Expert Answers about Lexus LX 470
- Does Installing a Hitch on the 2003 Lexus LX 470 Require Relocating the 7 Way Connector
- Yes. You will have to remove and relocate the 7way connection on your 2003 Lexus LX 470 in order to install the Draw-Tite # 75095 since it will install in the same location. You can likely use some self tapping screws and the Mounting Bracket for 7-Way # 18138 to attach your existing bracket to the newly installed hitch, or you can fabricate something on your own.
When it comes to the spare tire, as long as your tires are not larger than the tires that came stock on the vehicle, this...

- The Draw-Tite Max Frame Trailer Hitch # 75096 is going to be around 17" from the top of the inside of the receiver to the ground-but this is going to vary depending on how much weight is in the vehicle and the condition of the suspension on your 2003 Lexus LX 470. It sounds like you're looking to tow a trailer with your vehicle, so you'll likely need some additional parts to give yourself a complete towing setup, like a wiring harness for the trailer lights, a ball mount and hitch ball....

- The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS78DR won't affect the ride quality of your 2004 Lexus LX 470
when you aren't towing - this is one of the great things about the SumoSprings kits.
SuperSprings says this kit is 11" tall so it depends on how much space you have between the mounting location and where this jounce spring makes contact with your vehicle. If you have 11" of space with the vehicle at the lowest setting then you'll be good to go. If it's less than 11" then you might...
view full answer... - Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2001 Lexus LX 470 with 4-Way
- The P3 Brake Controller part # 90195 is an excellent choice for a brake controller so you are off to a great start.
To convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install a brake controller all you would need is the part # ETBC7. This comes with everything needed so you would not need the other components you referenced.
I attached an install video plus installation instructions for you to check out as well.

- Free backing brake assemblies can be used on a trailer that has a reverse lockout. If it's a manual lockout they would allow you to back your trailer up at any given moment without having to get out and activate the lockout.
As long as your hub/drums are 10 by 2-1/4 the part # T4423400 for the right hand side and part # T4423500 for the left hand side would be a great choice.

view full answer... - Options to Add a Brake Actuator to an Off-Road Trailer
- As the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM8759422 uses a compression shock that is designed specifically for this, it will not be able to be replaced with a smaller spring. That being said, this is pretty highly rated for a 2,600 pound trailer. Unfortunately, we do not have an actuator like this with a lower rating at this time.
What may be a better option, will be to go with an electric over hydraulic actuator, like the HydraStar # HBA16, and then pair it with the Lock N Roll Articulating...

- I checked with Saris and from the hitch pin hole to the end of the shank on the Saris Swing Away Hitch Extender item # SAR36VR is 1-5/8". It looks like the Lexus receivers have 2" of space before you hit the spare so you'll be good.
view full answer... - Will a Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier Fit a 2004 Lexus LX470
- The warning is for the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier, # M2200, because there is only 4 inches between the center of the hitch pin hole and the nearest part of the carrier. Normally, to determine fit, you would measure from the hitch pin hole center on the vehicle, out to the distance required to clear the rear of the vehicle. Without the hitch installed, it is more difficult.
What I recommend is to err on the side of caution. What you can do is to use the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount, #...
view full answer... - Does Firestone Air Bag Kit Fit 2007 Lexus LX 470 with AHC Auto Leveling Suspension
- The Firestone air bag kit part # F4124 is a confirmed fit for your 2007 Lexus LX 470 and has no fit exceptions for versions of the vehicle that have AHC. It will work great with that system and would not interfere with it in anyway. The ride height changes your vehicle goes through with the AHC would not affect the Firestone bag.
Since the AHC works to level the vehicle if a load is detected you'd want to first put the weight of the trailer on the hitch of the vehicle and let the AHC...

view full answer... - Will the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack Work With a Rooftop Tent
- The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG217 has a 165 lb weight capacity. In regards to rooftop tent carrier compatibility, you'll need to refer to the rooftop tent manufacturer. Take the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent for Roof Rack Crossbars part # Y07436 for example. It has a 400 lb weight capacity but it only requires that the roof rack be rated for 165 lbs as it uses the integrated ladder for additional support.
view full answer... - Can Sway Control Be Used for Boat Trailer with Surge Brakes
- I definitely have a solution for you, however as you mentioned in your question a standard friction sway bar like the Reese # 83660 or a full weight distribution system that uses this type of friction sway control cannot be used on trailers with surge brakes. This is because the tension they put on the tongue will limit the movement and effectiveness of the surge coupler (and thus your braking).
With all of that being said, there are still weight distribution systems with integrated sway...

view full answer... - Which Roof Top Cargo Basket Will Fit a 1998 Lexus LX470 and Allow for Easy Installation or Removal
- The Thule M.O.A.B. roof basket # TH690 would work well for your 1998 Lexus LX470 SUV, as long as you have roof rack bars that run side to side, and they are not wider than 4 inches.
The M.O.A.B. cargo carrier features a very simple installation. To attach the basket to your roof rack, you would use the four two-piece mounting brackets. The brackets sandwich your roof bars, and are held together by two bolts with wing knobs, so they are easy to put on and take off.

view full answer... - Distance From Hitch Pin Hole To End Of Shank On Ball Mount For 2-Inch Hitch On 2004 Lexus LX 470
- I went to our warehouse and took a measurement of this ball mount for you.
The Curt Ball Mount, part # C45100 has a 6-1/4 inch rise or 7-1/2 inch drop and the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of the shank that inserts in your trailer hitch receiver is 2-1/2 inches.
On some vehicles you can loosen the spare a little and shift it away form the receiver. I am not sure if you can do that with your LX 470, but it may be worth checking out. If you can, then it may...
