    Love my JBAs, but agree with @SearArtist , overall, the red color is not very attractive. With yellow OME suspension and a blueish/gray truck color, the red UCAs definitely stand out.

    For those that got the 2" OME kit with metal bumpers front/rear, did you go with the medium load spings? Did it end up being level?

    Also, did you get the full 2" lift and what size tires are you running?

    I just emailed @BudBuilt and they said that they do not currently make a front skid for KDSS equipped models. They also have no plans on producing any in the near future. If they get more interest, they could potentially have them available with at least a 6 month lead time.

    Glad they responded to you, my email was ghosted. I even offered my GX as a loner for however long they would need it...I'd rather support local since they are legit 30mins up the road from my house, but guess I'll shop elsewhere...

    Edit - Hell, I didn't even ask for free shit or a discount (though I would expect to get something out of the deal for lending my vehicle for a month or two)...

    Victory4x4 makes skids and sliders that are KDSS compatible, but I don't like how the sliders look and you have a drill holes in the frame for self tapping bolts on the driver side.

    Be mindful that while folks do make skids for KDSS, no one makes them that will allow clearance using the Treaty Oak spacers which fix KDSS lean.

    RCI is close to clearing I believe, still need to :sawzall: though

    I may end up going with their sliders in Al. I have no real reason to need heavy ass steel.

    Looks good but the cracks will continue and get broader over time, it’s just a temporary bandaid.

    tinting the windshield will help with blocking the UV that expedites the cracking. Gonna have Xpel Prime XR Plus put on all around.

    also I park in the garage at my house and in the shade at work

    get ceramic, whatever you do.

    Our 460 has Suntek CIR and it's awesome, but the XPEL stuff I want is supposedly the top of the line new hot shit...

    It looks really good. I thought about doing this at one point but I have no idea how a layer of glue over top the crappy vinyl is going to fare in the event of an airbag deployment. Would worry me that the area would be reinforced and not allow proper deployment speed or something. In actuality the glue is probably like a sheet of paper to the airbag but idk.

    Anyone here added a Prinsu/SSO/Victory 4x4 rack? Trying to find the added height of an installed rack

    Doing the napkin math on whether a 2.5 lifted GX with 265/70/17 tires would fit in a garage with one added.

    Edit: SSO actually lists their's at 2 3/16", Victory says "roughly 2.5in "
