    Awesome video, when you say two turns on the KDSS valves do you mean 2 full rotations or just 2 socket turns ?

    How do you like them? I was looking at swapping out the shite factory sidesteps for 20 degree rocksliders from RCI. I may find it in the description after I post this, but are these bolt-on?

    I recently lifted my Lexus gx and it has the same kdss system. I now have a slight lean towards the passenger side possibly because i didn't open the valves. Yes im an idiot.. Its not that noticeable but its maybe about a half inch higher on the front and rear drivers side. How do i fix the lean? Would opening the valves and lifting the vehicle up then dropping the vehicle down and rocking back and fourth so it equalizes the hydraulic fluid fix the lean? Do you have any suggestions? I am also running the DR KDSS spacers and brackets but still leaning.

    • @jfriday1ify
      @jfriday1ify 2 месяца назад

      Pas. Side KDSS lean is very common. You can loosen the shutter valves and then just lift the pass side up and put pressure all on the driver's side. Then drop it and close up the shutter valves. I have seen about a 1/2" gain in the front from it. If it works then great, but otherwise adding a 1/4" thick lean spacer is a more perm solution. Plus using a spacer from the rear from cornfed spacers. When the lift is installed a true KDSS recalibration is done by lifting all 4 corners off the ground.

    I’m about to lift my 2012 4Runner Trail with KDSS using Bilstein 6112 & 5160. I’m planning on lifting it 2” in front and 1” in the rear, so it’s level. Just wanted to ask you before I do, will I require the KDSS spacers? And I see you did 2.3” lift in front, what was the lift height for your rear coil springs…1”?

    • @jdsmechanical

      You’ll be alright unless you plan on off roading, when you flex the pan hard bar will contact the KDSS sway bar in the rear

      I have yet to install spacers on mine. It does ride a bit firm without, and the rear track arm will make contact with the sway bar on full flex offroad. I have spacers for the rear, I will do an install video on those soon!
