Got the rears installed this morning.
Took about an hour without removing the wheels... (bit of a pain but take your time, you'll be fine, the front bolts are tighter to get to). 12mm socket with 9" extension for removing worked well. 12mm ratcheting box end wrench was helpful for install. (same one needed for gas tank skid). Reused the OEM bolts.
Checked the air suspension level settings. No range of motion limitations on Lo. It does ride on the Timbrens on low though...
Theres about .75" clearance to the bumpstop on neutral height setting. (Stock bump stocks this gap was roughly 1.5")
Will check everything torqued correctly still in a few weeks when I do undercarriage fluid film.
Thanks guys for all the input. I think most ppl here are satisfied with Timbren. Switched from a 2014 BMW X5, the most complained difference from the wife was the accerlaration and the handling. I can't do anything about the accerlaration, but I think I might have found a way to improve handling. I hope the Timbrens could make our 2020 Gx to have better handling and less body roll around the corners, and we don't tow anything. Since I missed the BFD sale, I will probabbly wait for the Boxing Day to make my purchase.

My wife has noticed the speed bumps aren't as harsh when she doesn't / refuses to slow down for them. That's about the extent of their benefit for our use but alas, that is why I got them so for me, they're doing the job. I have noticed when I drive it in certain situations they are helpful according to my gopro camera on how often they come in to contact on our typical around town driving. I could see them being a major benefit for offroading, hoping one day to validate this belief.
The Active Offroad ones are great ... cushier than the standard.
Timbren website video is saying active ones are good for only offroad. Ses and Active are designed for each purpose.
According to Acrad experience he feels SES/standard version is good even for unloaded and also timbren website also says.
i am looking for the version which can handle towing and also articulate more during empty loads.
After seeing nuclern8 experience looks like active offroad seemed to be better in handling?
ASE, please update your experience with the active offroad version, so it will be helpful for us.
May be I will order Active offroad version for the rear first. (FYI i tow a 5000 pound travel trailer often)
Thanks.
