Since I do a lot of towing and imho Toyota/Lexus often have a tongue weight issue. I have been on the lookout for lift springs for a while now. Finally found Northwoods Performance and opted for the 1" lift springs. Installed in the car and definitely raise it 1"+ because I had to extend my air bag lines. The car doesn't really look taller unless you really take a look at the difference in wheel well gaps. I'm hoping this takes care of a lot of the squat the car experiences while towing. The springs around supposed to be around ~10% stiffer as well. Taking the camper on a week long trip to the Smoky Mountains this week so I'll report back on how the springs did.
Picture is on stock springs with airbags, will take updated pictures with the new springs once I leave for the trip. FYI, nx has tow package, and have been towing campers since 2018 without issue.
Seems to me like a decent upgrade. northwoodsperformance
Was in the market for new coil springs front to back, (10' Rx 350 as 250k km on it), and one of my rear shock gave out, (It seems to be a defect that was fixed on newer model)
How is the ride after all this time?

No issues with the kick-sensor in back for the handsfree lift? I know there's a workaround to install tow hitch and keep ability of kick-sensor, but can't remember. Or maybe there is no issue...

Awesome -- Great to hear there's no issues!!
I was wondering about a more bouncy ride with being lifted an inch?

no bouncy ride since they are slightly stiffer springs, i don't have a kick sensor so not a problem for me.
Thanks you for your insights, will definitely get my hands on these.
Was planing on having the sumo spring as well but will wait and see how it is without first.
