OK..as you guys stated, find out if the springs on both SWB and LWB (non-air) have the same part number. If they do, it is the same. BUT Ive called my dealer and the guy doesnt even know what I need to find out 
Is there an OEM parts website that can pull both SWB and LWB spring part number?

I thought each car would have its "specfic" weight based on options, etc. So I was wondering if the 4332 lbs of the LWB is assuming air suspension components or not? I was trying to see if the number would be even less than 88lbs difference so the OP would have a better comfort level installing the Tanabe's. 88 lbs is certainly not enough to worry about in my mind, but if it is less, its just more gravy on the fried chicken
Based on this parts list, it appears there are no differences in strut mounts or anything like that from a SWB and LWB with NO air suspension installed. I did a search and it lumped the SWB and LWB in the same category and only calls out air suspension pieces within the diagram

Thanks for the recommendation of an installer but unfortunitely, Im in Southern California.

Can you look at your driver door jamb label to provide your vehicle weight? I can look at mine for my swb so we can compare total weight difference and figure this out and you can enjoy this Tanabe goodness too. I don't believe there is a difference in strut setup either. Maybe compare spring and strut oem part numbers between a swb and lwb. That would be even more good data to have
My LWB door jamb label states:
GVWR 5445lb
GAWR FR 3130lb
RR 3130lb
how does this compare to yours?

Ok, so guess what? My numbers are exactly the same!!!! Either Lexus is putting the weight as the max weight the LS460 vehicle regardless of body style would ever be or there is something I am not understanding about these door jamb labels.
