME 2895 springs for the rear this afternoon.

With the 1" spacer, did you have to trim the stock studs? I test fitted BOREA 3/4" spacers this weekend to hopefully clear my 275/70/17 on 5th Gen Trail wheels and I would've had to cut them...

OEM wheels have pocket behind it. It clear with no issue.

I have 1 1/2" wheels spacers, so no issue there. The 1" spacer is a strut spacer on the top.

How do you like those tires? They look like they would be louder than BFG but quieter than STT.. ? I'm about to buy 4 for my Lexus
thanks for any word..
