Default Air Suspension 2012 GX460

How many inches will the gx travel from low to hi?
I'm not seeing any difference or hearing anything....
I'm sure it's user error.
Thanks!!

It's more than a couple of inches net. On high you should definitely notice a difference, especially coming from low, and vice versa. I can not only see the difference but feel the difference while it's adjusting. It should be noted however that it's only the rear height which is adjustable.

What is the procedure you are following?

Thanks Craigyyy,
It was of-course user error, it's working!
However, why only the rear?

Beats me! The impression I get is that it's intended to be more of a load-leveling device instead of a true adjustable ride-height system, i.e. more for towing and less for off-roading. It does give a slightly better departure angle but that doesn't come in handy very often.

Yeah, it's kinda sorta disappointing, after all the warranties and the truck has more miles, I'd probably like to take the air bags off and do a mild lift.....??
Would have preferred the LX470, but couldn't find one at the time of the purchase of the GX.
No complaints with the GX though!
