2014 Prado 2" lift Query

Just got a 2" lift in my 2014 Prado and really happy with it.

Im not sure if it is me being paranoid, but when in D and the gears are changing automatically, it does not appear to be as smooth as before. Not to the point of clunking through them but thought I would ask, does a lift effect the gears?

No but the way the shock load is transferred through the chassis may feel different given the change of tune of spring and shock.

Spencer what are your heights? Measure from rim lip to guard F & R and side to side and post up the measurements. If the rear is too high you can get some vibration through the drive line because the joint angles are getting too high. Typical value for a 17" wheel is 820 - 830mm. Add 12mm for 18s. Front around 790 - 800. Higher you start to put the CVs through too much angle.

mrandom. I will get back to you shortly with measurements. The shop took them at the time so I will track them down.
