Default Lift time

hey guys,

time to lift up the GX, the rear air suspension is giving me grief and rather than mess around with it i figure ill just jump in and convert.

Im thinking of getting this kit from OME as well as the spring isolators and such from metaltech.

any thoughts on this? would you go a different way? i am having trouble deciding between the heavy and medium.
Truck is stock as of now but will be adding bumpers and such in the future. so debating on putting up with a somewhat stiff ride for a year or so.

thanks,

I was considering OME medium but I heard its pretty stiff. Maybe it wouldn't be a problem for you since you will be adding more weight? I ended up on Icon since I can adjust the front coil over if I needed to compensate for front end weight in the future. I went with the SSO rear conversion kit since they have spacers in case I needed more rear lift. Just something think about.

I went with Toytec 3” lift. No issues. Not really that stiff, kit uses Bilstein 5100’s.
