Hello all, I’m new here. Been driving my GX460 Premium for few years and need some upgrades now. Basically a 1.5 inch lift and front protection. I recently had a direct frontal hit by an abandoned porcelain kitchen sink on the road and saved by Talon Skid plate. So will need better clearance and protection. Thanks.

Regarding a 1.5" lift, I've been happy with my Dobinsons GS Lift Kit. I was looking for a plush ride on road, more control off-road, and didn't want to break the bank. I have a Luxury so I lifted the airbags 1.25" or so, instead of a coil conversion.
- Front springs: C59-300 (1.5" Lift, Stock front end load)
- Front struts: GS59-700
- Rear springs: N/A, but if I had rear coils, I would've gone with C59-505 (1.5" lift, Stock rear end load) so that when I'm loaded up, I'm not squatting.
- Rear shocks: GS59-745 (Comfort Valving)—I chose Comfort Valving as a better match for the airbags, but would consider Standard Valving for coils.

Thanks, do I need anything else? Like UCA or sway bar spacer to correct KDSS lean?

You shouldn’t need any of that with a 1.5” lift. If you have lean you can get some poly spacers for the coil overs. UCA’s are only useful after 2” and necessary after 3”. Go to a 4wd shop for alignment and they should be able to get it in caster spec with a 1.5” lift.
