front coil springs and top hats/strut mounts.

Choose the Fully Assembled Struts option for a complete pair of ready-to-install front strut
assemblies.
Each assembly includes a new replacement strut, new front coil spring, new top hat/strut mount, and new bushings.

Why Replace the Factory Lexus Electronic Struts?
The factory Lexus GX470 and GX460 electronic front struts become expensive to replace as the suspension ages.
This kit eliminates the electronically controlled front struts and replaces them with a simpler,
non-electronic suspension system.
The result is a reliable front suspension with excellent ride quality, lower long-term replacement cost,
and easier future servicing.
The replacement system uses the factory mounting locations and does not require permanent modification to the vehicle.
The conversion can be returned to the original electronic suspension configuration in the future if desired.

Complete Front & Rear Suspension Package
Looking to replace both the front struts and rear shocks on your Lexus GX470 or GX460?

GX470 / GX460 Replacement Front Strut & Rear Shock Kit – Comfort Ride Plus
Compatible with the Metal-tech 4x4 Stage 3 Rear Coil Conversion
These front struts work directly with the Metal-tech 4x4 Stage 3 rear air suspension conversion kit.
The Stage 3 conversion eliminates the aging factory Lexus rear airbag suspension and replaces it with
custom US-made coil springs and our in-house CNC-machined mounting system.
The Metal-tech 4x4 conversion maintains Toyota-standard spring mounting dimensions, allowing future suspension
upgrades and lift components to bolt into the vehicle normally.
Metal-tech 4x4 GX470 Stage 3 Rear Coil Conversion Kit
Want to Level Your GX470 or GX460?
Lexus and Toyota designed the GX suspension with the rear of the vehicle sitting slightly higher than the front.
For customers who prefer a more level stance, the OPOR GX470 / GX460 front leveling kit works directly with
these replacement front struts.

Installation
Any qualified automotive repair or suspension shop can install this kit. No Lexus-specific suspension tools
or electronic suspension programming skills are required.
The Fully Assembled Strut option provides the fastest installation because the new coil springs,
top hats, bushings, and struts are already assembled. Remove the original front strut assemblies and install
the new complete assemblies.
The Replacement Struts Only option requires the original or replacement coil springs and top hats
to be installed onto the new struts before installation.

with a non-electronic system. Installation disables the electronic front suspension function when installed

to manufacturer production updates. These cosmetic differences do not affect fitment or function.
