You only drop 1" between H and L? I assume you actually mean H and N? Even that seems like not as much lift as what should be there. Should be getting closer to 2" of lift from N to H and 4" from L to H.

From Park you should see

Mode	Front	Rear
L	-60mm	-40mm
N	0	0
H	+50mm	+60mm

Yes…sorry about that! Low meant N, and High meant H in the numbers I shared.

Question: When you adjust the AHC to raise the truck to ride higher in “N” …do the margins between “N” and “H” remain static? Or are they reduced?

I am going to re-measure over lunch.

Not sure if i understand what you are asking. There is no "higher in N" at least when not moving. There are only 3 modes to choose from and there is no adjustment between those modes. If the truck isn't moving, then the heights in the table above are the expected outcome. Depending on how your sensors are adjusted is what sets the 0 point for N, then L and H are relative to whatever N is. When the truck is in motion, depending on transfer case settings, speed, and wheel slip, the different modes (L/N/H) may have different heights relative to standard N height.

10-4... you answered my question. The distance between N and H or N and L remains the same distance (static) relative to the N height of your truck...even if you move the N position up a bit via AHC sensor adjustment. Good to know! Thank you!

Soooo.....When I measured this a.m. I did not move the truck. I just turned it on. It had been sitting for a week or so.

So I decided to drive the truck about a mile (in N) and brought it back to retake the measurements. I did make one other change....I also move the ride/suspension to the middle position between Sport and Comfort (my prior measurements it was sitting in Comfort mode).

Here is what I got:

H (High) 36" Front; 38" Rear
N (Nuetral). 33 1/2" Front; 35 Rear
L (Low). 31 1/2" Front; 33 1/2" Rear


Live and learn!

EDIT: Started a new thread as this really deserves it's own. Sorry for polluting the pic thread.

Overall Lift Database

We started polluting a picture thread with some numbers to compare overall lift. This topic really deserves its own thread. Overall lift measuring from ground to fender lip as this is easy to measure. Includes tires, suspension, and potential body lifts. Figure this would be a great...

Thanks @Steveray450 !! Putting the numbers here for easier cross reference.

IIRC, the LC heights are generally equivalent to the LX at normal position? Can any LC owners confirm?

Ground to fender height

	Front	Rear
@MTKID - 37s, Body Lift, Sensor Lift, (AHC high)	43 1/2" (with 2" cut fender) 41 1/2" (normalizing for fender cut)	42 3/8"
TeCKis300 - 35s, Sensor Lift, (AHC high)	38 3/8"	40 1/2"
@Steveray450 - stock	36" (high) 33 1/2" (normal) 31 1/2" (low)	38" (high) 35" (normal) 33 1/2" (low)
LC?

Back to the regularly scheduled programming. Lowrider photo to make it right

I added some Kenda Klever R/Ts (285/75R18) with Ironman UCAs and an alignment last week.

Then took the fam and trailer to the woods...

What is the advantage of the UCAs? Any change in ride

Aftermarket UCAs usually allow for more range in alignment numbers, and are frequently a requirement for tall lifts.

 

[Clyde S Dale]

Our base outside of Terlingua for the next couple nights.

Not really noticeable other than my UBJs are not blown any longer so that makes me feel good inside. They were an easy install.

 

[LXGus]

Our first multi-day road trip. 4,300 miles, made it through some amazing trails with zero issues the entire time. The LX mostly stock is still a beast.

There was a TLCA meetup at Duggy's Garage in Houston the other night. Duc had the RTI ramp pulled out and I figured "why not"...
43" up the ramp in H, 48" up the ramp in N

This was all just for grins

Solid! Do you know what degree ramp that was? Based on the numbers you're showing, doesn't seem to be a 20* ramp. Possibly a 30* ramp? Also interested in what mods you have?

Assuming a 30* ramp, RTI scores as follows:

High - 560
Normal - 626

Seems consistent to the tracking table I have here:

Suspension Articulation RTI Tracker

Been watching the new beastly generation of factory off-roaders come out like TRX, Bronco Sasquatch, Colorado ZR2 Bison, and soon to be Raptor R and Bronco Raptor. Keen on how far they're pushing the limits of factory capability and suspension articulation. I have been keeping this tracker...

It's 30ish degrees lol
Just the AHC lift and 295/70r18 meats
There was 200 series LC there that went 53" up the ramp. I don't know what his mods were though

That's awesome.

53" equates to a solid 690 RTI score.

Interesting. I wonder what it would ramp with stock AHC height? (sensors not lifted) And then what it would ramp in AHC low with your current setup. (assuming front bumper clearance was better so you could try)

1st-Low 2nd-High
No rubbing even in low and turning up off camber. Having fit large tires on other Cruisers I feel like I could fit short 37s with ~2” of lift, a small 1/2” BMC, and a bump stop upgrade. I wouldn't say that if I had 3 adult passengers and cargo weight or a hefty rear bumper. Granted I haven’t towed a trailer with it yet and don't intend to wheel it….at least not yet.

 

[coleAK]

Winter is going on too long and I got impatient. Figured I rarely drive the LX in the winter so would go ahead and switch to my new summer set up. The alphaEquipt fit and look great. Couldn’t get Defenders so went with KO2s. Had to do some major mud flap work with the heat gun and zip ties due to less offset I’ll probably end up taking them off. 17” +35 offset 285/70-17. Had 275/60-20 on the OEM 20’s before these with no rubbing.

 

[TheEvilPrince]

Just got a ceramic coat. I am thrilled with it and how it makes the Onyx black almost like a mirror.

 

[urinalcake]

I feel your pleasure...

 

[achillar30]

I finally got the 21’s off the car and put on some 20’s. Then I bought some Michelin Defender LTXs in 275/60R20. First time on some fire roads and I’m blown away with what the car can do just with a decent set of 33” tires.
Can’t thank everyone on here enough for posting so much information. Still amazed that you can put a 33” tire on these cars including the spare. Never imagined what this car could do when I swapped it for my old 2014 Range Rover Autobiography…literally went from the most poorly-built money pit to the most over-engineered car built these days.

Alternate shot below in case anyone wants to see what a 2016+ LX looks like with the beautiful OEM rims from the earlier years.
