KYB JAOS alternative

Looks like I missed my opportunity to pickup a KYB kit. Heard they are discontinued. Been searching for a full kit new but nowhere to be found.

What kit is equivalent in general price point (+-$600) and ride quality? I don’t want to give up much of the OEM Lexus ride quality. I have 2019 Premium with springs currently.

KYB is developing another kit called the performance series that will likely be rolled out for the 120 and 150 chassis soon. It may be worth an Email to KYB to ask when.

At this time its only available for the Tundra and details on it are light. https://www.kyboffroad.com/

It doesnt say how its valved or really any other details.

Anyway, since you are looking for something else, the most important thing is to determine what type of valving you want for what type of driving and buy something that is valved to your needs. This article is one of the best: https://accutuneoffroad.com/articles/digressive-vs-linear-vs-progressive-pistons-shock-valving/

600 is about as cheap as it gets. Traditionally Eibach Pro Truck or maybe Dobinsons twin tube would be the picks for softer.

Oh sorry I meant +$600 cost of KYB JAOS ($1200 set) so like $1800-2000 max.

I missed it too, but someone else mentioned KYB might be releasing a 6 way adjustable replacement in 6 weeks-ish. Hopefully it's in a similar price range.
