I just got off the phone with Christo Slee, he was super helpful and put togehter all the parts required for $800. I couldn't ask for any better service. Thank you SLEE.

Slee is fantastic. No question.

I don't think you're going to get away with not telling us what's in the $800.

OE TBs, Rear springs, and new shocks with all of the retainers, bushings and hardware.

Thanks for everyones feedback. I'm not an everyday wrench turner but I'm certainly not helpless---appreciate the input and guidance.

We're a helpful set of MUD BUDS in these parts

I believe THE easiest solution is OEM LC torsion bars, springs, and shocks. I also subscribe to the KISS theory if that falls in-line with your thinking on this topic.

I just got my LX470 back after the LlandCruiser suspension conversion--what a difference it makes. I have ZERO regrets about swapping out the AHC--it rides like a new vehicle. I need to thank SLEE for putting the parts together at a reasonable price and for taking the call from my mechanic who wanted to make sure everything was done correct. SLEE took the time to walk him through a few things, so thank you. Alos, thank you to the guys on this board, your feedback was invaluable. Thank you all.

Do you mind sharing which mechanic you used for the suspension swap if you're in the NYC/tri-state area?
