3 INCH LIFT ON LX600

[MPTank]

I was able to lift my 2024 lx using brackets I made. It is 2 inches over stock in N position and 3 inch over stock in the H1 position. I keep it in H1 all the time. The AHC on the 300 is different from the 100/200 in that it will stay in H1 up till 62 mph then go down to N above that speed. Once you slow down to 52mph it automatically goes back to H1. AHC lift is N->H1(1 inch lift over N)->H2(3 inches over N). You can ride in H2 up to 32 mph. I made these brackets and used the Stock 10mm bolts to attach. In my opinion, to do this 100 percent correctly, I'll look into shock extensions like they made for the 100 series (to bring shock travel back to stock), LC300 adjustable control arms (for camber), and maybe rear springs (to keep AHC pressures in Factory Spec). Not sure if this is the correct way to lift the AHC but love the look and functionality. AHC is an amazing system and glad I got that feature on my LX. Would love any advice to I'm not doing this correctly. My measurements were from ground to fender.

Here is the shock extension brackets from the 100 series AHC. Forgot I bought them years ago. I hopefully can use these to design ones to fit my 300 AHC shocks

Looks very nice.

That's cool! I see you are looking to use those shock brackets....I was wondering how the ride feels now. 50-62 in H1 for me feels like the truck is on four leaf springs.

THIS IS THE CONTENT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!

Thank you!

Its floaty, but very comfortable to me, but I come from 80 series. I think its butter smooth compared to my old 80. I keep it in comfort mode and glide along the hwy. I did test the system to max at 5 inch lift in N mode and that had no compression in shocks and felt like leaf springs to me. For me the KO2's made bigger difference than the lift to ride comfort.

It doesn't feel far off from my lc250 on 33s. Both feel like traditional Land cruisers with the float. I went conservative on the lift in N mode to keep the somewhat "Lexus" comfort.

There is a guy with a killer LX in the 200 forum who designed and manufactures shock extensions for the 200. They might work for you. Check them out!

Rear Shock Spacer | E&E Off-Road

+Next batch will be back in stock mid-late June* If you need to limit your bump travel to fit larger tires, these will allow you to regain your full travel by allowing additional droop travel. Includes the following: Shock spacers for both sides Grade 10.9 mounting hardware You must do or supply...

It's pretty crazy how even with a 3" lift it still looks lower than most American OEM height trucks on the road.

What’s the purpose of the shock extensions?

What’s the purpose of the shock extensions?

It will allow more downward wheel travel as the shocks are closer to the middle of their range range.
