I translated "upgrades" from the OP as lift. It wasn't clearly stated but I thought the information could be useful. My buddy with a 100 series paid to have his AHC removed.

The beauty of a GX is it leaves enough money in the budget to buy an 80 series too (that's what I did)! If I wasn't one of the poors I would have probably found an LX or a 200 series for the wife.

True, no one was talking about 80 series or solid front axles... I was just joking about snobby anti-IFS folks.

Either a LX or a GX will be a good choice!
