I finally decided to build something from my absolutely stock 2006 GX470. My goal is to build decent overlanding rig for comfortable week-long solo travels, and first thing I'm going to invest in is a suspension and bigger tires.
My idea is to throw out factory shocks hardness control and air bags and install just coil springs and aftermarket shocks.
The first question I have is would 305/65/17 fit on stock rims and how much lift / what wheels do I need to make them fit?
Basically, my biggest concern with a lift is - it reduces wheel base (control arm angle increases -> wheel base decreases), so are there any decent lift kits with longer control arms? Or which kit people usually use?
