I've been thinking about the day when my rear air springs, or any other part of the $$$ AHC System, goes out.
I'm not interested in any lift, so I was thinking of using parts from the 4-Runner V-8, or the FJ Cruiser to convert the GX to a standard suspension set up.
Front Suspension:
1. Remove the factory struts, reuse the coils with new OEM struts from the 4-Runner or FJ Cruiser.
Rear Suspension:
1. Replace rear shocks with OEM shocks from the 4-Runner or FJ Cruiser.
2. Remove the air springs and install the Upper Spring Seats, with built in bump stops, from the 4-Runner of FJ Cruiser.
3. Install a custom made spring perch for the lower spring mount.
4. Install the rear coil springs from the 4-Runner, or FJ Cruiser.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
