Good stuff! I've done the sensor lift and have some of the undesired affects you mentioned. Glad to know there is a way to correct it and go even higher. Looking forward to the install video.
A good alignment can fix a lot of the effects after a lift. But at some point you run out of room to adjust with the stock components. I have lost of the work done with a lot of video clips. Going to try and get at least one of them uploaded this weekend.
Would love to know if you’ve done all these suspension components. I’m installing the track bar correction kit right now and I still need to do the spacers in the front, but I haven’t done anything else in the rear.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I have a found something strange. The AHC sensors were not in the same position - 2 were close to the lower end of the slide. I corrected them. Then a funny thing is that I have a crooked steering wheel. It is not centered. Any advice? Thanks.
That is a common issue. It is important to make sure everything is aligned correctly, after you make any adjustments to the height. Take it in for an alignment and they should be able to correct the steering wheel angle and also verify your toe and caster are set correctly.
Would you recommend doing your globes first before you do this? I can't tell if my globes need it, but I've been thinking about doing it since the maintenance history on AHC fluid changes was absent from the records. But I also wonder if it's better to do after doing this whole setup like you have done. Also, if you did a video of this work getting done, even if it was a super long video, i'd be totally down to watch it.
You can. But it’s not necessary. If your AHC fluid has not been flushed I would recommend doing that. My general rule of thumb on the LX AHC is to flush fluid at 65k miles, 100k miles, 125k miles, and then replace the globes and flush at 150k miles. I did a detailed video of the glove replacement and flushing on my previous LX. Here it is incase you want to see the whole process. th-cam.com/video/kyhXTL4629M/w-d-xo.html
@@NKPGarage thanks. I flushed them at 140k when I first got the LX. Now at 160. So I’ll keep to the schedule and do the globes eventually. But rather do this now haha!
@TylerPoppe if the ride feels good you’re probably fine to keep the current globes. The typical sign that the globes have failed is when your ride gets really “bouncy” over bumps, or when you aren’t able to notice a difference anymore between the different comfort/normal/sport settings.
@@NKPGarage hmm copy that. I feel like I could never tell too much of a difference between the modes on my 2013, just barely. Maybe I’ll just do it for peace of mind and a new baseline. Thank you! I need to find a LX in my area to ride in to see if it feels different from mine ha.
I use the Lambs Automotive up in round rock near where I am. But if I have time the best alignment shop in central Texas is Jerry’s Wheel Alignment in Pflugerville.

Great videos. Can’t wait to see the install
Thanks for watching! I'm working on the install video now.

Where in Austin do you get an alignment?
