Toyota

I have a roof rack and I use it, so by design Toyota should have accomodated a change in Center of Gravity. Let's say 1" lift...does that really change the dynamics of how the vehicle handles more than a lifted suspension?

Top Heavy to me means more weight above the center line than can be compensated for by what's below the center line. Most of the weight of the vehicle would still be in the frame, suspension, running gear, engine, fuel...etc. Or am I looking at this wrong because the suspension moves so off-kilter driving causese the Center of Gravity to be dynamic.


Good points about shearing bolts and possible added extension for the steering column. I didn't think about that one. I don't know if that piece comes with a 1" lift kit so how's it done?
