Not sure how it applies here, but I have both a GX and a Jeep JK. My JK has BP51 3.5" lift. Considering the JK is a very different beast, I just wanted to say that yes, the BP51 are better than stock in terms of ride quality (considering the lift), but I gave up on trying to adjust them...

now you tell me. tossed them couple of months ago. i'm not sure you want to mix n match springs. it sits high because it's designed to carry some load. if you're not feeling like adding some load in the rear, a pair of 24 or even non-lift, light OME should be < $500 for the pair but don't get...

you can buy the coils at any lexus dealer, there's a thread here somewhere with the part numbers. dealer can also install but it's a lot cheaper to do at an independent shop. lexus quoted me $2800 for the install, shop quoted $700.

also, alignment is critical. toe will be way off after any lift on an IFS. but, i guess that is a given. never heard of any dealer that does suspension work without also doing wheel alignment.

the car still works without calibration. everything is just a bit off. mostly it can't tell the distance to obstacles correctly so collision avoidance and adaptive cruise are off. i noticed way more emergency break/collision alerts before the calibration. when you lift/lower all 4 (like the...

had it done at an indie toyota shop. they calibrated sensors but i did the lights myself. have them a bit lower than stock so not to blind oncoming traffic. dealer wanted $2800+tax for the install + msrp for the springs. got the springs for 15% less online and a shop that specialized in yota...

have not changed tires yet, but have done a lot of research on this topic as I'm about to order a new set. from all the comments I've seen you can fit 35" tires with this lift, without trimming, but... there are 35x12.5 and 35x11.5. for the 12.5 you'd need a lower wheel offset, like +35 instead...

the GX550 has a lot of electronics in it, which had me concerned about discharge when I first got it, so I spent hours logging discharge rates manually with a voltage/current meter. what I found is that the car has a proximity sensor for the remote/keys which turns on some of the electronics in...

i have the peaksuspension top hat. easier install than westcott. not sure about long term reliability of either. i have a 2024 OT+ and upgraded the suspension to the 2025. the 2024 front coils are softer than the 2025 and the collars were designed to stiffen them up a bit. the 2025 coils are...

Asked my dealer the about the update when I came in for service last month, he said they have the update but won't release it until the EPA/CARB approve it. Apparently any such change needs to prove no or positive environmental impact prior to release.

I'll just leave this video here- Those body mounts flex. I'm glad to hear you didn't notice any issues after so many miles of offroading. gives me some confidence. I also like your idea of using rivets. I was considering just drilling through and using a nut/bolt combo or even welding some...

I've recently installed a JW-Offroad front bumper on my '24 GX550. wanted to share some issues that have come up, which seem general for most if not all GX550 front bumpers I've seen (dissent, jw, victory)- A few notes first- I always DIY. This way I know exactly what I got and what to look...

I was looking for this thread a long time and finally created an account here so can say thank you to everyone who posted these great finds and also provide a bit of feedback based on my install experience. I have a '24 GX550 and a heavily modified '15 Jeep JK (had 4runners before those). On...
