Suspension Upgrade / Improving Ride Comfort

[GTV]

do you know if it's possible to add spacers with airbags? I'd like to get an inch of lift to match the inch I'll be adding to the front end with the torsion bar crank.

I’m not sure, you’ll have to take a look. You could just try pumping up the bags a little.

Yes, you can add spacers with air bags.

Could you post a few pics? would like to see a before and after if you have and under carriage shots.

First two are now unloaded and loaded. Last three are before any suspension upgrades. Don't have airbags plumbed yet. Trying to figure out where to put compressor and how to control it. Also battery system.

Also you can see how close the bumpstop was before. There is a leaf stuck in it. (3rd image)

Should also note I went from stock size tires to LT295/75R-16.

Not sure what you're comparing is against, it is a 3 ton truck after all.

I've had a 4th Gen 4runner, GX 460, 5th Gen 4runner. All of which road better than my 100 series

Just a heads-up that 33psi is borderline under-inflated for LT-rated tires (I beat this drum pretty hard, ha).

On my Silverado..36psi is softer pressure than called for. Tire dealer said you are better off higher pressure than borderline low. Just don’t over inflate. At 40 psi the rolling resistance minimizes. My last set of Michelins gave me over 80000 mile on a 1500 4WD Silverado with most of that mileage on highway surfaces. 65+ mph
