I couldn't figure out the optimum block height so I settled on 50% of the lift height, 3" * 0.5=1.5" Then I lost access to my CNC and moved it to the back burner. I'm curious about your block height and underlying calculations. Do you think this would fix the KDSS lean? My research and understanding of the mechanism suggest it should help but I never completed my blocks to test it out. By the way, my Icon track bar still rubs. I'm so glad you made this work and are going to sell some. I'll buy a set!

No offense.
Just to share my experience.
I’ve done this in 2017, the lean in the front is about 10 mm only. I’ll say it definitely helps.
The way I think is, if you didn’t add the pad to the rear, there will be more pressure in the rear to pull down the KDSS cylinder, and since the front and rear KDSS path are connected, it may create opposite pressure in pushing up the front cylinder and then make the lean worse.
The pad actually helps releasing unexpected pressure to the KDSS cylinder caused by the lift.
My 2 cents.
