Lexus GX460 Rear Coil Conversion – Stage 2 Kit
Airbag Delete | Designed for Lift Kits or Customer-Supplied Springs | 100% Bolt-On | Made in USA
Eliminate Your Rear Airbags — The Right Way
This Stage 2 kit is for Lexus GX460 owners who:
- Are installing a rear lift kit
- Already have aftermarket rear springs
- Want to select their own spring rate or ride height
If your GX460 has leaking or failed rear suspension airbags and you plan to run a lift spring, this is the correct conversion kit.
Everything needed to remove your rear suspension airbags is included.
Rear coil springs are NOT included in Stage 2.
What Stage 2 Includes
- ✔ CNC Bolt-On Spring Locators
- ✔ CNC Machined UHMW Spring Tail Isolators
- ✔ Patented Key Cones (Dual-Rate Secondary Springs)
- ✔ Complete hardware kit
- ✔ Install guide and video support
- ✔ US-Based direct support from the inventors of the GX airbag conversion kit
This is the engineered mounting system that properly converts the GX460 from airbags to coils.
Why Choose Stage 2?
The Lexus GX460 is heavier than the same-year 4Runner platform, and suspension choices matter.
Stage 2 gives you the flexibility to pair this airbag-delete system with:
- Aftermarket lift springs
- Performance suspension systems
- Custom build configurations
Whether you are building an overland setup or simply upgrading suspension, Stage 2 allows you to run the rear springs of your choice while still using the properly engineered conversion system.
Patented Key Cones – Included
Toyota calls them “secondary springs.” Many conversion kits ignore them.
We don’t.
Key Cones were developed by Metal Tech 4x4 in collaboration with the #1 polyurethane suspension manufacturer in the United States over a three-year engineering process.
- Dual-durometer high-performance polyurethane
- Soft initial engagement
- Progressive lower body for end-of-travel control
- Increased suspension stability
100% Made in the USA.
Protected under US Patent No. 11,691,473.
CNC Machined UHMW Spring Tail Isolators
This is where many conversions cut corners.
Polyurethane isolators can be too soft and allow the spring pigtail to crack over time. Aluminum provides no vibration isolation and can introduce corrosion between dissimilar metals, accelerating wear on the spring.
We machine ours from UHMW — the same material used in orthopedic implants.
- Full pigtail support
- Vibration isolation
- No cracking
- No metal-to-metal contact
- No corrosion issues
- CNC machined in-house
This ensures your chosen spring performs properly.
100% Bolt-On Installation
- No drilling
- No welding
- No permanent modifications
Remove your rear suspension airbags. Install the locators and isolators. Install your rear springs. Pull the suspension fuse.
Estimated install time: 2.5 hours
We provide full install documentation and video guidance.
