How much rear suspension droop is required for a LC200 with IRS and lift?

[stom_m3]

The LC200 has independent rear suspension. How much droop is required for the vehicle to operate correctly off road. A lift kit would take away from the droop. Is there a maximum lift that should be considered on the LC200 such that, articulation would not suffer? Thanks,

Not yet it doesn't.

The 200 Series does not have IRS. Only the Sequoia. I am not sure about the 200, but the 100 calls for atleast 60mm of downtravel.

My fault. I thought the 200 had IRS. I'm running into down travel limitations after I raised my Sequoia 2 3/8" in the rear. I only have 3/4" left of down travel which is causing the shock to top out. I want to have custom shocks made for the rear but need to know how much down travel I should add in. Also understanding the limitations of the CV joint angle.

You will probably want to put your Sequoia on a lift, measure your shocks at full extension and then remove the shocks and see how much more travel can actually be had in the IRS. Likely, there won't be much more.

Don't forget to keep an eye out for ball joint bind as well.
