Thank you.

Good to see someone local with this build 👍🏾
LOVE the gx 460 content!
Great video. Thanks for the help, got my lift installed this weekend
Our pleasure.
Def saving this for a full watch later. Plan on lifting mine in the coming year. Good stuff bro, subbed.
Awesome! Thank you! Feel free to reach out when you're ready to order. We are a dealer
Love It! Thanks for sharing the KNOWLEDGE!
My pleasure!
Awesome looking rig. Enjoyed the video.
Thank you
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
No one needs a spring compressor of any type to do this work, you just do it using a floor jack under the LCA. Remove the two bolts under/either side of lower ball joint and remove the nut on top of the shock and take the strut out disassembled, leaving the top hat in place, it's simple and no need to break ball joint/tie rod loose. Obviously, you can then reassemble a new shock and spring back in place.
I'll pray you have a speedy recovery
That’s a sweet setup. Huge fan of your vlogs. What size tires are you running with the Weds?
285 65r18
Awesome
Thank you
What’s the sizing and offset of the Weds? Thanks.. great build
0 offset. 18x9. We're a dealer for Weds, LMK if I can help
Amazing build! How big was this lift?
2.25" thanks for watching
Nice video. What are your thoughts on using KDSS drop spacers (1 front, 2 rear)? Can those help with KDSS issues? I've read that it's necessary for getting maximum articulation from long travel rear shocks, and it seems to make sense to me.
I agree.
I use Dr.KDSS parts. This vehicle is pretty much street driven.
@@CodyCrafted Thank you, that's interesting.
About DR.KDSS, is it sufficient to do the 2 rear KDSS spacers and the two front sway bar relocation brackets for a 2" lift? (as opposed to the 3-part kit from Treaty Oak) Do the front sway bar relocation brackets also resolve lean, or do they just resolve fit issues with the sway bar?
Something else I noticed was that Dobinsons offers both KDSS and non-KDSS lifts for these vehicles. Apparently the KDSS version features springs with different heights on the right and left to physically correct lean (without addressing the KDSS system directly), so it seems that it would be preferable to get the non-KDSS version for installations where DR.KDSS parts are also being used.
Could you add a link to those spring tools?

Thank you for posting this awesome content. I'm a GX460 lift newb... My wife has a 2020 that we're looking to level/lift for look and occassional elk hunts on nasty forest service roads. How do the Dobinsons compare ride-wise with the Old Man Emu kits in the 2-3" medium spring rate? We'd prefer to be close to factory ride quality. Thank you in advance!
The good news is you're not going to get factory ride quality. Stock is over damped and under sprung. Causing wallowy sway over bumps and braking, with a tendency to blow through the stroke
The IMS is just a more advanced setup than OME yellows. They're not bad per-se but the IMS is my favorite kit and after 50-ish of these kits, never a complaint.
The Nitro shock can be stiffer in my experience but not a bad ride quality
@@CodyCrafted Any feedback on the OME MT64 kit? They seem to the more than half way between Nitrochargers and the full remote res BP51 kit.
@BeowulfHagen I haven't had the opportunity to install yet. However, more (quality) options in the market are always a good thing. ARB makes good stuff, I'm sure they're a solid choice.
Do you not do anything to the KDSS like spacers because you are changing the geometry of the suspension ?
Not at this height for this vehicle's intended usage. We use Dr.KDSS and TreatyOak for KDSS correction on rigs that see more offroad and more that 2" of lift
I wanna buy the stock suspension? And the stock rims.
They are gone, but I have a couple sets of takeoffs with very low miles.
What would a set up and service like this cost?
Shoot me an email for a current quote. Cody@codycrafted.com
@CodyCrafted what's the wheel and tire specs on this GX?
Weds TC105X and 285/60-18 bfgs
@@CodyCrafted any rubbing issues at full lock? If so, any fender mods needed for this lift?
@@user-ht8ti3wq3g just a little trimming of the running board plastic and remove the panel on the fronts. Maybe some heat gun as needed
gotta John Force that spring in
