Austin may still have them I'm not sure. I know I didn't bring them back with me after the install of my new suspension
Edit: ask Red I believe he's swapping suspensions soon

I still have them, pretty positive. but I would like them back, just in case I decided to revert, but I like your idea. Maybe we can work something out. Would you be willing to share the design so I can have a set made?

I wouldn't want to commit to sending them back mainly because I don't have a time frame on this, could be a week or could be a year. There are several guys on 120 who've done the swap, I'll check with them. If all else fails I will let you know and try to work something out.
If I'm able to make this work, I'll definitely share pics and whatever info I can. I think it will be easiest to build a spacer for the bottom of the air bag to avoid dealing with the air line at the top.
Thanks!

The RAS bump stops are 2" longer, so you'll have less up travel. New bump stops are around $70 from Toyota, these aren't required but is worth mentioning.
Are these the bump stops that are 2" longer?
I converted to rear coils recently and I used stock 07 coils. Now with my truck on level ground and no extra weight my axle sits 1.5" from this bump stop and it hits every now and then on rough roads. I'm going to get 1.5" Daystar spacers for the back but I'm thinking about changing those bump stops too if the RAS ones are longer. From the frame my current ones are about 5" long, would stock rear coil ones be 3" roughly?

Yes, the one in that pic is the RAS bump stop, sounds like the same issue I ran into. You need the bump stops from a non- RAS 4runner.

Ran into this, looks like a solid kit. I reinstalled the bags, but next time around I'm definitely going with this kit.

For now I'm content with tricking the sensors but 2 weeks ago I bought their "short" kit for down the road.

It's cheaper buying it like that since the OEM 4Runner isolators sell for $60 a piece: Toyota Part Number: 4830235040

Thanks for posting that, that's actually the one I meant to link to. I've already got the isolators from my previous swap, so all I'll be buying is the short kit.

Did you pull the sensors for the sway bar links? Once you disconnect those it will kill the system and flash the off light below the indicator.

There are two relays in the fuse panel under the hood for RAS, you need to pull those to disable the compressor. There's a harness behind the drivers side kick panel that can be disconnected to get rid of the dash light - don't recall which it is off the top of my head though.
i didn't pull the sensors i thought that if i left them in place i would avoid the light issue. so as it sits the light is not blinking but the compressor is running constant. the sensors were cooked. so i guess i will pull the sensors and the relays. am i missing anything else?
by the way i went with the metal tech kit with fj coils worked great easy install
just didn't know what to do with the compressor

I'll look on mine when I get a chance, but the MT kit came with instructions telling which harness to disconnect. I just followed those and no lights at all.
just found this image looking for instructions on a web site :biggrin2:
this is from the metal tech instruction
Disconnecting the Ride Control Computer, Fuses and Relay if you’re adding a lift to your GX470/4Runner.
3.1 Inside the engine bay you will locate the fuse/relay box on the driver side. One the inside of the panel will have a chart showing the location of all the fuses and relays. Locate the “Air Sus 50A” fuse and the
“Air Sus Fuse #2” and remove them from the fuse panel.
3.2 Finally you’ll need to disconnect the Ride Control Computer located in the driver side kick panel.
Remove the foot rest and pull back the kick panel. The ride control computer will be mounted onto the body and will be gray in color. Disconnect the wiring from the computer and reinstall the kick panel.
if i can figure out how to load pictures i will load all the pics that i took along the way
thanks again
