One of the modifications I wanted to put on my 2019 LC200 was a 2-inch lift with stiffer springs that can handle the increased weight of desired future changes. After much research and thinking about my real requirements, compared to “wants” that I might not actually need, I decided upon a Dobinson’s lift with heavy front springs and medium ones in the back. I also decided while I was in there that putting on SPC UCAs would be part of the package. I read every suspension installation post I could find, and watched more videos than I can count. At the end, I decided it was well within my skills, although having someone help was recommended too many times to ignore. So over the past three weekends, a friend of mine and I did some wrenching. While all the preparation helped, I realized that there is still not a post out there, at least that I could find, that really broke it down in enough detail to truly make it easier and reduce risk. As such, I decided to write this post to hopefully help folks avoid some of the issues we encountered. This is what it looked like after I put on Budbuilt ultimate sliders earlier this year, but before the lift.
Here it is after the lift. BTW, when my bride saw it after we put on the lift, she asked me if the Rock Warrior wheels I have been searching for will be bigger, since the stock wheels look too small now. God bless her!
