This thread has some tips for rear shock replacement.
Lx570 Rear Suspension Rebuild [Guide]
So I decided it was time to refresh the entire rear suspension on my 2010 LX. I'm the third owner, figured it would give me an opportunity to learn its quirks. This job sucks, and the FSM feels like a bit of a letdown with this job. Good news is the right tools make for an easy job. Oh, and...

Curious to hear what you did with AHC.

Have details of all the parts you used for the suspension swap?
finished wiring up dual redarc bcdc and dual battery. Hooked fridge and “testing” it
I did go through it, but it that bolt below the hydraulic hoses is insanely difficult. At this point I may just take it to Lexus dealer and asked to be charged labor for just removing them. I am sure they have figured it out, will then put on the rears at home. Putting them on its not hard, its that damn bolt for the AHC shocks within this fitting to clamp AHC hose.This thread has some tips for rear shock replacement.

Taking it all off. Already disabled it. Mine was already due for a change and prefer these to AHC.
Give Ben a call at Filthy Motorsports. They have this process down, and can get inventory. Mine are custom valved for my vehicle weight. He is incredibly detailed in the whole process and very knowledgeable. Look up his suspension comparison on youtube. Cheers
Not too far! Why you know how to take off rear shocks??
Is that front receiver hitch welded on your ARB or is it incorporated into the winch/fairlead mounts? I assume a custom job? Never seen a front receiver hitch on an ARB.

Happy to see another with the AHC delete. I ended up buying a 22mm offset wrench from harbor freight and cut one end off of it to be able to remove the top nut off the rear stock shocks.
It’s just bolted to the bumper where the winch would be bolted on. I’ll post some additional pics tomorrow.
Went to visit Peek-A-Boo Canyon in Southern Utah about an hour north of Page, AZ. What a place and the family enjoyed our time exploring. If you head out AIR DOWN!

Didn't have any money left over for decent beer?
For sure… let me know when you are up this way.Righty tighty lefty loosey, right?
Just pondering a ride in a kinged out LX.
although, probably best in a month or two. The process with Filthy Motorsports to dial it in starts now, springs settle then need to make adjustments.
Turbo8 you inspired me on this one! Will try your tactic. Cheers
