Long time creeper on the site but my first real issue. Have seen a lot of threads about this issue but none match my issue. Driving home from co to AZ my airbags decided to deflate so pulled over and my height adjustment was stuck on N. Turned off the truck fired it up and worked properly the entire 8hr drive home. Fast forward three weeks later and it has started to do this more frequently, like 4-5 times in the last week. I’ve cycled from H-L-N but continues to deflate. I’m assuming it’s the ride height sensor but figured I’d ask you processionals. Any help/opinions would be appreciated.
Done, bags were replaced by Lexus of Scottsdale 3 years ago by previous owner. Visual inspection of the bags are great, never checked the lines though. As most, I’m looking to eliminate the electronic suspension completely. Knew this was going to be an issue on the horizon after all my research before the purchase just not this soon! Rather than dumping the time and money into resolving the revolving door of issues with the electronic system, my next question would be what’s the best solution.
Want to have fun in the mountains and desert but do not need these wildly expensive lift kits. Monroe conversion kit, bilsteen 5100, fj springs, icon, emu...I suppose I’m trying to say I’m looking for a “starter kit” but not a “Hodge podge” set up if that makes sense.
chip, if I gave you $1000 for parts, what would you do?

I only do mild off-roading so I'm not the person to ask.
I do note that the really extreme GXOR people are using Icon Stage 3 lifts with Icon upper control arms.

Is that what you consider "mild" off roading? That looks pretty badass to meOriginally Posted by chiph9

For 1k you can pick up a kit from Dobinsons. I heard great things about them. OME is another option however, they do run stiffer. I personal run Icons and its been good to me.

An open field is more my level.

Whenever I think of mild to medium off roading, this is what I think of.Originally Posted by shmeve
Mild to Medium is kind of the level of spiciness I’m looking for.
