Well I encountered my first problem with the Lexus. The truck airs all the way down to the bump stops if it has been sitting for a few hours. I did some reading and it most likely seems like a small hole in one of the airbags. I have seen talk that it could be a bad valve or the height sensors going bad but how likely is that?

Ill hit the bags with a soapy water solution this weekend. Also does anyone know of a good tutorial on how to replace the airbags?

Thanks in advance.

I was just reading the other day some one used slime tire sealant to fix the leak.

If you find the leak after spraying soapy water might give sealant a try. May be it will fix the issue.

Here is a link for the thread where i read it.

I had a slower leak than you do. Mine took a day or so to bleed down.


I found it by putting the suspension on H, turn the engine off. I then crawled under the car and could here the air pssssting out.


I did the airbags myself. Very easy to do. There are a lot of threads. Here is one.

Thats a neat idea. Only thing I am worried about is that slime fouling the rest of the system.

Ill try that method. Thanks.




Anyone have experience with Ebay bags? They sure save coin, but im not sure about quality (obvisouly not the same as OEM).

I used the Arnott A2466 bags on Amazon.

To the OP.


You can also do the air bag delete and scrap the entire setup. I did that as well as a mild lift. But you can just do the delete with no lift as well.
