BonnerBB's Lifted GX470

[BonnerBB Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close BonnerBB]

I have already learned a thing or two here at Prado Point so I thought I should join and introduce myself.

I have a 2005 Lexus GX470 2005 with the KDSS option. I installed Icon extended length coilovers and Camburg UCA's which gave it a nice 3" lift. The shoes are 285/75-17 BFG's.

I also have a Official Build thread in case you are interested in learning more about it.

Looks good so far, did you have to use wheel spacers to fit the tyres with the standard rims?

Yes the running boards rubbed on the front plus they are really expensive to replace if I smash them. I tried spacers and they actually caused me problems. Although the wheel spacers they gave my truck a great stance they caused an unwanted vibration and rubbing. A body mount chop would be required to put the spacers back on but I decided it wasn't worth it when I tried the spacers with OEM tires and got a horrible vibration when braking. As soon as I took the spacers off the vibration went away.
