Thanks Mogwai.



Short answer is sorta. But not because of AHC.

- As the LX (including the LC) are IFS in the front, lift has nothing to do with running bigger tires. The suspension will run through the same stroke under compression, lift or not. So a 35 has to fit at all points of the suspension stroke (i.e. AHC L or N), including full compression. Lift only sets the neutral point at which the suspension sits at rest.
- Mods to support 35s will be just like the LC. Common interference points are forward of the tire (trim the plastic liner). Rear of the tire (remove mud flap, trim liner, and possibly side step). Depending on how aggressive of a 35 and offset of tires, the rear body mount may be an issue and may need upper arms to help clearance. At least we don't have KDSS to worry about.

It's super easy to lift AHC 1.75" at the AHC sensors, and 35's will sit about right visually with that lift. Remember, AHC doesn't sag in lift with added accessories and load like the LC guys. They may lift say 2", but after putting a bunch of accessories, are likely barely over a 1" lift.

If I were to recommend something, a 34" tire is much much easier to fit with less rubbing overall.

could you run a 34” tire without a sensor lift and just moving/trimming the plastic and wheel
Spacers, plus maybe 10mm LC spacers just to make it easier on the AHC bags?
