A great deal and a great dude. Thanks for all your help.Lmk! Happy to make a good deal
Another MT64 kit is going on a GX.
Appreciate the kind words!
Do you guys know anyone who has done a ride comparison between the 2024 and 2025? I’m wondering if the stiffer springs on the 25 would improve the towing experience. I’m on the suspension upgrade train, but I don’t want to do it until I figure out my full build and resulting weight.
Looks great!
@DJ’s Sled thanks for all the feedback and great information shared, very helpful.
I had Slee do some work on my 4Runner and those guys are great.
As far as the GX, glad to hear there is “hope” even though it’s a bummer.
I wonder if the LC250 is affected by similar issues? Given they share so much.
Also, I know Slee runs ADS on their GX. Any reason why you went with MT64 instead (other than price)? And other options on the table? I know another very popular option with LCs is the BP51 by OME.
Thanks!

Earth,
I’ve had really professional and expert help from Slee. We’ve had good technical discussions related to suspension upgrades and any accessories I have been curious about.
As far as the LC250 OEM ride goes I’d only be guessing based on various internet readings..including comments on this forum. But Slee told me that the ride of one of the first LC250 they upgraded with the MT64 kit was improved; and the owner immediately noticed it and called it a real improvement too.
I did go with the MT64 ‘mid-level’ kit based partly on price, and the reality that I actually didn’t need or would use easy day-to-day big adjustability. I also recognized that the MT64 used some of the same internals as the BP51. And the MT64 front end is adjustable if / when i get ready to add a heavy front bumper. The rear shock springs can also be changed if I routinely start carrying heavier loads.
I’m not as familiar with the ADS systems, but if I recall correctly the pricing began to really add up, and I felt the MT64 was a better buy and possibly with better reliability. But obviously I have no real evidence of that.

I had the opportunity of meeting the President of Slee at an Overlanding Expo here in So Cal last month. Very professional and knowledgable. They had a built out Incognito (which is my color) GX Overtrail and I must say it looked pretty nice. I have the Slee sliders and have ordered the full skid plates but i decided to go with the Dissent Bumper primarily for the lower profile and I just like the looks. The products I have of theirs are very well built.
I've never run and OME kit that didn't blow me away. I'm a suspension snob and it's actually concerning how few kits get it right out of the box. OME kits just deliver every time. Glad to see you're loving your MT64s!
