Does this thing have the adjustable hight control? It's looking great! Also curious if having the bumpers so close to the body will cause rubbing while the frame flexes.

 

[PhatFJ]

Just got the roof rack installed..

No, I removed all the stock suspension when I installed the lift. I have the Metaltech bumpers on my other GX and although the clearances on this one are a bit tighter I don't think it will be a problem. We'll see .. the good thing, if it is an issue, I can change it..

Can't wait to see them sliders on.
