Is this where you stay in high mode via a switch? Can I still run 33s?

The entire system can be left on the truck and reactivated later if one wanted to run conventional shocks. Cap the lines running to the (not) shocks and leave everything else in place. Disconnect the pump and remove the relay for the system under the hood (or under the dash, I forget).You bought an 06 with 50k miles, assuming mall crawler and not off-road? 33s fit stock in most cases it seems.
Dig through AHC posts, plenty of info on sensor lifts, etc. ABCs of AHC is a good starting point as well. Folks end up loving this system.
No AHC sensor lift is not the high switch mod. You lift the sensors on the underside of the truck. Here is that link
AHC Sensor Adjustment for Lift
Adjusting your AHC sensors are fairly easy :)banana: job). You'll need to furnish/fabricate a simple bracket extension which I'll cover in step 5. You'll also need one can of AHC fluid from Toyota $22/can. (part # 08886-01805). I have heard the exact fluid costs more if bought from Lexus. 1...
Iirc the AHC hard lines are installed before the body, so it’ll be a bear removing them to reinstall later. Could you cap and save maybe?
It’s not low miles but by LC standards I suppose it is.
Sage advice.I would absolutely not disable AHC for looks on an ultra low-mile 06 LC.
You can do a sensor lift to get an easy 0.5-1" of lift. More if you are willing to spend more effort on it. You'll worsen drivability with every bit of lift, so as a general rule you should run as little lift as you can stand. Aesthetic lifts are for bro-dozers. Embrace the factory stance and the superior handling that comes with it.
No, that would be the switch over-ride which is a fruitless mod, IMO. It disabled the speed input so the suspension system think it's parked. You lose most if not all of the dynamic response of the system. It affects much more than just height.
You can run 33's with nothing at all. I run 34's with more aggressive offset wheels and ZERO lift. 33's require nothing. 34's require very minor heating and pushing of the wheel well liner behind the front wheels.
Lifts do not allow you to run larger tires on the 100 series. At all. Not unless you're doing a HUGE lift, well beyond 2". The tire size is limited by the body points around the wheel near the axle height so lifting gets you very little difference in tire fitment.
Put a little work into maintaining AHC and enjoy it. Don't neuter it to pose in the parking lot.
Jack it up!
Lol. Id rather put a deposit on the new GX. Even with 250k my 07 LX AHC runs flawlessly. Ive spent more time replacing all the diff fluids than doing a full AHC tune up.
