Perfect - thanks very much!
Good evening! What is the best oil filter housing tool? I broke my Amazon pot metal one today. (I always torque to spec) she just gave out! Thanks in advance

I went with the motive. It’s costly but I save more than enough on one oil change done myself on our vehicles
How does one know when they need a new suspension or a suspension upgrade?
Driving around with my LC unloaded, it feels fine. But on a recent trip and the vehicle fully loaded with gear, I felt “wobbly” or “boaty” on the freeway.
On forestry roads, the ride was pretty rough as well, but I can’t say if this is different from normal.
Or is this just to be expected with the OEM suspension since it’s not adjustable?
Ps. I only have about 45k miles on the factory suspension.
Pps. I have the Slee formed sliders, Slee rear bumper and 24g LRA tanks and an aux battery up front and a single Goose Gear drawer.
Edit:
I am on Dueler AT Revo 3 LT 275/65r18 (E rated) but these are about done and will likely move to BFG KO2 275/70r18 soon.

What ply tires are you running? Moving to E load tires changed the whole feel of my truck.
Good thinking. But I’m already on E’s.
(I edited my post above to encapsulate it all in one post)
Springs not up to the load. Consider airbags to augment the rear springs.

The RCTIP (Recommended Cold Tire Inflation Pressure) for those LT275/65R18 tires on your LC200 is 45psi F/R. If you are running less than that on the freeway, it could be a contributing cause for your issues.

come try on my 295/70/18s
You can also check out the airbag helpers.
If you want suspension advice, ditch the LC and get an LX with AHC

You can drive mine for reference. I have the kings and airbags on now. I don't have the load they were customized for yet. Bull bar and sliders in shop. No winch purchased yet. 12.5 tank in shop too. We can load it with people dogs and beer and do a mogul run.

How do you still have stock suspension?! I'd assume that rear end would be sagging like a dog taking a poo
I suppose I am like a dog when fully loaded.
Unloaded I have an 1inch of rake (measured from center of hub up to top of wheel-well).
When loaded I have a negative rake of 1 inch.
I worry that my brights are bothering people.
Hence my questions on if I need new suspensions or springs and now, thanks to feedback, airbags.
You have autoleveling headlights, but brights will always bother others.

As others have mentioned helper bags will definitely help. Stock rear springs are just over loaded, you could swap those for stiffer but then would have a rough ride unloaded

anyone happen to know the length of a stock rear lower control arm? Bolt hole to bolt hole?
Does anyone know the part number for the transmission drain and overflow plug crush washers? This is for the 8-speed (2019).
I ordered 2x 35178-30010 from McGeorge. They are saying that I need 35178-60010. They are also saying I only need one, but they don't seem to know that overflow plug exists.
TIA
