Hello, new guy to the forum here. I don't have a 100 yet but plan to soon. Anyone know anything about this truck below? Or have a good idea on lift height as well as tire/wheel size? Love the stance. Have never done forums before so I know I've got some newbie reading to do, and hope I'm not breaking rules by uploading someone else's pic. I saw this one on Pinterest and couldn't find any specs to go along with the pics, so figured this is the place to ask! Awesome site, look forward to it.

I don't know much about it either but it's been an inspiration for mine too. Here's the front view. I'm guessing the wheels are 16s or 17s with an offset somewhere around +10 (stock is +60.) Tires look like 315/75r16 (35s) but could be 33s (285/75r16) as well. With a yellow shock in there I'd guess OME lift, probably 2-2.5".
This is mine with 285/75r16 on 16x8 +10 wheels and an OME heavy lift (2.5-3")
Thats a beautiful and inspirational LX, but I wonder why they went for all the nice hardware and then left the factory side-steps on. A pair of sliders makes a big difference off-road.
Prob because it's all for show at the mall. Also doesn't have a full size spare, when he has a bumper that accommodates a swingout. My guess is those tires also rub badly when flexed at lock.
Yeah was just gonna say that. Couldn't really be wheeling, I wouldn't be surprised if they hit the fenders before they hit the bumpstops.. would need a body lift and bumpstop modifications at least with that offset and size. No real skidplate either
yah that is a sweet looking truck, but it's gotta rub offroad a bit!?!? I'm rolling the stock suspension and 33x12.50's with some 18x8.5 with 35mm offset.

Looks great, Kreiten. Is that mid-height? The one I'll be deciding on this weekend has the AHC stuck low, so would be having that replaced with likely Ironman 2.0. Seems, like OME is by far most popular, but have read some on it riding too rough. 90% of driving is work and running kids around so somewhat smooth is needed. Other 10% will be the occasional trail cruising, no rock climbing
thanks man, yah that's in the medium height, here's a shot in high mode! I run the Ironman cellfoam pro kit on my 200 and love it, not too harsh on the road and great offroad!
Slee bumpers and no spare?? Looks like it will rub, but that a lot of $$$ to have in hardware not to have a spare..Maybe its off for the pic?
I guess it is worth saying that highly-functional off-road LX470s looks pretty different than the hyper-aggressive big-tire trucks on Instagram.
@kreiten great setup. Do your 33x12.5s rub on medium or high AHC? I’m looking at the same tire dimensions (but the new Baja boss tires). Thank you!
The 33x12.50 with 35mm offset wheels only rubbed at full tuck in the rear while offroad on high mode. I now run 35x12.50's so yeah you should be good to go with the 33's.. thanks for the props on the setup!
Thanks for the info @kreiten ! This thing is a beaut! I'm assuming you ditched AHC for a lift when you went to 35s? Also, which rear bumper setup is this?
Still running the AHC, added medium duty OME springs in the rear to help with the bumper weight. Rear bumper is made by Coastal offroad, super happy with it!
Are these true 35s can you share more info on the tire please?
I was wondering why it looked so good! did you have to do any mods to get the 35s to fit? Sorry, I'm trying to figure out best size and its quite hard to figure out.
Going with the Method 703s with 35+offset and was thinking 285/75/17 but wondering if its worth it just to pull the trigger on 35s.
I had to hammer back to the pinch weld in the inner front fender, remove most of the plastic liner and add bigger bumpstops, combo works great! More info in my build thread, thanks! GoldieHahn Build thread - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/goldiehahn-build-thread.1220663/
