Low mode lowers the front by 2.4 inches in the front and 1.6 inches in the rear. It will return to N when speeds exceed 7 mph*.

interesting side note:
When in 4 Low/Crawl Control, the vehicle may go into Extra High mode, which can raise it 0.8 inches, or higher in some cases. That's over the normal High setting. Speeds greater than 6 mph will lower it back to the regular High setting.

Speeds greater than 50 mph causes the suspension to lower in most cases (the front more than the rear for aerodynamics). Throughout road travel you will feel the suspension modulate. Oftentimes when stopping you will feel the rear come down, followed by the front.
you just gave a fantastic explanation. I believe the numbers you quoted are for the lx 570 ?

I do believe the height numbers are much greater for the lx 600, meaning the LX 600 goes much higher in the highest setting and it allows you to drive at higher speeds in the high setting.
