Is it possible to lift the rear of a LC with AHC by 1/2"? Just looks like the stock settings make the truck look like it's sagging slightly in the rear.

Thanks guys
 
The ahc equipped LC doesn't have as much rake as a traditionally spring LC. If your LC is sagging in the rear, as in lower in back than front, then something is probably not right. I can scare up some info for you on that. (Mention (@...) me in the post, and I'll find it.)

If you are not dealing with something off in the system, you can lift the rear by adjusting the rear AHC sensor. Do a search for ahc sensor lift for more on that. I

Your pressures may be off if it is noticeably sagging in the rear. Get someone (or yourself) with Techstream to check it out. Your problem may lie within the AHC system itself
 
I'd find the specs on ride height for front and rear (measured from center wheel hub). Check the front and rear pressures with tech stream, adjust pressures via torsion bars and new rear springs if needed, then adjust the front and rear height sensors if needed (or replace if malfunctioning). Do you have a picture of the vehicle stance?
 
How about a side view of your 100 so we can see what rake you are dealing with? That will clue us all in to what the possible issue could be or even if you have an issue.

Yes, simple job to reposition rear, or front, sensors to adjust height. Attached is an LX height sensor adjustment procedure, the "to ground" dimensions are the same for an LC. If you don't feel like crawling around to measure the "to ground" dimensions then 19.75/20.5 hub center to fender is sufficiently accurate. The standard approach is: check/correct front side to side level; check and adjust, if necessary, front and rear neutral heights via the sensors and lastly adjust pressures to the neutral height via torsion bars and new coils/spacers if necessary. You need Techstream (or a gauge set) to do your pressures and read height sensor displacement feedback.
Heights first, then pressures - if you do pressure first then change heights you need to recheck/redo pressures again.

You'll want to add a spring spacer to keep part of the weight on the springs and AHC pressures optimal. Probably a 30mm spacer in this case.
