I like the way you said, people on GX forum more consider about other people and their opinions. I dont like when people using

without even saying why.

Seems to ride as well as it did with the stock tires and wheels. These tires are very quiet on the highway. I like them.

I like your to be different, you never mention how did you 2' lift. DO you still have air susp? Is it stiff?

It rides like stock. For the rear all I did was move the sensors and the air ride adjusted just fine.

To tue eyes of the beholder, they must be gr8. Good job on the height adjustment; wheels a little 'blingy' tho.

22 MPG??? You must turn engine off at lights and coast in neutral. I don't think anyone here can attest to that number. Someone chime in and tell me what I am doing only getting 17.8 if I am lucky.

With stock wheels and the Volant intake I could get 24 mpg on the hwy on some trips. 20 mpg at 70+ mph on the freeway easily done.

Those days are over with the now big and aggressive tires.
