Airruner has a bolt on kit for the RX. It costs a pretty penny though, about
4K or so but anybody with airrunners will tell you it is well worth it

oh..

the rx on airrunner's site isnt that great. it jus like lowers it. if i put bags i want my car to look "dumped"..im guessing that means what i really want--the wheels inside the fenders. i dont want a lowered look, i want it to be so low that the rims go up into the car haha, not just lowered..any easy was to fix that or w/e?!

You probably need to consult an air suspension fabricator in your area to achieve the stance that you want. Most SUVs are not made to be lowered on it's frame. There might be parts under the truck that might hang lower than the frame itself. Other issues like shorter struts, control arm and wheel well modifications might be needed to get the truck all the way down.

very true .. those kits don't go that low ...at all ... esp from what seen


Hmm wonder how much chopping those springs would help ? if you want a DUMP , Not safe though ... maybe even bouncy

on the other hand you can be a hero and get something created for all the other High stanced rx' ;P

what about skipping the 'dump' and putting on a lift and some 35s?

jk if you could get the rx real low it would look killer

don't laugh to hard at the lift comment, a buddy's x5 is sitting on 44s....

i take corner's quickly as it is, raising it up would not be logical. especially in fl where the tires wear so quickly..

yea i guess you're right about hitting the ground. well i dont think that i need to make it touch the ground, but if the wheels went into the fenders id be so happy

ill consult someone around here haha..

yeah i figured. he needed his truck up for getting around on the ranch its funny as heck seeing his x5 when its not on the ranch.

i went out and looked at my friends rx i think you could get it pretty dang low changing out the shocks for shorter ones and a nice set of springs.
