Need this kit as I'm doing 35's for a street set up but would like to have a 36-37's setup for off road trips. I'll just push sensors to align for the type of trip necessary.
Let me know how to get on the list.
I like your plans. I had planned on doing the same thing, except 37’s for the street and my 40’s for trail days, but once I had the 40’s on I couldn’t bring myself to take them off
For anything above 35’s, I’d recommend the 1.5” body lift. You should probably still trim the front fenders up some if you want to be able to hit ledges and drop off of ledges without any interference. Some haven’t trimmed and had a dynamic event off-road cause the tire to hit the fender. It is of course up to you, but I would hate someone to expect it to clear and have damage when it doesn’t.
Wheel offset plays a big part of this too. It’s a fine line to tuck the tire inside the fender well instead of hitting the underside.
The sensors can be kept in a small lift/adjusted position. At least that’s what I would recommend because it will effect alignment and it would be unfortunate to wear out tires if it wasn’t aligned correctly for one or the other adjustment position.
I wouldn’t max out the sensors myself. Maybe 1/2 or 3/4 to max would be a good rule of thumb, IMO. That should allow good ride quality and still provide good articulation with enough droop. Although each vehicle is a little different so you may play with it a little. Then when you’re happy with it, have it aligned in Normal height with the sensors left in that position. This also means your CV’s aren’t maxed out when in High, off-road, and they should survive a little longer, especially with heavier 36”-37” tires likely on there.
You’ll need to do the body mount chop and follow a similar amount removed as I showed in a previous post in order to clear 37’s. Since you have an LX, the KDSS isn’t a concern but you’ll want to still be careful how close the tire comes to the swaybar. I have removed my front swaybar and a few others have done the same, and the AHC seems to compensate pretty well on-road, with a notable improvement off-road. Leave the rear on. It will flex well still. Address the pinch seam like others have as well.
I bet you’ll find the LX handles 37’s surprisingly well, so you may end up leaving them on for longer and longer after each trip
I sent you a message about getting on the list
