Will 2004 Lexus LX 470 SumoSprings Affect Unloaded Ride Quality

Published 08/11/2022

Question:

Will these springs be touching when in normal setting with the factory hydraulic suspension? I do not want to affect the normal ride when not towing. I also need to be able to lower the vehicle to its lowest setting with the button on the dash for when my wife goes to the grocery store. Will these helper springs allow the stock systems lowest setting? Thanks

The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS78DR won't affect the ride quality of your 2004 Lexus LX 470
when you aren't towing - this is one of the great things about the SumoSprings kits.

SuperSprings says this kit is 11" tall so it depends on how much space you have between the mounting location and where this jounce spring makes contact with your vehicle. If you have 11" of space with the vehicle at the lowest setting then you'll be good to go. If it's less than 11" then you might still be good to go since these will compress but it does depend on how much less than space would be.
