Want 2" lift up

[originalegoiste]

Hi,

I have 2018 LC200 Onyx pearl color and wanna lift up "2 inch.
Considering 18inch heritage bronze wheels, 275/70R18 BF goodrich tires. Plus, Would it be possible to use OEM shocks with 2inch up springs? Or should I go to the "2 lift kit like ironman4*4, ICON stage1, or Bilstein?
Looking forward to your replies, Bro!
* actually I am not satisfies with the Blue color so would like to hear your artistic point of view with how i can make my car look super cool!
Thx

Assuming the suspension is the spring/shock setup, not AHC (looks like you are in South Korea, not sure which suspension you get there) I don't think the stock shocks will work.

There are lots of options for mild lifts, like you mentioned: Old Man Emu, Ironman, Bilstein, Tough Dog, Icon, King, etc. They'll all give you the proper lift, it really depends on what is available in your local market, what you plan to use them for, and your budget.

If you don't like the color, you could have it vinyl wrapped in a color you like.

You can probably spend several 10s of thousands modifying it to your tastes

Dobinsons has a 2 inch lift as well. Crikeymike can hook you up, although given where you are at it might be easier to get it from Australia more directly.

If you want more height, I'd encourage you to lift less with suspension and more with tire diameter. In other words, don't stop at a 275/70r18 (33.1" diameter). Go all the way to a 285/70R18 (33.71") tire. Your '16 model with the 8-speed and bigger brakes will take it well.

It'll handle better with better suspension geometry, have more lift under the rear axle, more sidewall and compliance when aired down, better approach/departure angles, and look beefier.

Thanks for my first thread reply. i should go to the whole lift kit including springs & shocks. I have imported my LC200 from the US and am searching the lift kit from the US & Australia market. Regarding my mild lift taste & budget, one of my options will be Ironman stage1 "2 inch lift kit.

Oh I haven't heard of it "Crikeymike". Will google it and consider Dobinson too.

Thanks for your reply and will consider your suggestions! My current one is 285/60/R18 OEM Grandtrek. There is no 285/70R18 tires here in Korea unfortunately. Can't wait to get them. Beefier sounds cool!

Yes,, for sure man.

Wheels are the Method NV305 with +25 offset and the tires are Goodyear Duratrac 295/65/18 they are a true 33" tire
I choose this lift for the fact that is is proven and many folks here use it the SPC UCA's i have heard are not mandatory but I got them just for piece of mind that the alignment would be spot on and it is The tires and wheel combo balanced out PERFECT as well
