With a preload lift with stock suspension components it’s obviously a give and take when off roading. What you lose in ground travel you gain more in larger tires(the reason for lift), approach angle, and ground clearance. IMO that’s a net benefit.
As far as the ride being “firmer”and the...
This is such a clean set up!
Do you mind sharing where you purchased those OZ wheels(online, local dealer,etc)? They are really growing me. Just doing a general search they aren’t that common in a 18x8.5 +35.
Also how do the falkens ride(stiffer or bouncy) with that 3ply side wall? I have a...
I’m so jealous of all those who have wescott within reasonable driving distance. I definitely want to do a mild lift but lack the time and tool to take apart coil overs. I’ve installed an icon stage 2 on f150 but that was more of bolt on install. No experience with preloads.
oh it’s coming off. They snuck it on while I was doing paperwork and I needed to get back on the road. Plus I may or may not have got moved up on the list bc “I got a guy” that’s works for Sewell corporate and wouldn’t want to ruffle any feathers.
After a 3 hr drive home from Sewell Lexus in Dallas I’m happy report the GX was everything I hoped it would be. First off it rides like a truck. This doesn’t bother me one bit. If I could describe the gx in one word it feels stout. Even though you “feel” the bumps on the road there is no...
I know there is a lot of confirmation bias in this thread/forum bc people are looking for answers but is there anyway someone can take a poll of gx 550 OT owners experiencing the vibrations and not experiencing the vibrations?
IMO Lexus has chosen wisely with all the color choices. Obviously you can’t go wrong with white or black or anything in between. Personally I chose OT+ earth with black roof bc I like the contrast. And feel it’s a “call back” to classic LC’s. My second choice would have been white and some...
Man that’s strange. I know the hydraulic KDSS systems would have these issues but also easily remedied. Now that it’s an electronic system who knows…. Hope they can get you fixed up.
Pardon my naivety in what I’m about to write. I watched just about every in depth review on YouTube and I havnt run across anyone talking about these issues. I’m guessing the vehicles they are testing have been put through the wringer. Do you think there is a possibility that there would be a...
I certainly didn’t mean to discount your experience. I don’t doubt something “else” was going on with you GX. And Im sure it was frustrating going through all that. I think to certain extent with this being a first year redesign we all are a little nervous. At least I am. Happy to hear you...
This makes me feel a bit better. Unless it’s shaking my fillings out I probably won’t notice coming from full-size truck/suv’s. And the only experience I’ve had with air suspension is a ls460 and 7 series sedan. I Have no expectations that it will be anything close to those.
This is absolutely insane. I take delivery in about a month and pray I don’t have this issue. I havnt read through the whole thread so forgive me if I repeat something. Logically the only way the see the issue is just your Gx vs the common gx would to drive the same trim levels back to back...
Those are very interesting. My only concern is they are 68lbs, 15 lbs more than the stock at3. Total weight of the tire/wheel is something personally I’m going to take into consideration with new tires.
I believe the general consensus is a 285/70r18 or 33.5 inch tire will fit with positive offset wheel. Finding a 33.5” that isn’t at LT tire is hard. If someone know of a non LT 33.5” please chime in. Anyone who has run LT tires knows the ride quality isn’t the best.
My 2021 ford tremor has...
Has anyone measured the height difference between the front and back? With the high payload and tow rating I’m sure it’s sizable. Although I have no plans on towing anything more than a golf cart/side by side I think I’m going to wait for something with some adjustability. Just in case…

o consider another color if one came available before my order comes in, I might have to add that to the list of ones I would accept!
Hello all. I’ve been snooping the forum for the past couple weeks and decided to join today. Lots of great information and I’m sure more to come with deliveries. I have on order earth overtrail+ from Sewell Lexus in Dallas. I’m hearing fall so patiently waiting.
My apologies if this...
