"What did you do to your..." thread?

Last year, I bought a set of springs, struts and shocks (non-airbag model) from a new Black Line (take-offs for their new off-road stuff) from a member here and had them installed by pros as well. Mine had about 145 on it when I did that. Had not noted any spring or ride issues with it but figured it was the thing to do at that mileage. My 13 has almost 160 on it now and still rides as good as my wife’s newer one. One would never know they were in a ride with nearly 160 on it unless you looked at the odometer. I did have them add a 1/2 inch level to the front to help the stance a bit as I run 275/65/18 K02 tires on it.

Got my front OEM struts installed today along with new strut mounts and new KDSS bushings for the front. Wow, what a difference. I wasn't aware how badly my GX drove until getting these replaced. Very happy with how it rides now and the place that did the work did a great job.

Installed the panhard correction bracket from Dr. KDSS. Now the bar is within 1 degree of level. Didn’t have to use the top mounting hole, I guess that would be for bigger lifts. Haven’t noticed much of a difference yet, but only just put it on.

Very harsh on bumps, dips, expansion joints, etc. Even with the new adjustable KYB shocks in the rear, the old fronts resulted in a very uncomfortable ride. This was mainly noticeable on the freeway but even around town it was noticeably bad. In hindsight, I should have probably replaced them 20k ago.
As it stands now though, it just soaks up bumps and roadway imperfections and is a real treat to drive!

Avoided the interstate and cut through West Virginia, went past loads of flooding rivers, saw the Monongahela National Forest in great detail, went to a town that only had regular octane gas and got to the New River Gorge only to find the snow and fog so dense, one could not see the gorge… now time to get it cleaned up.
