Full Suspension Lifts for the GX 550

[jmeetze]

I have a set of the MT64 shocks on the shelf to install on mine. Quality looks pretty good.

Same here. Probably won’t install until this fall though.

What wheel & tire setup are your running? I'd assume 35" tires on 17-inch wheels?

Nice setup, can you share pics? How do you like the 2.5 shocks?

What full-replacement suspension systems are available for the GX550?

So far I have seen:
King
Icon
Fox
Dobinson's
Radflo
ARB/Old Man Emu
Ride Shocks (I think they have/or will have an option for the GX550)

It's kind of difficult to understand exactly what's needed for a full suspension upgrade. Some offer just the front & rear shocks, some include upper control arms, some include UCAs and rear upper & lower links, some include all of the above plus a rear track bar and a front diff drop. The Icon Stage 10 includes it all - I just noticed that the Icon Stage 10 Billet package is on sale from $11,285 down to $9,458. That's a good savings. Too bad about "APPLICATION NOTE #175: Will not fit GX550 Overtrail"!

As much as I'd like to install a full suspension system myself, I will probably have to go to a place like Westcott and pay them to consult on exactly what I need for my purposes. The easiest way to get their full attention and advice is to pay $$$$ for the installation.

You wouldn't happen to have a link for the fox suspension you found for the GX? I couldn't find anything from them for my GX. TIA
