Default Lowering kits?

Just got my 04 GX470 and really like it! Anyone know if there is a lowering kit for it? I would like to have it ride 1 1/2 to 2" lower. I would still like to be able to access the height control feature, however.

Thanks!

I have seen range rover lowered and I think they look pretty cool until you hit a bump and the suspension bottoms out. The only way I think you can lower the GX is by adjusting the height sensor in the back to fool the air bags that the ride is too high then you can source a shorter spring that can fit the front.

I have seen japanese Land Cruisers with a after market controler which over rides the air bags so you can have them set to the lowest even when running.

When I was younger and had a 20k car I did all the lowering, NOS, rims stuff. Now that I have a 50K vehicle I would not consider it. I think this would mess up the ride considerable and would not recommend anyone to mess with it. Just my .02
