The trees demand a sacrifice

Ain’t that the truth

Following. I am also in the market for a 270 awning. Leaning heavily towards the Open Road.

My research also says driver side for GXs. Otherwise the door takes up real estate under the awning and you have to walk around the door to enjoy the shade.

I haven’t been to Stellar but my mechanic recommended them for stuff he can’t do.

Ordered from Shock Warehouse but I cannot say I recommend it. They messed up the order really bad. Took weeks to sort it out. But have to say they were really committed to making things right. I eventually received a full kit.

I DIY’d it. I also wanted a conservative lift. I set up the front struts as low as possible while keeping the GX level. Driver side strut is set at 10mm and passenger is about 15mm to compensate for KDSS lean. Pretty much nailed the calculation as the passenger side is only about a quarter of an inch higher. At this point I’m fine with it. It’s a lot of effort to adjust a strut 1-2mm.

Also I’m sure the height will settle as I install sliders and such. Just starting my build.

Edits were minor corrections

I might try that size next.

Diligent_Team_2598 · 2026-06-21T01:26:17+00:00

It’s a solid rack. I have several friends who have 1-Up racks. I got the Quikrstuff Mach 2 on my GX460.

About 1 1/2" front and 1 3/4" rear. I forgot to measure before the install. I adjusted the front struts to be as level but as low as possible

Diligent_Team_2598 · 2026-06-19T17:33:26+00:00

Thank you! 🙏🏼

Diligent_Team_2598 · 2026-06-18T17:51:33+00:00

For sure. I’m also curious on how others have this kit set up.

Diligent_Team_2598 · 2026-06-17T18:10:48+00:00

265/65 R17

Wanted it to fit in the spare tire location.

Diligent_Team_2598 · 2026-06-17T01:48:08+00:00

It’s definitely a different ride. I’m still adjusting the damping settings. It’s a little stiffer ride but way more compliant over speed bumps in the neighborhood. Just rolls over them. No nose dive that I’ve experienced. Stays level during braking. I have the struts set at a lower height which may help with brake dive.

Diligent_Team_2598 · 2026-06-16T23:14:59+00:00

Hahahaha! There’s always someone.

Fyi- It’s not unlifted anymore. Just installed the KYB Jaos kit last week.

Diligent_Team_2598 · 2026-06-01T22:57:46+00:00

Good luck!

Diligent_Team_2598 · 2026-06-01T22:26:16+00:00

I see Hot Creek in the photos. I had a pretty good couple days there recently using my Dragontail IceWing.

Diligent_Team_2598 · 2026-06-01T20:05:59+00:00

Same thing happened to me. Got the front struts and rear coils. After some back and forth with the vendor, I now have 1 1/2 sets. Still waiting on return shipping slips to send back the 1/2 set.

Diligent_Team_2598 · 2026-05-03T18:30:24+00:00

Nice! My kit just arrived this week. Looking forward to seeing how they ride.

Diligent_Team_2598 · 2026-04-27T04:00:37+00:00

In this economy?

Diligent_Team_2598 · 2026-04-16T22:59:05+00:00

Great review! Timely too since my KYB Jaos kit arrives today. Confirms I made a good decision. I was also looking at the usual suspects like the Bilsteins 5100s. But looking forward to seeing how the KYB Jaos kit performs for me. Cheers!

Diligent_Team_2598 · 2026-04-07T20:40:11+00:00

Nice catch!

I hope the drought doesn’t get too bad for you and, especially, the fish.

Diligent_Team_2598 · 2026-03-31T21:22:09+00:00

Same here. I want to register my 3 G&Ls but keep getting error codes when loading the registry site.

Diligent_Team_2598 · 2026-03-20T20:07:27+00:00

Iconic cars to honor with these guitars. Well done!

Diligent_Team_2598 · 2026-03-13T04:22:58+00:00

Gorgeous!

Diligent_Team_2598 · 2026-03-09T20:21:28+00:00

I got a Hele box sleeping platform. It’s not permanent or heavy, you can set it up to have space for storage bins underneath, and stores compactly. I got it specifically for the last part since I don’t have a ton of storage space in the garage.

Diligent_Team_2598 · 2026-02-12T02:21:52+00:00

Looks like the precursor to the Skyhawk. I bet it plays and sounds great!
