maXpeedingrods Rear Air Suspension Spring Bags for Lexus GX470 2003-2009

They updated the product. Looks pretty good and comes with a nice enbosed sticker. Also comes with o-rings and retaining clips now. unfortunately I was sent the wrong instructions. Note the o ring packs into the valve on top of bag followed by the white plastic sleeve then another o ring. then the white clip aligns to the holes in the opening.

I've had these on my GX for 4 years, 50k, and have had no issues whatsoever. I have taken them off-roading at Uwharrie and towed a 3500 lb boat. Definitely worth the price difference compared to OEM or Arnott replacements.

It was very easy to install on my GX470. Good quality and came with all you need for installation. Should come with the o-ring installation procedure using the old fittings. I did it perfectly, but if you don’t know you will have a lot of headache.

Replaced my dry rotted OEM air springs(2006 GX470 78k miles) with these after the originals began to leak down overnight with cold weather. Just like other reviews state, the factory clips that come with these are too small, so carefully pry out the originals from your existing air springs and re-use them. Not a big deal by any means but worth mentioning/knocking down a star. The plastic/composite construction of the new units is probably better in my opinion as the factory springs were quite corroded at the top hat area, which won't be an issue with these. After installation ride quality has improved substantially, much more taut and controlled over bumps. After ~1200 miles of driving these seem to be working perfectly. I will update my review as I go, but so far so good. Installation took about 1 hour without removing wheels, and simply jacking up the rear end. Definitely have a set of LONG needle nose pliers(straight/45 degree curved) and some hooks/picks to get the air lines unhooked, extracted, and reinstalled into the new air springs. UPDATE: 10/2024. Almost 30k miles and a couple of years later these are still doing fine. UPDATE: 10/2025. Nearly another 15k miles on these with no issues.

Instalation was a pain, etire asambley is plastic all air line connections are plastic, I had original and aftermarket they were metal, After mechanic installed it it holded for 1 day and in the morning air was out, do not know what to do bags are already installed, mechanic labor 400$ spent and no result.

They come with O-rings and the internal clips, but not the outer clips. I found it very hard to remove the air lines from the original ones, because they are made of cast iron, and rusted badly. These are made of plastic, and unfortunately there is a problem with their mold. Where the air line goes into, is not round. I used a good, sharp 5/16" drill bit and turned it into the hole by hand with a pair of pliers. That fixed it to fit the O-rings and air lines. Be careful not to drill the hole deeper. It pays to be vigilant. Other than that, they seem fine.

The air springs I received are different from the ones pictured as of 1/28/19, the photos show a stamped steel construction, the ones shipped to me were a plastic composite construction. They installed without issue and were left and right specific, not universal. So far these have been holding pressure over a low temperature night, something the originals could not do anymore. Ride seems to be as good or better than the originals.

These actually worked for our 2003 Lexus GX470. A bit of a job, but not too bad, a few hours. Hardest part is getting the clip off and back on the tops. But once installed, had to activate the button on console and set height to high and they pumped right up, and then selected low and then center height, all worked and no more leaking down!

This product was a very easy replacement with zero issues so far. The air inlet lock needs to be installed with it and is not pre installed. Make note of which way the seals, lock and bushing come out of the old one and replicate the same order in the new ones.

Seem good quality for the extremely low price. Fitted to a 2005 landcruiser LC5 prado as rear suspension kept dropping. When removed old bellows were cracked. Fitted these to replace. Originals have a metal seating boot on the bottom whereas these have a thick plastic/rubber. Fit perfect and the ride is much more composed at the rear. Only thing to note ( as other people have in their reviews too ) is the plastic clips to go around the outside of the bellow from the air pipe don’t clip too well so used cable ties to hold tight, probably more to do with the old plastic... Suspension system no longer looses air. So far so good.

المنتج ممتاز ، اتمنى ان يصمد في مده الاستخدام بعد التركيب قد لايعمل مضخه الهواء يحتاج الى تشغيل طبلون السياره وضغط8 مرات على الفرامل وتشغيل السياره مباشره سوف يعمل وترتفع السيارة ( برادو vx2006)

!!SEE PHOTO'S BEFORE YOU BUY !!Disappointed in the qaulity of this product.

The bag is a cheap but effective fix for the one side bag that blew, I only changed the one side and the fitting at the top inside had to be changed with the original bag fitting otherwise the line would not go in at all. It's been on approximately one year now and all is well, smooth sailing.
