So, has anyone dropped a set of these in a 120 yet?

2003 to 2009 LEXUS GX470 Base Height Adjustable Rear Spring from 1.8

I just ordered a mid-travel Fox Factory Race Series 2.5 front and rear from Accutune and I'm looking a rear coil kit option. I'll be towing (~250lb. tongue weight), so this looks like a great option in addition to the adjusters on the Fox shocks. With this system, I can adjust for the added weight, and also have adjustable height on all four corners, which seems like a big bonus as I may add a rear swing-out at some point. I'm leaning toward the +250 lbs. additional weight option because of towing and gear when traveling, but not sure. Not a ton of extra weight in back besides trailer, maybe 100 lbs., and in DD situations, there will be nothing in back. I'm guessing that the 250+ kit will help it get up a bit higher than the No Additional Weight kit. Any thoughts?

I was thinking of adding airbags for leveling when towing, but with the adjusters on the Fox, I may be able to skip the bags. The Eibach kit would replace any need for bags at all, though it's a bit more of a hassle to adjust for load with these than airbags. But these would give me more options for adding weight in the future without having to change out springs...

This is also a bit spendy, but cheaper than having to swap out springs later on when my configuration changes.

One thing I just can't figure is the call-outs for height adjustment for the 250+ kit say "For +0.5 to 2.0 in." of Lift with 250LBS of Added Weight" in one spot on the product page, and then it says "+1.8-3.2 in." for Rear height lower on the page. The options page (screenshot) says 1.8 - 3.2". Anyone in the know as to why the differences?

I wonder where it would sit with no load? I plan on 2.5" in the front and would like the rear to match. Do you think I could get away with the 250+ kit on the back, set all the way down, and keep it at ~2.5"?

Not sure if Tanner at Eibach lurks here, but I saw he's got a GX also, so maybe he'll see this and can shed some light also.

I have the zero added weight version installed for a few months now. Install was fairly easy, comes with everything you need. The chart you posted shows lift heights, heavier kits absolutely are higher(until you add weight I assume).
I have mine set on lowest setting, and front Eibach shocks on the 2” clip and truck is pretty level. Tanner is here and will hopefully chime in.

Forgot to add, bumpstops are badass

Sweet. I was wondering if the GX kit came with the new bumps like the 4runner kit.

That’s a really solid looking spring setup. I’m liking that they’re using the Racing springs for these kits.

Any idea if you could fit the Toyota OEM cone-type isolators in theses springs?

Sorry, no idea on upper isolators, I just used the pieces that came with Eibach kit. There is a top piece, but it’s just kind of puck shaped as I recall.

Ordered. Backordered till end of July.

Just called Eibach and they told me that the OEM isolators won’t fit, because the inner diameter of the springs are smaller. Shouldn’t matter because they’re providing new bump stops also.

Also the differences in height on the website for the 250+ kit supposedly are for zero weight added (1.8-3.2” lift) vs. 250 lbs (0.5-2.0”), even though it misstates the “1.8-3.2 with 250 lbs. of added rear weight.”

The guy I spoke with said he has the 250+ kit on his 4Runner with no extra weight and it rides great, so it sounds like this should be the perfect application for me too.
