2018 LX....really love this truck. Best vehicle I've ever owned. I'm wondering if anyone has done a mod to the lowering system / suspension to make it drive in the lowered position.

It does look good dropped but I imagine the ride would be horrible driving around hitting the bump stops.
I think it would require cracking the toyota Lexus ECU and reprogramming so that the suspension doesnt raise back.
I know historically was an impossible task. Perhaps there've been some advancements since I was more active in 2013.

Driving with bump stops in the way would be a big problem, effectively eliminating the great ride, and I don't want that. Back when I had my 03 LS430 UL, I replaced the air bag suspension with coil overs and it looked pretty stinking good, to me. The ride wasn't negatively affected but I had to change my parking protocol to avoid parking curbs. Outside of that it worked out really well. Too bad someone T-Boned me 6 months in and totaled the car.

How to rule the parking lot:
Use the Hi/Low lever switch to lower your LX and then engage the "Off" switch next to the Hi/Low lever.
Your LX will stay in the low position up to about 19/20 MPH.
Have fun.

Manual says 12mph, but my experience is 13-14mph is when it goes to regular height. Not sure about pulling fuses and messing with electronics is a good idea until someone actually perfects this or other remedies. But thanks anyway.
