Is the Arnott SK-2812 worth it over a dealer strut?

It costs far less than a dealer auto-dampening strut and bolts in without changes. You give up the electronic dampening, so the ride is firmer and simpler than stock.

Will it work with my GX470's auto-leveling system?

Yes. Arnott says the passive strut works with the Lexus auto-leveling system with no modifications. The auto-leveling hardware is at the rear, so the front swap does not affect it.

What years and models does it fit?

It fits the 2003-2009 Lexus GX470 front axle. It cross-references Lexus OE numbers 4851060121, 4851069195 and 4851069415.

Should I replace both front struts at once?

Yes. Worn struts are usually replaced in pairs so both sides damp the same way. Buying two SK-2812 units keeps the front end balanced.

One front strut with a black boot included. It is not gas charged and has no adjustable valving.
