This is from the post from MTKID in the following thread started by DeckerT4R: LX570 AHC height modifications (lift it!) - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/lx570-ahc-height-modifications-lift-it.971211/page-10
"The part # for the front spacer is 43136-60020 from Toyota and I just used a 1” (30mm, technically) coil spacer for the 80, 100, 200 rear coil on mine, replacing the coil bumpstop at the top with it"
This seems to be the consensus after digging through the multiple threads.
I know this is a bit late, but thought it might help someone else looking.
Anyone have a part # for a rear spacer @ 10 or 20mm?

Curious for the rear coils after spacers, what bumpstop do you change to? Or keep it stock?
I left my bumpstops stock on the rear, haven’t had any issues yet. Went with a 30mm spacer on the rear.
Well guys, I may have screwed the pooch.
I just went to remove my PS front AHC sensor arm in order to use it as a template to build a new one with a wider range of adjustment, like this:
But when I went to unbolt the end of the arm that pivots on the AHC sensor (i.e. the end of the arm that is not adjustable) I turned the nut for a while before I realized the stud was just turning in the sensor. So I turned it a bunch, an unknown quantity of times, before realizing what I was doing. Oh fiddlesticks. So put everything back together, but it doesn't seem like it is bolted down firmly--like the stud was just spinning again. And now the front end (both sides) are stuck in Low. The dash says N, but it's definitely riding slammed in the front.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

there's 2 10mm nuts. You'll need to stick a 10mm open wrench in there (behind the bracket) to hold the second nut in place while you tighten the one on the outside.
Buy a used one from a wrecker. Get the part number off the unit and search the googles. Bits and pieces like this might get on to eBay, too.

Use two wrenches
Yeah, I got that. That's not my problem. What happened is I turned THIS nut trying to remove the sensor arm from the vehicle. It didn't loosen and instead just turned the stud in the sensor.
Did this break my sensor? I'm not getting any warning lights or anything, but the front suspension is slammed and wont go up.

The position sensor is on the other part of the arm, so you probably haven’t broken anything.
Did you unplug any connectors? Does your pump run? Have you unplugged the posit from battery for 20 min?

I didn't unplug any connectors. I think the pump still runs. I did not disconnect the battery, should I?
:edit: went for a test drive and the front suspension feels like its fully depressurized. At first it was just the front right, but then both front corners dropped down as far as they'll go. Still no flashing lights or warnings.
Tucked 35" lol

Hrmm. In all the installation and removal procedures, there's no messing with or calibrating that arm. Seems to be installed as part of the sensor. I'm surprised however it would just spin, and that the shaft is not keyed on the arm?
Here's the inspection procedure.
Looks like I misunderstood and thought you were on the slider adjuster side.
I suspect a new sensor is in your future.
Or some epoxy.

I suspect he broke whatever keys the arm to the wiper in the sensor. Wiper is probably just hanging at 6 0’ckock now.
you’ll probably have to take it apart and fix that or get a new one.
take lots of pictures either way.
Uh... what UCAs are those? I need.
Most likely painted billet icons
What's the consensus of running an aftermarket UCA on the 570? I'm running the Kenda 35x10.5s with the AHC adjusted and I've been dealing with issues of the tires cupping from insufficient camber adjustment to get a good alignment. Is this something everyone deals with to an extent or do I need to find a better alignment shop?
I was considering SPC UCAs but I'm also now considering Dobinson's.

It’s worked for me. I’ve run both Dobinson’s and now SPC (technically for a Tundra) and you’ll need to create a simple custom bracket for the AHC sensor to attach.
How much sensor lift are you running in front?
If you're in the extents of a normal sensor lift, that should be less than <1.75". Which doesn't require UCAs to get caster and camber in spec. I'm 30k miles into my tires and they've worn very evenly.
Can you take pics of your tires or describe more what you mean by cupping. Or find a pic online that has similar wear?
It can be alignment or air pressure creating the cupping so it helps to clarify exactly what wear you're seeing.
