You're off to a good start. When I look at the last pic you posted, I keep imagining it with sliders painted the same color as the wheels. Anyways keep up the good work.

The front is 3inches. The rear is like 2. I will get some better photos soon. Yes I plan on painting the metal sliders I get in the future, the same color as the wheels

So for now did you just put spacers or washers on the ride height sensor mounts to raise the rear?

No the full iron man lift is on. No spacers. Springs and shocks all around

Are any of those pictures of it without the rear done? I thought you did the front and left the rear at first, then were going to install rear suspension once it all came in.

Your GX looks great! How much rubbing did you have with that wheel and tire setup?

 

[wingysataday]

I only had to wait a couple days for the rear lift.

The last few pics are with the full lift on.

I had slight rubbing on front of the front fender and just used a heat Gun to form the plastic. I trimmed the steps as you can see in the pics and I have deleted the rubbing. If the steps were off I wouldn't have to trim anything!
The ride is great! Nice and smooth. Very happy. The soft ride springs in the back was a very smart idea. When I had the stock rear air shocks "tricked" it was quite stiff.

Those wheels really compliment that lift/tire setup, lookin good!

This was our first time taking the GX on some decent off-roading ran into a bunch of snow and found this guy in his diesel totally high centered I was able to snatch them out with the tow strap. The atrac system worked flawlessly I was completely impressed by how well this thing performed in the snow and the ruts and climbing up some pretty heavy duty slick stuff we had a blast there's no way my Tacoma without that system would have done it as well as we did. The guy that I pulled out told me not even to try because he had a tractor coming to pull them out I proved him wrong real quick

So the nut on the light racing UCA came loose and now the driver side is all out of alignment. I'm I have an appointment today at Lexus to have them realign it I'm asked them to put some medium thread lock on them or something because I don't want that to happen again

Getting hardcore at the grocery store.

Lexus torqued my UCA's to 175lbs. Light racing people said that would be ok.
I got my console pocket replacement for the suspension controls. Hope to install this weekend.
