yes you can trick the OEM suspension to think the car is regular height by shortening the height sensor links. be warned, doing this will shorten the already old and dying air suspension components, bags, compressors, etc.

and yes to access the rear towers, the back seat needs to be removed.

Tim is totally right ^.

Your old suspension will definitely blow out shocks over time, but this doesn't mean you can't do it for a quick fix.

Datasystems is a company that produces a controller for the LS, that other members have used before. As said, just be prepared for blowing your shocks, make sure to drive at about stock height, park slammed. All good.

Maybe filling the floor with about 8 inches of concrete or more, will accomplish messing it up and slamming it all at once.

just disconnect the sensors from the arms and it should pretty much mess everything up!
