Be careful with that installation of the airbag. It calls for a cut off isolator to be put in above the bag to protect it and give it a spot to push against the body.

Yeah unfortunately it looks like I shouldn’t have cut-off all 4 sections like the directions showed. Since the springs are taller than a stock 4Runner spring. So it looks like I will be buying new isolators. 
Here is how it looks, probably should have kept at least one maybe two of the sections. I am most worried about the bottom because the bag is just going to push against the top of the bolt from the MT spring adapter.

@Bluetribal How's the new Icon spring? Why the change? Just asking since I'm running 2" Radflo springs as well.
I thought I read somewhere that 2017 was the cutoff year, or 10 years after the sale of the vehicle, whichever is greater. I don't think the '08 and '09 GX's were part of the recall, however.
Haven’t tested them completely but was hoping they would make my ride better and feel less like a slinky. So I am replacing a piece of my used components at a time.
I didn’t like how much the rear end would drop, over an inch, just with a minimal amount of camping gear in it.

@Bluetribal Hey Mark, go to Home Depot and pick up a pair of these in the plumbing section. They fit over the MT spring adapter bolts really well and they are thick enough to not worry about the bolt penetrating. I havent finished my airbag install yet but I went ahead and test fit these a few weeks back.
Mark, did you plumb the airbags to the OEM compressor?
Nope I ripped all that crap out. I carry a CO2 bottle so easy enough to air up the bags anytime I want.
Let me tell you that was a Royal Pain getting all that crap out!

When I was looking to buy, all the stuff I read said the cut off to be on the list was 5/2017. You just had to get on a dealer's list before then. I bought mine in 11/16 and got on 2 dealer's lists in December and March(first dealer felt really shady, still never called me). I finally got the call from the 2nd dealer in July 2017 and got it replaced.
Scored some 17” 4Runner wheels for $50 each I believe the back spacing is less on these compared to the stock Lexus wheels. So that will be a bonus. But probably going to have to buy another 4 to get my spare 
Saw another 4 for sale on CL for $250 so maybe I will talk them down to $200 and try to sell three individually for people looking for a spare

Haven’t come across just one on CL
You can on eBay (see my link). You're just not getting them for $50/wheel like you're finding on CL.

Mark, thats what I did, purchased 2 sets, added the spare and two trailer tires. this summer the extra one will get used as a second spare for my Arctic Ocean trip
Yeah I plan to paint them like @GXLee did.
And I measured them today compared to the stock Lexus ones and they have about a 5” back spacing while the Lexus wheels have a 5.5” backspace so it will move the tires out about a half an inch.
@Scat Adams I picked up a pair of those 3” rubber plumbing caps

I think those wheels look really good in a gunmetal gray
