Lift kit was installed by CNC Off Road. CNC Off Road used the Metal Tech rear coil spring conversion kit. I was expecting a 2" lift,, but the final lift turned out to be more like 3.5" due to the height of the rear coils supplied in the Icon kit. I'm NOT complaining! The GX now rides the way you'd expect a vehicle with a 3.5" lift to ride. Handling is surprisingly good, but the steering wheel does not return to the neutral position the way it did when stock. The ride height is perfect - eyeball to eyeball with the F150's. Potholes and railroad tracks - they are not there anymore.

Removed the air suspension relay (located next to the main under hood fuse box) and the "TEMS" 20A fuse under the dash. No codes no warning lights!
