    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

      ​@jdsmechanical do they hit the KDSS bar? I have a KDSS version of the Pro skid plate but it still hits a bit.

    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 !

    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!
