    Shocks for a lifted 100

    I had the AHC removed by Slee when I bought my 2000 LX470. Lexus estimated $3600 just in parts to fix it. Good thing I had a $3000 repair credit from the dealer. I had Slee put in the OME 1.5" lift medium suspension with diff drop and SPC UCAs ate my $3000 credit but well worth it. The...

    Toyota Dealer refused to flush AHC system on 2001 LX470

    Since when is a Land Cruiser that retails new for almost 90,000 a jalopy?

    Toyota Dealer refused to flush AHC system on 2001 LX470

    You might try a Lexus dealer. All the LX470s had AHC i believe

    2004 LX470 Sudden Spike In Fuel Consumption?

    My LX470 gets about 15 mpg, highway, around town at 9000 ft or down where I live at 6000 ft elev, doesn't seem to matter. Not great but consistent. I would check your spark plug wires make sure (no kidding) it's firing on all 8 cylinders.

    Persistently rough ride

    Or you could borrow my 56 Dodge Power Wagon for a week. I'm sure your 100 series would feel pretty smooth after that lol

    Persistently rough ride

    Do you have the stock shocks on, or did you replace them with OME? If you're using OME shocks they're the culprit. Switch to OEM, you'll lose nothing but the headache.

    What is the best, most complete AHC replacement kit on the market?

    Slee is fantastic. No question.

    What is the best, most complete AHC replacement kit on the market?

    I had Slee replace mine with their 1.5" OME Medium lift kit with SPC UCAs and a diff drop. I would highly recommend that except would go with stock OEM Landcruiser (not LX470) shocks. It will be very capable off road and ride really nice around town.

    Dobinsons IMS Shocks - Land Cruiser 100 Series and Lexus LX470

    I did, it definitely rides better with all four the same :)

    OEM Shocks vs. Bilstein

    I had the Slee Med 1.5" lift kit on my LX470 (AHC replaced because it was broken and way too much money to fix). I started out with the OME Nitro Sport shocks, they were really harsh, comparable to my 56 Dodge Power Wagon with 13 leafs on each corner. I went with OEM and they were great, but...
