2024+ Lexus GX550 3" Lift Kit
Give Your GX550 the Stance It Should Have Had From the Factory
The TORQ ENGINEERING 3" Lift Kit gives the Lexus GX550 a stronger, more proportional stance while creating additional clearance for larger tires — without replacing the factory shocks or springs.
Designed specifically around the GX550 platform, the system uses precision CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum components to add lift while retaining the refined ride and suspension character that make the GX so good to drive.
Clean. Capable. Purpose-built for the GX550.
Why GX550 Owners Choose TORQ
Up to 3" of Lift
Add height, clearance, and a more commanding stance without replacing the factory suspension.
Retains Factory Shocks & Springs
The TORQ system works with the factory suspension so you can improve stance and tire clearance without completely changing the way your GX drives.
CNC-Machined 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum
Front and rear lift components are precision-machined from premium billet aluminum for strength, accuracy, and long-term durability.
No Spring Compressor Required
Our bolt-on design does not require disassembling the factory strut assembly, making installation more straightforward for experienced installers.
Designed Specifically for the GX550
Not a universal spacer adapted to fit. TORQ components are engineered around the suspension and mounting points of the Lexus GX550.
Premium Black Anodized Finish
A durable, corrosion-resistant finish provides a clean, factory-style appearance underneath the vehicle.

Limited Lifetime Warranty
More Presence. More Clearance. Still Unmistakably Lexus.
The GX550 already combines refinement with serious capability. The TORQ 3" Lift Kit builds on that foundation by giving the vehicle a taller, more confident stance and additional room for larger wheel and tire combinations.
The goal isn't to turn the GX into something it isn't.
It's to make it look and perform the way many GX owners believe it should have from the beginning.
Built Around the Factory Suspension
LIFT WITHOUT DISASSEMBLING YOUR STRUT
No spring compressor. No replacement shocks. No replacement springs.
One of the biggest advantages of the TORQ system is what you don't have to replace.
The lift works with the factory shocks and springs, allowing you to retain the ride quality and suspension characteristics Lexus engineered into the GX550.
There is no need for: replacement coilovers, replacement springs, or a spring compressor during installation.
For GX owners who want a noticeable improvement in stance and clearance without completely changing the factory suspension system, TORQ offers a clean and straightforward solution.
GX550 • WHEEL & TIRE FITMENT
Build the stance around the right setup.
A 3″ lift is one part of tire clearance. Tire width, wheel offset, alignment and suspension movement all affect the final fit. Use this guide to compare wheel-and-tire combinations before planning your GX550 build.
Fitment planning guide
These research-based combinations are starting points for an installer’s assessment, not TORQ-tested clearance guarantees. Verify the exact combination on your vehicle before purchase. This guide does not expand the lift kit’s model-year or trim compatibility.
| Tire size | Approx. diameter | Wheel / offset | Fitment considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| 285/75R17 | 33.8″ | 17 × 8.5 / +35 mm | 34″-class option A narrower alternative to wide 35″ tires. Confirm liner, wheel-opening and suspension clearance; modification requirements remain vehicle-specific. |
| 285/75R17 | 33.8″ | 17 × 8.5 / +25 mm | More outward stance Sits 10 mm farther outward than the same-width +35 mm wheel. Plan for liner adjustment and assessment of clearance near the rear of the front wheel opening. |
| 35×12.50R17 | Nominal 35″ | 17 × 8.5 / +35 mm | Wide 35″ build Requires a detailed clearance assessment. Plan for liner adjustment and wheel-opening clearance work. Confirm the tire manufacturer approves an 8.5″ wheel. |
| 35×12.50R18 | Nominal 35″ | 18 × 8.5 / +40 mm | Wide 35″ build Assess both inner suspension clearance and wheel-opening interference. Plan for liner and clearance work. Confirm the tire manufacturer approves an 8.5″ wheel. |
| 295/70R18 | 34.3″ | 18 × 9 / +18 to +20 mm | Aggressive 34″ build Front plastic trimming may be necessary, along with liner adjustment and assessment of rear wheel-opening clearance. |
| 275/65R20 | 34.1″ | 20 × 9 / +18 mm | Narrower 20″ option Test-fit the exact tire and wheel combination. Do not assume a no-trimming installation; clearance work may be necessary. |
| 295/60R20 | 33.9″ | 20 × 9 / +18 to +20 mm | 20″ wheel option Additional width affects clearance during steering. Plan for liner adjustment and possible front plastic trimming or wheel-opening clearance work. |
| 285/65R20 | 34.6″ | 20 × 9 / +18 to +20 mm | Near-35″ option Plan for liner adjustment and possible front plastic trimming or wheel-opening clearance work. Verify clearance through steering and suspension travel. |
| 285/55R22 | 34.3″ | 22 × 9.5 / +30 mm | 22″ wheel option Plan for trimming, liner adjustment and wheel-opening clearance work. The larger wheel diameter does not guarantee tire clearance. |
Metric diameters are calculated estimates. Actual dimensions vary by tire make and model; 35″ flotation sizes are nominal. Confirm approved rim widths, actual tire dimensions and required load ratings before selecting your setup.
Why offset matters
At the same wheel width, reducing positive offset moves the tire outward. Increasing positive offset moves it inward. Moving outward can increase rubbing near the body during steering; moving inward can reduce clearance to suspension components.
Changing the same-width wheel from +35 mm to +20 mm moves it 15 mm outward. Wheel width also changes inner and outer clearance, so choose tire size, wheel width and offset together.
Plan the complete setup.
A narrower 34″-class tire is a useful starting point to discuss with your installer. Wide 35″-class tires require a more detailed clearance plan. Neither category guarantees a no-trimming fit. Verify the exact wheel’s brake-caliper clearance, especially when selecting 17″ wheels.
Important fitment information
Clearance varies by model year, trim, tire brand and actual dimensions, wheel width and offset, alignment, vehicle load and suspension configuration. Liner or mud-flap adjustments, trimming or other modifications may be required. Check forward and reverse steering at full lock and through the intended suspension travel. Parked clearance alone does not establish full clearance.
Wheel-opening safety or crash brackets can limit clearance. This guide does not authorize removal or modification of safety-related components. Have a qualified installer assess the proposed setup and follow applicable vehicle and component instructions.
Professional installation and alignment are recommended. Confirm spare-tire storage separately and verify the lift kit’s current model-year, trim and suspension compatibility before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this lift kit fit the GX550 Overtrail and Overtrail+?
Yes. The TORQ GX550 Lift Kit is designed for the GX550 platform, including Overtrail and Overtrail+ models. Because factory suspension configuration can vary by trim and model year, always review the fitment notes before installation.
Does this lift kit work with E-KDSS?
Yes. The TORQ GX550 Lift Kit is compatible with E-KDSS-equipped models.
However, reinstalling and reconnecting the E-KDSS system after the lift can be challenging and may require extra time, patience, and proper vehicle support during installation.
Because of the added complexity, we strongly recommend professional installation for E-KDSS-equipped GX550 models.
Will my GX550 still ride like a Lexus?
The TORQ system retains the factory shocks and springs rather than replacing them with a complete aftermarket suspension system. That helps preserve the ride characteristics Lexus engineered into the GX550 while adding lift, clearance, and a more aggressive stance.
As with any suspension modification, wheel and tire choice can also affect ride quality.
Do I need new shocks, springs, or upper control arms?
The TORQ 3" Lift Kit is designed to work with the factory shocks and springs, so replacement suspension components are not required for installation.
Depending on your final ride height, alignment goals, wheel and tire setup, and how the vehicle is used, additional suspension components may be beneficial for some builds.
Can I run 35" tires with this lift?
Many GX550 owners use the TORQ lift to create room for larger tire combinations, including 35" class tires.
However, tire fitment depends on more than lift height. Wheel width, wheel offset, tire width, actual tire dimensions, trim level, and suspension travel all affect clearance.
For larger 35" combinations, minor trimming or additional clearance work may be required.
What is the difference between the standard TORQ Lift Kit and Stage 2?
Both systems provide the same lift height and exterior stance.
Stage 2 adds the TORQ differential drop system, which repositions the front differential to improve CV axle operating angles after the vehicle is lifted.
Same lift height. Same stance. Better driveline geometry.
Stage 2 is a good choice for GX owners who want the most complete setup and additional consideration for long-term front driveline geometry.
Do I need the differential drop?
The differential drop is not what creates the lift and is not required simply to make the vehicle sit higher.
Its purpose is to improve the front CV axle operating angle that changes when the vehicle is lifted. For owners focused on long-term driveline geometry, particularly on vehicles that see frequent use, larger tires, or more demanding terrain, the Stage 2 system is worth considering.
Is a spring compressor required for installation?
No. The TORQ system does not require disassembly of the factory strut assembly, so a spring compressor is not required for installation.
Do I need an alignment after installation?
Yes. We recommend a professional alignment after installing the lift kit.
Any time suspension ride height is changed, alignment should be checked and corrected to help maintain proper handling, steering feel, and tire wear.
Is professional installation required?
Experienced DIY installers with the proper tools may be comfortable installing the kit themselves, but TORQ recommends professional installation if you are not experienced with suspension work.
Always follow the supplied installation instructions and torque specifications.
Where is the TORQ GX550 Lift Kit made?
The TORQ GX550 Lift Kit is designed, machined, and built in Utah, USA using premium materials and precision manufacturing.
