That is a great video! Rarely do I find a video that makes me feel like I know how to do the job as soon as the video ends. Well done.

Thank you so Much!!! I put 21” wheels on my LX470. I need it to be on Low setting for everyday driving so it doesn’t look too lifted. But when I go off roading and I put the 18” off road wheels and tires on… I need it to stay in high!!! This is the perfect solution!!!

Thanks. Just finished doing the same modifications. Was a little tight, but it works. Gonna be very helpful when trying to keep the truck low for people and the kids to get in and out !!!

In the video I keep saying "microphone cable" it's not. I believe it's the cabin temp sensor. Whatever

@funnyberger 2 жыл бұрын

I believe you are correct Thomas. I think the white ½ tube behind it actually breaths cabin air and is used to regulate temps. If left disconnected my understanding is that you'll lose climate control. It'll blow all hot or all cold. (Based on my readings of other's experience. I haven't forgotten to reconnect my tube. Yet...)

And if i want to low ..always lo..please help

@escapeartist7756 3 жыл бұрын

Excellent video. Have you tried driving on a smooth highway at speed in the low setting? Be curious to find out how that was. How much suspension travel is left on the low setting, at 2 inches lower than normal?

Thanks alot brother all the way from the middle east. I got my mechanic to do this and it worked 💪 😀

I have driven in the highway in low, it drove just fine. Just watch out for pot holes!

Great video. Is there any issue with driving it at full height at highway speeds?

@adamgaffney8863 3 жыл бұрын

Your CV angles will be steep and you can get excess wear or failure of your CV joints. A differential drop can cure the angle.

Lol I don't drive in high at highway speeds but I do enjoy flexing high around town

If I understand correctly, the switch is to turn the override on and off. If I were to just want the override to be always on, so I could manually set my height at will, could I just cut the two cables?

@tomaszzyzdorf9862 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah I guess cutting the wires would get you that

@cruiserboy811 11 ай бұрын

Hello I am wondering what are the benefits of driving on the high position over 20 miles per hour ! It improved your mileage ? Driving at high position for a longer period would make your accumulators worn faster !

No benefit, it just gives you the option

Does this work on all years LX470? Mine is a 2000, looks like a little older than yours

Just did the mod as described, no worries, it works. But what I also found is that it affects the comfort/sport settings, it doesn't work anymore, it's the same when on the hard or soft setting. Does not change anymore. Other than that it's fine. Do you find the same thing?

@tomaszzyzdorf9862 Жыл бұрын

I don't think I ever played with the dampening while in high and when in normal height I always turned the bypass off. I have since converted to OME/OEM land cruiser suspension.

@@tomaszzyzdorf9862 thanks for you reply. Okay just thought you might have come across it. I just got the vehicle and the mechanic that owned it rebuild the AHC before selling and put LC springs in the rear, a bit better for heavier loads, so no need to change it ...yet!? Works like a charm so far.
