Product Information
Overview
This opens up the possibilities to lift your vehicle with several rear spring choices. If you are fortunate enough to own a totally sweet Toyota 4Runner or Lexus GX460 / GX470, one of the premium options these Prado’s came with was the Rear Adjustable Height Control (AHC) air suspension. Really cool tech, but not without its issues. The AHC system uses airbags for the rear suspension in place of coil springs.
So, while AHC is cool when its new and works, it’s also a financial nightmare when there’s a problem or the airbags need to be replaced. The OEM airbags are extremely expensive. So much so, you can buy an entirely new IRONMAN 4X4 performance suspension kit with the IRONMAN 4X4 Adjustable Airbag Delete kit for less money than the cost of two new OEM replacement air bags!
IRONMAN 4X4’s engineering team developed a more reliable and cost-effective solution, the Adjustable Air Bag Delete Kit. It’s super easy to install, comes with clear and easy to follow instructions, is bolt on and requires no welding, cutting, or modifying any OEM parts on your vehicle.
The kit’s custom drop-forged aluminum spring seats were made to cradle the coil in perfect position to soothe away any annoying squeaks and creaks. The coil springs are as happy as a chubby 4x4 baby in a muddy diaper. (Aren’t crawling babies technically 4x4 too?)
The adjustable threaded body of the EDP-coated steel base bolts securely into place on top of the rear axle. Once secured, just spin the drop-forged aluminum spring seat down onto the adjustable threaded base and set it to your desired ride height. These allow for over 1 inch of adjustment. Also don’t forget, these Adjustable Airbag Delete Kits are great for eliminating the dreaded “Left Hand Lean” found on USDM vehicles.
This is why having a solution to adjust your rear suspension is such a big deal. Until now, coil spacers could get you close, but now you can get it dialed in perfectly!
Once you have the spring seats installed, lock down the provided set screw (so they don’t accidentally get bumped out of position) and install your IRONMAN 4X4 coil springs. Don’t forget to drop your cone isolator bump stops into the top of the coil springs. These cones are a secondary bump stop and they help locate the top of the coil spring into the upper spring perch of your truck.
That's just a quick run-down of how the Adjustable Airbag Delete Kit works but make sure to reference your instructions during the install. If you do have any questions, reach out via email, live chat, or phone. We have a great crew of folks waiting to help.

"I took my time to remove the existing airbag set-up incase I need to re-install install them for some reason. The installation of the delete kit and 1. 5 inch light stock load springs was pretty easy. I had to disconnect alot of the break line attachments so I could depress the rear end enough to slip in the delete kit and spring assembly. I have the threads adjusted to 3/8 inch from the top and the SUV is sitting 2 inches higher than it was with the airbags (rear is higher than the front now). I wanted to drive it like that a few weeks to see if it drops any and if not I will lower the adjustment pucks down all the way. So far I like the ride and the feel of having a spring which does not let the SUV sway and have a bouncing feel like it did with airbags. I moved my son back to college this past weekend and loaded up the SUV. The rear end did not drop at all it seems and the ride felt great. Overall I am very pleased with the airbag delete kit and 1. 5 light stock load springs I have installed."

"The kit and 1. 5 coils have made our GX a great ride again!"
I really like the design
"I really like the design and fitment but the parts I received were dirty and dinged up. The lower adjustable spring perch needed some filing of the threads in order to thread properly."
Q&A
- Possible this is a fix for the bouncing in my wife’s 08 gx470 that started happening overnight?
- This kit is used for converting and replacing your rear airbags to traditional coil springs. If you have some bouncing issues you may have some worn out shocks that need to be replaced.
- Is the ADJUSTABLE REAR AIRBAG DELETE KIT SUITED FOR LEXUS GX470/GX460 campatable with other spring manufactures. I want to up grade my existing suspension.
- It creates a spring seat just like the stock axel. So any rear coil that is designed for the stock Toyota axel spring seat will work.
- When will these be back in stock?
- Back in stock now!
- What is the recommended coil size to maintain normal ride height for a 2008 Lexus GX470 to use with your airbag delete kit?
- This is highly dependent on your additional load in your vehicle. All of our coils will give some lift and will support additional weight for the GX470. Here you will find all of our rear coils for the GX470: https://ironman4x4america.com/suspension/coil-springs/?_bc_fsnf=1&sort=pricedesc&Make=Lexus&Model=GX470&Rear+Springs%5B%5D=Medium+Load&Rear+Springs%5B%5D=Light+Load&Rear+Springs%5B%5D=Heavy+Load
