Default any lexus techs?

I have a problem in my gx470's rear suspension. Its not the height sensors. It is bottoming out and feels stiff and heavy. What part or parts have you ever changed in the gx's suspension.

if youre having a problem with your suspension bottoming out its probably the air compressor. The height sensors do go bad but they will usually raise the rear of the vehicle to max not make it bottom out.

My compressor is working. I can see the height moving when I raise and lower the suspension. So it is definitely inflating and deflating the air bags. It just seems that the air bags are not strong enough to stop the suspension from compressing after a bump. Thus it bottoms out.

I have not had my driveshaft replaced yet. The clunking seems to have gone away for now. I think it is the cold weather.
