Actually it's uploaded and unlisted because it needed a couple edits. Then the hard drive crashed so we're working on it. Currently have 5 videos in post on that drive. So yeah that's been great🙄
Looks great. QQ. Did you use KDSS spacers to eliminate the passenger side lean? Or did you use spacers on the passenger side strut and rear spring? At those lift numbers it does not look to be leaning so wondering what path you took.
Great question, no spacers. That's what the adjustment in the coilovers, combined with KDSS neutralization is for. Every vehicle that leaves my shop (with adjustable parts, can only do so much with leaf springs) is leveled to within ¼ inch or less, usually less. If you have quality parts, park on dead flat ground, and open the valves it'll level back out whenever it gets off a little. The shims and spacer stuff is a bandage IMO. That's why I prefer a true coilover in the front, so it can be dialed in. Now, a vehicle like this doesn't get a full corner weighting unless the customer specifically request to, but I find they stay true enough that nobody ever calls me about it even years later.
@@CodyCrafted Great info. Thanks! I had a Dobinson on my 4R. Front 300/700 and rear 599/705. I don't want to run 285s as it won't fit in the spare location on the GX. Running 265/70/17s with the FN Pro bronze. Very similar to your wheel choice here except it's an 8" wheel with 0 offset. Pushes out and flush with the fenders. My 4R lift is the same one I was going to do this spring on my GX. For my use a mild 1.5 front and 1 in the rear is fine. Plus my wheel/tire combo won't look lost with this height. As you know these are not adjustable so was curious how you got such a level stance. Now I know :) I'll likely use KDSS spacers in the rear and see how it sits. I have BudBuilt skids and I know KDSS spacer in the front won't work with their front skid plate.... trying to avoid that! Again, great work and I know from experience sliders can be challenging. They look great as well as centered on the truck.
Thank you. Rides better than stock. 5 years of doing these kits without a failure yet. Check some of the other videos, I cover this quite a bit What do you mean in regards to KDSS?
This looks great. I have a 2017 Luxury trim with air suspension that I am going to start upgrading a little at a time. It looks like you are in North Texas is that correct? Just curious what something like this set up would run for mine.
Good stance to give clearance but stay streetable. Hopefully braided steel brake hoses and some sturdy skidplates are on the to-do list if it will see any real action.
Great looking rig! Have you had any problems with the 285 tires on the 7 inch wide wheels? I had been under the impression that they needed at least 7.5 inch wide wheels.
@@CodyCrafted Cool, thanks. That seems to be the consensus and there are a lot of people running that combo. I haven't see a single legit issue from anyone, just some theories on whey it might not work.
No air on this one. Its only on Luxury models and they're actually pretty rare. Even more rare for their owners to want to mod them, on a relatively low production vehicle. It's the 1% of the 1% of the 1%
Well I have a Luxury with air suspension in the back, factory MTS too, but do use it for its intended purpose hehehe. I want to lift it but I get rather conflicting info as to how to not get a constant dash light for the air bag delete. @@CodyCrafted
LX and GX do not have the same systems at all. However parts and methods are available to remove the AHC system from 2008-2015 (16+ is different). I can tell you that Dobinsons MRR on a 200 chassis is phenomenal. Feel free to contact me for more info
@@kanevivalakane3699 ah, well.... I would say that that isn't a real concern, tire clearance, track width, and looks, yes but for rollovers it's not enough to make a difference on a vehicle that's already top heavy and then lifted. Personally not a fan of spacers anyway (although I use them very rarely in certain circumstances). Especially on a vehicle where there are a million good wheel options. Stock wheels are very narrow for most all terrain tire sizes
It's actually back now for a Victory full rear bumper. My design hasn't made it past the cocktail napkin sketch stage. Not enough time for R&D and product development
Looks great! Very interested in those victory sliders but I heard install is a pain and sliders don’t really line up well and can get an uneven look? How was your experience?
I helped install these with Cody and it was my first time with the Victory sliders. If you take your time, the adjustments to make them look good are very possible.
This one hasn't been in the shop since your question. There's another GX in the shop right now that's 76" to the top of the stock rails with 24" rear fender to center of rear hub measurement. That particular truck is one of the taller ones we've done with nearly 3" of front lift and 275/70-18 BFG m/t tires.
Nice build, this inspired me to get the same wheels. My apologies if this is common knowledge but I have a question about the lug nuts. Would these be what I need to get? PT076-60200-02
Sweet build. Am about to do similar on 2014 GX. Love it!
It's a great setup
just bought a 2014 with luxury trim. the journey begins
Congrats! We have a ton of GX content be sure to check out the other videos and hollar if I can help
Jeans with a suit jacket... you're hired.
Nice work been hearing about you on the kippie and friends show excited to see your channel grow!
Thank you so much. 🤘
@@CodyCrafted I’ll make sure to drop a link in my next video
Nice work! Been watching your work on insta for a while. Keep it up.
Thanks so much! I'm dropping the first episode of a build tomorrow
Same rims im planning to put on my gx460 but was planning on putting the falken wildpeaks at3w but sweet looking gx man
We love the Falkens, they get installed on almost half the vehicles that come through.
Looking good fellow GX & DFW'er 👍
are you going to do the blitz front bumper video?

Great setup. How’s the ride quality & longterm of these Dobs? Looking at MRRS. Also, how did you handle KDSS?
Thank you.

What do you mean in regards to KDSS?
@@CodyCrafted great to hear. Any issues with the KDSS after lifts? Did you need to adjust?
Check out the blackline IMS series videos or full installation episode. We cover compensation for kdss pretty thoroughly

What's your reasoning behind ss brake lines? I've done a ton of these style chassis and never had an issue. Like 20 or more vehicles
What's your plan for next the rear bumper? do tell...
I've got a little trick up my sleeve. Just need the time and a willing participant.
Great looking rig! Have you had any problems with the 285 tires on the 7 inch wide wheels? I had been under the impression that they needed at least 7.5 inch wide wheels.
They're at the limit but haven't been a problem.

Nice build! Curious about the rear bumper plans lol. You got a preference between icon and dobinson for the GX?
I've had really good luck with Dobinsons. Nothing against Icon though.
I guess ya better subscribe and stay tuned 😁
The gx460s having the same type of adjustable suspension the LX570 does, could one install a dobinsons kit on a 15 LX570 sir?

Hi.
I am going to install IMS suspension with 2" lift and 30mm spacers.
My tire size is 265/65/R17
I hope this is sufficient to prevent any rollovers.
30mm rear spacers or front?
@@CodyCrafted all 4 wheels to widen them

Did you ever come up with the rear bumper? Are you selling it ?
It's actually back now for a Victory full rear bumper.
My design hasn't made it past the cocktail napkin sketch stage. Not enough time for R&D and product development
Did you added KDSS spacers?
Hey Ariel, We did not use KDSS spacers on this setup.
No BMC?
Nope.
Looks great! Very interested in those victory sliders but I heard install is a pain and sliders don’t really line up well and can get an uneven look? How was your experience?
I've done 6 sets of them. I suppose PITA is subjective 😉
I helped install these with Cody and it was my first time with the Victory sliders. If you take your time, the adjustments to make them look good are very possible.
Whats the offset eah
+15mm they're TRD bronze straight from our local dealer
what is the height at the highest point? Trying to fit in my 6 foot 8 garage

Stock black lugs for a 4runner or tacoma. Or go to discount and get spline lugs
