Any suggestions/recommendations for suspension with 3rd row seating. I got stuck with 3rd row and the air suspension which comes with it. What are my options?

Your options are H&R, AC Schnitzer, or KW Coilover. From Cheapest to the most expensive setup.

Initial thoughts - very comfortable ride with very little body roll. I'm currently on the middle rebound setting and 2-3 full threads from the lowest setting. Also sitting on 22" wheels, wrapped in 295/30/22 square setup.

Rebound setting was at 7 out of 14, and when going over bumpy freeway at high speeds it was uncomfortable, so I lowered it to 5. Seems to have made quite a bit of difference. Overall, really happy with these coilovers, would recommend. The biggest difference is when taking turns and corners - you can go way faster.

Running KW V3 coilovers, and 20MM H&R Spacers in the rear - I have room for at least 10MM more - maybe if I can find some wider tires (22" tires over 300 are hard to find and expensive)

What are your offsets?
I am running 22x10.5 +35 offset and i'ts perfect for the front with 295 tires without spacers.
Also where did you get a 30mm spacer?
