I asked my buddy who has the Canadian 2019 TRD-Off-Road with KDSS about his front suspensions. The part number on both the front ones are 48510-35440 (22inch) - meaning the height and the perch setting on the OEM normal/regular shocks on both sides is identical.

this being said, TRD Pro does not have KDSS and therefore the significant perch setting difference in the front may be balancing the weight somehow.

with KDSS model, does KDSS take care of the weight distribution and if so does it make sense that the TRDPffRoad with KDSS come with identical front end suspensions?

if this makes sense (KDSS with front suspensions with identical perch and coils) then going back to my original question... if I mount two identical TRD-Pro-Fox with the same perch/coils then I should not have any lean... plus the shocks will still performed as designed because i am not playing around with any spacers.

just trying to validate my theory. BTW, I found a person ( @Silversurfercal ) on the forum who is willing to swap one of his TRD-Fox front with mine so that both of us end up with identical fronts. but before that, calling your expert input.

many thanks

On the bottom of the lower spring perch they indicate which side they go on. Visually that looks like it has more difference left/right than the Tacoma. That would be consistent with KDSS lean caused by the cylinder on the driver's side.

Incidentally, on my fox factory series shocks I do have to set the passenger side about 1/2" higher to get the front to level side/side. Assuming those are identical side/side it would generally match. It's pretty unusual though to have that much weight difference side/side. I know the fuel tank could weigh around 200lb full. But that's less than 100lb, and it's on the wrong side.
