- Installing lift on my 5th gen 4runner with KDSS. Lifting your 4Runner increases ground clearance, room for larger tires and it just looks good.

Thanks for watching!
Bilstein 6112s in the front set to 2.3” with additional weight springs.
Bilstein 5100 in the rear with additional weight springs.
Awesome video for us KDSS folks thank you !!! Haha literally lifts his rig solo while filming the whole time .. someone get this guy a beer 🙌🏻 🍺!
Thanks man! 🍻
Best video I have watched regarding lifting the Runner with KDSS!! 👏🏼 good job!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you for the information. Definitely saving this video.
you can release the pressure on the kdss system, you just cant release it all the way or els you would need to bleed it. makes everything 10x easier. more movement
this is the most helpful video for suspension install on kdss 4runners. Thanks again to the author for making this and posting it!
Great video joe
I'm saving this for later. Thanks bro!
Awesome video, when you say two turns on the KDSS valves do you mean 2 full rotations or just 2 socket turns ?
Did you need to use a KDSS spacer anywhere after the lift to equalize the lean or was there no issues ?
I second this question. Still waiting on my dobinsons to come in, but I bought the DR KDSS bushing bracket, billet clamps and end adapters for when I out on the lift.
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!
Do you happen to recall what position you set the 6112s at?
great video! Which skid plates are those?
Those are BudBuilt overland series skid plates
@jdsmechanical do they hit the KDSS bar? I have a KDSS version of the Pro skid plate but it still hits a bit.
When you say "additional weight springs" what spring is that exactly? Did you buy a kit?
Did you do UCA's? Or did I miss that part
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”?
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
@@jdsmechanical Its my goal to make sure everyone says Panhard correctly or just call it a track bar. It's pronounced Pa-nar, it's French and named after the man who created it, Louis François René Panhard.
Great video, and get yourself a head mount go pro and make things easier on you :) Bravo to the one handed install !
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.
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.
What is the rate of these front springs, 650lbs or 700lbs?
These are the Bilstein 6112 additional weight springs for 150-200lbs more
Great work, Job! Are you happy with outcome performance?
@@oacy16absolutely! Great on road and off road performance, still very happy about with it.
Thank god i skipped out on KDSS.
Might be worth hitting it with a hose or swinging by the car wash so you don’t have to fight the dirt, too…
