Lexus GX460

[RoughRider1944]

Hi,
Starting out a build of a 2011 GX460, base model.
This will be my everyday drive mostly, with the wife driving it too some; so a modest lift to increase some capabilities, but I want to keep a good driving/ride on road too. I’m interested in any anyone’s experience with the different lifts and shocks that you have tried, compared to factory handling and ride.

Any suggestions for sliders?

I’m also interest where inside you might have mounted phone or iPad holders for navigation.

Thanks,
John

I would go with the OME nitrochargers. They'll keep a good ride but also take a ton of abuse. I have an iPad mini 4 mounted on a ram mount tab tight mount. It works great because it doesn't shake when driving. Very solid.

Thanks, how do you have your Ram mount attached?
