Good write up; I'll probably look into this sometime over the next few months.

Hey RCsGX:

Do you have the Toyota part numbers for the flat panel and for the bin that can be used in place of the GX470 comfort setting panel on the console???

Icon coilovers are getting installed Monday, so no need for the GX panel anymore. (My Icons will not the remote reservoir adjustable type like yours - just the standard 2" lift style.)

Yep, the Toyota part number is: 58839-60020

I'll put the other part number w/ pics here too just in case anyone else needs them when doing the conversion.

  • 58839-60020 blank (approx. $10)
  • 58839-60040 pocket (approx. $12).

Nice, you'll be amazed at how well they ride compared to stock. Post some pictures when you get everything done.

Hey I know you said you're going w/ 17" FN wheels but I forgot what model you were getting? And did you get them yet?

RCsGX:

Thank You! Thank You!


Wheels are the Konig Six Shooters in gunmetal.
Have the wheels and tires. Just waiting for the Icon stage 2 lift kit install to be completed. Truck is at the shop now. (Using the Metaltech rear spring adapter kit)

Thanks again for the part numbers.
I was able to order a blank cover from mylexusparts. Seems both covers were used on the 1998 - 2002 LX470's.

I am hopefully getting ready to get some ICON's on the front and back and getting rid of the airbags too, what does everybody do to disable the stock shock and airbag wiring? I don't want lights on the dash to be on
Thanks
Seth

Pull one relay and one fuse. Water proof the removed connectors and plug the air lines.

Hi RCsGX, may I know the version you used is extended travel or non extended? Can I put it on my GX but keep the stock ride height because I want to keep my stock rear set up? Thanks.

you want non extended travel then for stock height and yes you can adjust the coilovers to sit at stock height. for extended travel, you will need aftermarket upper control arms and will only be useful with a lift.

If I assume correctly you are referring to the front setup, I thought the coilovers could be set to either Lifted or Non-lifted ... is this required to know when ordering? I ask because for my front setup I'd like to remain 'stock' height right now but give a lift at a point of my choosing, without have to buy something again.

For the rear Bilstein 5100 he used, I also have the understanding a specific part number has multiple settings for either lifted or non-lifted.

you can use extended coil overs with the stock UCAs, you just wont be able to exploit the "extended travel" aspect of it. and if you are staying stock height that is not a issue.

@Fluid
The coilover height is set by adjusting the coilover spring ring with the supplied tool, so that is up to you how much of a lift you want.

@GreatHim
Icon recommends against it specifically to not run stock UCAs with extended travel. The extended travel is in the down travel, so even at stock height, when the suspension droops down, the stock ucas will not take the extra downtravel and wear your stock ball joints down very quickly if you plan on any offroading.
