I own a 2010 w/ 40k miles - everything stock except for BFG KO2 285/65/18, OEM coil spacers, and Slee Sliders
Any recommendations on the easiest/best way to add 1-1.5" lift, improve vehicle nose dive when braking hard, as well as improve cornering/handling and firming up the lean? The stock suspension, while insanely low miles on my rig, is almost 14 years old.. and perhaps time to go. Most threads I've seen here relate to much more complex builds than I am looking for. This LC will see some Sierra snow on ski trips and a few forest service trails... nothing crazy but want to beef it up a bit.
The KO2's look slightly stuffed in the wheel wells, and most importantly would like a slightly firmer ride with improvement over stock "squishy" suspension. The other day we were on the freeway and ahead of us a tailgater caused everyone to jam the brakes pretty hard... we were fine, keeping our distance, however - the initial nose dive and jello-like feel in the vehicle is something I want to address.
Leaning toward Old Man Emu products but would enjoy hearing from anyone who has input!
