Thanks for the update. Sounds like you made a good decision. I’ll definitely keep this option in mind when I add the bumpers and winch.

Looking forward to your review. I’m Considering the same bumpers and know I’ll need to upgrade the suspension to handle the weight (plus the @Airdowngearup drawer system and the tongue weight of our camper).

The outlet doesn’t have enough power to run a refrigerator, especially when it cycles on. I run mine off of the 12v socket (power cord running to the front) until I can run a dedicated circuit to the rear.

Great feedback, thank you. I hate to abandon the stock suspension but i bought the GX to tow our camper into the backcountry, so as you said, “what the hell.” We don’t get to take our money with us so we should do what makes us happy while we can. I’ve been talking to Dissent Offroad because...

Great points. Horses are like water. They don’t react well to sudden movements.

Just to be clear, my GX is an Overtrail and is rated for over 9,000lbs. You might want to check the load rating on your tires, and make sure you’re not exceeding the GVWR for your Lux +. I towed our camper with a Tacoma with a 6,500lbs towing limit, but I added airbags and heavy duty leaf...

Bendou, I tow a Kimberley Karavan that weighs approximately 5,000lbs when loaded. The only time I’ve had issues with swaying was when I had the hitch too high and it was extremely windy. I tried the Timbren “helper springs” that replace the bump stops. They were great on the highway, but I...

We tow an off-road camper that is similar in weight when fully loaded with gear and water. The GX tows it amazingly well, including on some tough 4x4 roads. I added Timbren SES bumpstop helper springs for a recent trip. They were great for the highway and smooth dirt roads, but they were pretty...

How did you get the 25 springs?

How flexible are they? I don’t want to bust them off when I’m going off road.

Do they have them for the front as well?

I need flexible flaps front and rear for off-roading so they don’t get ripped off. Both rear fenders are covered in rock chips from the front tires.

They posted an install video on their YouTube channel. I’m hoping the link I posted works.

I went with @AirDownGearUp and I’m really happy with the setup. The drawers have a lot of capacity, and I chose to include a drawer fridge. There is no way I could have built a system of this quality for the price. The bed platform makes a great loading area as well if you’re not using it for...
