24 vs 25 OT OEM 1” Lift Details via reddit

Mine got pushed out too…I dropped the truck at my indy shop for install this week but he wasn’t able to get to it yet and I have the hood flutter “fix” scheduled for drop off Monday at the stealership, so I could be another week out or so.
My apologies
The install appears pretty straight forward in that the wire on the strut will pass through the nut after removing the protective harness cage that is around the connection. The video of the pre-load westcott lift on the tundra with avs shows the process.

Just got a note from my dealer that the new springs should be in in mid-June. I suppose I would have gotten them sooner if I ordered them elsewhere, but I wanted this to go through the dealer, both ordering them and having them installed there. My hope is less hassle later, but it may not help 
.
Want to hear from early adopters to see if it actually accomplishes our goal of a 1" lift.

any report by those who have the springs now?
What are dealers quoting to install?
Hi, don't know yet. I'll see when the parts arrive. I just hope someone who has them now gets them on and can confirm that they lift it up.
Bump to see if anyone who has the parts has had them installed?
You first
What about the Lexus dealer? Mine says they will install when they arrive, but haven't given me a firm arrival date for the springs.
$2k is offensive - but not surprising
Still waiting for my springs. It would as I've said before be interesting to hear from someone who has made the swap to see what they observe regarding ground clearance.
Mine is at the shop as we speak. Been a long couple of weeks waiting, but travel and life got in the way.
Good news is that I finally got my 80 sorted and she’s ready to go!

Cool LC. I have an old 1996 Series 80 I'm super fond of.
Did you measure your clearance before taking the GX in? Look forward to your report!!!
Thank you! Mine is a ‘96 also. My guy said he would take measurements on all four fender flares and both bumpers for me, before and after.
Where did you get your LC work done? I see you live in southern MS, where a school roommate I had many years ago grew up.
The body/paint/build out was done by a good friend of mine in West Plains, MO named Jason Harris at Ozark Overland Outfitters. My mechanical stuff on the 80, and my others, has been done with an another good friend of mine named Eric Gunther at Eric's Automotive in Pascagoula, MS. He was the master mechanic for nearly 20 years at the local Toyota store and decided to open his own shop a few years back. He's the only guy on the gulf coast that I let touch my trucks.
He just finished the spring upgrade on my GX550 and here is the outcome:
The measurements he took were from the center of the fender at each wheel from the ground.
Third photo is how sits currently and fourth one is the best photo I had of the side profile before.
