Hey everybody! So happy to be here as I'm a lifelong Cruiser and LX fan! We purchased our first Cruiser in '89, I was 8 when my dad and I drove from Bartlesville, OK to Lawrence, KS to pick up the rig (1 mile on it) and we had that until my sister totaled it in 2019. Had 357k miles, original engine and tranny. Mom also had a '96 LX450, and a 2003 LX470. So I was thrilled to buy my wife a 2013 LX570 a few years back with 145k miles, one owner, and serviced at the Lexus dealership in Knoxville.
We love the vehicle, it's the first large SUV that my wife actually enjoys driving in. But it seems as if the ride quality has diminished a bit over time in the past few months. We did put BFG KO2s on it in the summer of 21, it appears as if the tread is still fine on these. We are nearing 180k at the moment, no other issues or complaints other than we have noticed the ride quality decline a tad.
So my question is this: When, if at all, should you consider replacing the shocks on a LX? And should we consider servicing the AHC as well? Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
