97 Lx450 suggestions?
I recently regained custody of the LX450 that used to be communal property. It's going to be my weekend vehicle when I'm not driving my IS350. I noticed that it sways quite a bit at highway speeds, and I was thinking that a solution might be to switch the struts/springs out for some Landcruiser parts. Is this a good idea?
Also, this truck doesn't have roof rack, and I am hoping someone can point me in a direction for some OEM racks. I have Yakima towers, but I'd rather get OEM.
I'd welcome any input.

It wont be quite as soft of a ride as the LX suspension. Your best bet might just be some OEM shocks.
Be glad you dont have the OEM roof rack, it is known to rust where attached to the roof. Go with some gutter mounts
