Does anyone know if the 2025 Overtrail 1" Suspension Lift is due to any problems with the 2024 Overtrails.

Iām guessing itās more about bench racing in magazine comparison than anything.
A way to print better off road capability stats while changing almost nothing.
1ā suspension lift isnāt going to change much, and there are other much more impactful changes you could chase if you want to improve capability.

Search: āOvertrail Vibrationā
Do you have any evidence that the 2025 lift is related to that?
Purely speculative
I have an OT+ and zero vibration

The one thing different between the different variations is that the Overtrails have EKDSS.
I wonder if that's one of the reasons for the 1" lift only on the Overtrails.

Thats a weird question, for one what problems do Overtrails have and what kind of problems can a 1inch lift solve. Still same approach/departure angles
Not a weird question. Read the Overtrail Vibration thread. Lexus has been pretty consistently saying that "these trucks just ride like this" to all the folks who have brought them in for ride quality and/or vibration issues. If they add a lift, then they would likely use a different spring and shock. In theory, they could redesign the new suspension to be softer in the ride zone. On the flip side, I am not convinced the ride quality issues are indeed caused by the shocks alone. I think it's the eKDSS or something else with the frame and how it transfers the vibrations into the cab.

Ahh, are we on to something here?
I don't have any ride issues. The hood fluttering is a bit annoying though.
'something else..' perhaps the Toyo AT tires the culprit?
The 8.x inch ground clearance of '24 GX is on lowish side; especially, if trim name is Overtrail. My 5th gen 4unner has approx 9.6"(stock). So I definitely can see Lexus increasing height for due cause.
What's interesting, the '25 GX overtrail is slated to have onboard air compressor and prewired aux switches as standard equipment.
Peruse here:
Ground clearance is not just tied to higher suspension. What is the lowest point on these trucks? Typically itās the differential. Springing the truck higher wonāt lift the diff, only taller tires will.
I think this quote above is the chief reason for the 1" lift.
Itās hilarious how few people understand this
