It is well known that the GX470 is an up and coming 4x4 platform that is now within the price range for a lot of people. Being aware of the rear air bag suspension and the downfalls that it has we decided to come up with a coil spring conversion kit to get rid of the air bags and switch to a traditional coil spring that the FJ Cruiser and 4Runner platform uses. We have seen other conversion kits out there but felt that they weren't close to what Toyota had designed. Being very familiar with the FJ Cruiser and 4Runner (they use the Prado 120 platform) suspension set up we developed this kit to be as close to factory as possible. Starting with using the Prado 120 secondary spring isolators and then using the polyurethane spring tail isolator that has the built in ramp to conform to the spring. We then have a spring locator that bolts onto the axle housing to help keep the spring in place if it were to come loose. This kit is 100% bolt on and requires zero modification.
This kit is designed to be used on your stock GX470 using factory coil springs from a 4Runner/FJ Cruiser or to raise the rear end 2-3" to match the lift in the front.
