GX470 suspension and wheel upgrade

Biker Eagle

Observer
Just got back after a test drive following the install today. Observations: 1) wheelwell clearance is now on par of what my FJ had. 2) some vibration at 1200rpm's and 30mph. hmm. (like drive shaft vibe) 3) some wobble at 60, just slight, as if my tires need balancing, (just balanced a week ago) 4) steering is more sluggish. 5) ride is just as smooth as before. 6) handling is firm and planted, more truck-like, with less body roll. 7) general road noise has increased some. I can tell there will be an onroad driving adjustment period, BUT, no doubt, offroad handling will improve substantially. The GX is officially no longer a mall crawler...a truck she is!

Dobinsons 2" lift and new '19 4RUNNER wheels.

Looks good...
What tire size?
Interesting about the sluggish steering. I did basically the same thing, and steering became a bit lighter and quicker. I did install new UCAs though, so my caster is different.

I installed a Ironman Foam Cell Pro kit and 285's a few weeks back and I too have noticed a slight harmonic vibration around 60mph. It definitely feels like a driveline vibe to me.
