No, there should be no problem with a LRA, however you will want to keep an eye on where the filler feeds into the LRA, to make sure it isn’t stretched or disconnected. I’m not personally familiar with how they install, but I’d guess that’s the only issue to watch for. @TeCKis300 has a small LRA with a small body lift. He may be able to give additional information.
Looks Great!
Tire and wheel details needed (i know they are Method MR314's).
Sensor lift?
Yes sensor lift and then wheels are 17x7.5 with 25mm offset. Tires 35x12.5x17 followed @TeCKis300 thread for making them fit and only rub in reverse while turning and no body mount modifications
Yup, nailed it with the filler neck as the main concern. Works great.
Anyone who has trimmed down the front foam that resides behind the bumper. How much did you have to cut down. I cut the bottom inch off of it for a 1" BL but my bumper still didn't get very close to fitting. I assume I've got to cut the front nose off it as well. Getting close to wrapping up my install.
Yes, you'll have to reprofile the nose part of the foam. In general, probably cutting off more than you think you need to.
This was a first pass but I think I cut off more than this when finished.

Nice, that's the type of saw i used as well. Thanks, this should get me where i need to be.. I was having trouble making heads or tails of @TeCKis300 mangled support, since he had his all cut up for his HWM.

I finally purchased a whole roll of this trim and I think it’s the best look I’ve found. It looks to be just over 1 1/8” inch tall from the bottom of the groove that will slide over the bumper material. I think this could work for both the 1” and 1.5” kits but each person can judge for themselves.
I need someone to test it for me. Does anyone have my 1.5” kit with a gap above a front or rear bumper that isn’t resolved yet? If you measure how many feet you need, I’d like to send some out to someone for free. I will have to sell it for $9/foot with free domestic shipping after that. I know it can be trimmed down for height, since I’ve cut a different style down, but it’s tricky to trim the height in a nice straight line, so I may leave that up to the 1” gap guys to do that themselves. If enough interest was there, maybe we could get TrimLok to make a shorter height version of it.
Who needs this?
As always, thank you for the support!

This is why the 1.5” body lift is the first thing I’m doing to mine.

Hey, in about 2 weeks, I'll be installing the 1.5" kit I ordered almost a year ago! Installer is wondering about bumpers and if there are any instructions or tips. Can someone give me a heads up?
I'll be happy to buy and purchase this trim roll to help the Forum test this product but not sure what I'm doing (and truthfully to busy to be researching a lot on the 1.5" kits).
My goal is OEM look so I'll move bumpers up with body, if possible. Need to know what folks are doing when it comes to bumpers and then the instructions for those options so I can pass to my installer. If there are multiple approaches to how to deal with bumpers, let me know.
I have the 2021 LX570 ... moving to the 1.5" kit so I can fit 35x13's at 10-20 off set (hoping to land the off set at around 12 or 13 for just a touch of poke... more like subtle bulge passed the fenders).

Micah, I have your 1.5" BL installed and purchased the stuff you originally told me about to fill that gap. But have yet to measure, cut, and install....

No one was selling this type by the foot and I wanted to offer something else if it was preferred.
I'll take a few feet for my rockers. I'd love to close the gap between them and my sliders post BL

As always, happy to be your guinea pig @MTKID! For those just joining us, you'll notice that the Slee rear bumper should measure 1.5" below the factory rear bumper where it's been cut to accommodate. Front bumper is a Valley Overland Co bumper built in Utah and built to accommodate the body lift. Slee sliders have not been changed out or modified yet.
Dude you're black looks really good in that photo. Maybe the orange is popping off.
I haven’t been able to find anybody that builds bumpers for the LX 570’s to accommodate for the 1.5” body lift. I’d love to know more about yours and see more pics.
Chris
Many front bumpers have some amount of adjustability on the frame. For example Dissent bumpers can accommodate about an inch of range on the front (none on the rear). The key is lifting before cutting your bumper, that way you'll have enough bumper left to minimize the gap.
Not all models maintain the plastic bumper sections, so that isn't always an option.
Gotcha...didn't realize there was any adjustment in the Dissent front bumpers. Appreciate the insight.
