Agree, tires look fine from that angle. Upgrading is truly a rabbit hole.

Thanks! Although after living with it for a few months I still think they look a little small, but it is mainly because the wheel well is so big lol. But I LOVE this rig. Get a smile on my face every time I get in it.
@HVLA you might want to measure your hub to fender distances. Most likely your suspension will settle some after time.
And you might want to have a frame of reference in terms of your lift compared to stock and other members.
Someone here on ih8mud (I cant remember who unfortunately) did some research and determined that new from the factory, the gx470 should have these measurements:
FD - 20.5"
FP - 20.5"
RD - 21.75"
RP - 21.75”
A friend of mine just bought a used 2006 GX470 stock and he measured 19.5” hub to fender all around. I wasn’t expecting the rear to sag since the air bags are supposed to adjust the rear height, so go figure why he’s over 2 inches lower in the rear now.
He’s ordered an icon level 2 suspension, so he will be converted to springs soon and he won’t be low riding anymore.
Anyways, I’m at these heights hub to fender:
FD = 22.50”
FP = 22.75”
RD = 22.375”
RP = 22.625”
I’m sagging 1/4” on the drivers side and I have the rear height sensor tricked. I’m about 2” lifted in front. And I’m pretty level front to back although my measurements show that I’m 1/8” lower in the rear.
Again, not really sure it matters measuring the hub to fenders, but I know I have the Lexus drivers lean and a slight sag in the rear.
