Elka Suspension 2.5 DC Final Impressions on My GX460

[@ToddSaw]

I bought a 2017 GX 460 yesterday so this series has been very interesting to me. Nice job on the rig!

What a beautiful GX and suspension. Tandem Offroad is a North Texas institution; keep up the great work.

how does it compare to a lifted 2nd gen sequoia?

I’ve been looking at an upgrade for a while and remember your other video introducing the ELKA DC’s, thanks for the follow up. Few qs. 1. Do you have the rear air suspension on your GX? If so, were you able to maintain with ELKA DC or would one have to delete? 2. What size tires do you have and did you have to cut any trim to support it? 3. Is it a full 2.5” lift or can it be reduced? 4. With the lift do you feel any less stability on turns? Btw nice air! 1:17

Just saw all the mods you had to do on the 35s. Another fun video but I guess 35 is out for me since it’s also my daily driver. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIDYeXmBm7ljqcUsi=p6LfZ1xnHNoZ_kU6

1.So mine does not have the Air Ride in the rear, Typically we do eliminate them for Models that do have the air suspension and do a coil conversion, I haven't seen maybe GX's that have air ride and they maintain the airbag system. 2.35's is more of just me always wanting the most i can get although the required amount of trimming to get 35's to some what clear is pretty excessive on the 460 and i still rub in certain situations. Running 33's is fine and it will still be plenty capable 3.Because of the spring set up in the rear you have to do a 2.5 lift unless you find a lower height lift spring in the rear then its possible. I will say i have found that doing 2 to 2.5 inch lift gives the best performance in articulation when it comes to the 150 Platform. 4.As far as lack of stability....No she feels really planted and that is also thanks to the KDSS system. I feel comfortable exiting on wide turns off the highway. That being said lifting any vehicle you are raising the center of gravity and it does make it susceptible to roll over on the a extreme moose test.

Did you put any Dr KDSS parts on with this lift?

[@chopperpl]

Did you guys have a chance to compare those Elkas to Dobinsons MRAs?

[@mindcraft1701]

Great vid love that jump, smooth landing. I’m moving towards 460 myself. What’s the total cost for parts for the Elka suspension upgrade?

[@TandemAutomotive]

The DC are the top of the line when it comes to Elka suspension systems. Send us an Email to [e-mail] and we can get you a quote together.

Are you running -10 offset wheels without spacers?

[@TandemAutomotive]

They are Method 312's with -12 offset no spacers

[@worldofru725]

What rear springs did you go with?... what dose Elka offer?

[@TandemAutomotive]

I went with the ToyTec RCC2.0HD's, its recommended if you have the third row still to run the HD's gives a better ride and keeps the back from bottoming out too much.

[@worldofru725]

@TandemAutomotive good to know. Excited to start my build, judging on your content and your online store, your a one stop shop!. 🍻 cheers.

[@TandemAutomotive]

@@worldofru725 Absolutely let us know if you need help with anything!
