Sorry if this has been answered a million times before (I couldn't find it). How much can I lift the front and still keep the stock shocks?

I have run 2" lift on the front and rear and worked great on the non-AHC shocks!
nice product. I made my own with some ABS sheet plastic. Especially for an aftermarket bumper. Used a heat gun and box cutters to shape and cut to what I needed. drilled holes for bolts and works though not as pretty.
My 2002 LX470 has a +/- 2 1/4” AHC lift. No rubbing whatsoever with 285/75r 16 BFG KO2’s.
The ride is smooth as a 1970’s Cadillac while in Comfort setting.
How I did it…
- New AHC globes from IMPEX Japan
- Adjusted AHC sensors to gain the lift
- Front diff drop
- Zeal AHC shock extension brackets… ( these make a whole world of difference with lifted AHC)
Thanks!
The reflector assemblies are meant to work with LEDs according to the info provided. However, since I try to not be a @&$*#… (well…. not a COMPLETE @&$%!€)
I also adjusted the lights to the proper angle to hopefully prevent that from happening.
We all have our limits!
Looking good!
Link please?
I got them from EBay Motors. The screenshot with the seller is attached.

Pretty sure those are not for LEDs and using them with LEDs is just going to blind everyone else. It would be kinda weird for them to be made for LEDs but them to provide halogen bulbs with the purchase...
I would assume too. Nice lights for projector retrofitting... Too many todos lined up already. Thanks for the link
Alas, it says nothing about LEDs in the photos or description (that I can see). You’re gonna be blinding some folks, unfortunately.
'Ladder" and courtesy/running board replacement lights.
Replaced the exhaust.
Had hot fuel gases and positive pressure in my fuel tank due to a well positioned exhaust leak.
Check out the melted sludge:
Ended up doing the walker exhaust, advanced wanted like $600, rock auto had it to me for $275 shipped. Normally like OEM but the Toyota sourced parts didn’t made sense.

I've been quietly paranoid about getting pulled over since replacing the rear bumper. The ARB lights are small-ish and easily qualify as 'obscured' at various angles. Some Rigid Chase lights handled that nicely (boo, no turn signals built in though) and look sweet af.
Looks good, and functional really. Curious on your ARB rear bar integrated brake light - doesn’t that have a third wire that you can splice with your factory brake lights and it would illuminate brighter when you step on the brakes?
Finally put on some MT’s. Unfortunately I didn’t see that they were cupped very badly. Still have 13/32” tread in the high spots. Going to see if I can continue to drive them and smooth a bit.
There is but I was already pretty sure I was going to add lights for reverse lighting*. Once I'd made that decision and added the top brake lights, I changed out the ARB ones to LED bulbs to lighten the load.
* As soon as I mounted the ARB reverse light I hated it. It added a whole extra set of steps/layer of complexity to accessing the spare tire.
Maybe I was finding excuses and building a case to buy the chase lights. Who knows
