Pulling the fuse and disconnecting the comp defeats the purpose of adjusting the sensors for lift. To do a sensor lift you just need to adjust the sensors while keeping AHC functioning as normal just at a higher setting. If you want a permanent high mode, (higher than sensor lift) you put it in high and then disconnect the comp and pull the fuse.
285/70/R17 is my choice .. It’s half an inch less than 295. I only sensor lift it and kept AHC functioning normally, using it for both on road and off-road. My advice is to delete AHC only in case you’re changing to aftermarket off-road suspension. Issue with keeping AHC at its highest position is that it is bumpy
And a very good aftermarket suspension at that. I think AHC can hold its own. Its kinda like having remote reservoirs since all the dampening and everything is handled outside of the shock.
I highly advise against locking the truck in high permanently. When I showed how to do that it was to show how the systems works and how the network ECU checks for other modules on the Canbus and what happens if it doesn’t see the AHC module. This is something that, as I mentioned in my video, in actual practice wouldn’t make sense for day to day use. You are going to have a stiff ride and lose all the handling and responsive benefits of AHC.
Great video, definitely subing! I pick up my 570 next Thursday... That's good to know the 570 fits 17" wheels fine, no issues with rotors/brakes?... What do you think the max rim/tire size would be on a 2008 570? I'm ok with some trimming and maybe a running board delete, I'm not rock crawling this will be my Snow Cruiser, I live in Lake Tahoe. Thanks!
Hi Daniel, thank you for the question and subing, we have had no issues with a 17" wheel being fitted on the 570's. Let us know if you have any questions!
How does disabling the height control affect the hydraulic lift system? Does it totally negate it or if that system fails will the body drop down to lowest position?
By disconnecting the computer, are you still able to transition to medium height when you want? I would like to keep mine on high mode past 20mph, but will i be able to manually lower it from the switch?
I believe that they pulled the plug so that it can stay on high mode. I did the sensor lift without pulling the plug and it won't stay on high mode. Which is an extra 2 inches on top of the sensor lift.
@@jackhilex1 sensor lift is different than putting it in high and pulling the fuse. To do a sensor lift you just move the sensor and that's it. The AHC function is retained with the difference that each mode (low, normal, high) will now be about 1" higher. Pulling the fuse after sensor lift just disables AHC. If you want more lift then you can put it in high, pull the fuse and disconnect the ECU but this isn't recommended.
I just got a 2014 LX570. It's on 20" factory wheels. Can I fit 35x12.50x20 AT/MT with Sensor lift. Won't be wheeling with this 570. Just for the looks.
You can, but you have to adjust the wheel well liner and chop the body mount behind the front tires. You also need wheel spacers. Just for looks, a Lt275/60R20 is a 33x11 and will basically drop in. I am currently installing a LT275/65R20 on my 2009, which is a 34" tire. Needed spacers and minor adjustments up front. Lots of info on this on iH8mud.

Aeki, thank you for leaving us a comment, we appreciate the detailed information. Thank you for watching!

Agree, if you need a half inch that bad perhaps you bought the wrong vehicle.
33 x 12.5 x 17 looks great in mine. With the AHC system still operational 😮
Is the AHC option still operational?

You making too much Sense my brother :) These LX570 builds are for the lazy mall crawler types. He has no idea he just gave himself an awful ride lol.
You guys did an amazing job, thank you!
Thank you for your comment, we all appreciate it!
Great video.
Thank you!
Love this. Thanks
So the fuse pulling is the full ahc delete & the sensors will keep the ahc high in its current position permanently right?
Thank you for your question. Yes, that is correct. Thanks for watching!!

33” tire size with slight trimming on front. 285/70/r17 with 25 offset. About an inch wider than standard offset.
Every time i make it in a HI mode and disconnect the comp it drops down instantly, any suggestions? Please need your support

Nice work
Can I do this to my 2016 LX?
Can you just perform a sensor lift and not pull that fuse?
You don't pull any fuses or disconnect the AHC ecu when doing a sensor lift. I'm not sure why these guys pulled the fuse.
I believe that they pulled the plug so that it can stay on high mode. I did the sensor lift without pulling the plug and it won't stay on high mode. Which is an extra 2 inches on top of the sensor lift.

will this set up rub if flexed fully and/or fully turned and flexed?
Hello, no issues there, we did have to trim a small amount on the front fender liner and the rear of the front fender liner.

@ Thanks 🙏
This is literally the worst idea ever just lift the vehicle properly 😂😂
So 8.5 inch wide wheels with a +25mm offset? And no rubbing after flaps modified? If so, thanks
