Lift kit modification alter/null 2012 TE kdss suspension?
Hey everyone I recently purchased a 2012 TE with the KDSS suspension. I'll post pics in the respective Thread as soon as I'm able to get some photos.
I'm super eager to start adding some modifications to my new TOY. I've searched the site for an answer, but it seems that I must be a super noob. So if anyone can direct me or post a response please do so.
(Will a lift kit modification alter or nullify the Toyota manufactured Kdss suspension?). I'm enjoying the kdss suspension and what it offers.
I was want to do a 2.5 - 3 inch lift kit either icons stage 2 or The Radflo complete kit. Thanks for responses.
BTW if a lift doesn't hinder the KDSS suspension does anyone know of a quality installer in the Las Vegas area?
You will not have to ditch the KDSS to install an Icon lift. It may come with a stabilizer relocation bracket that you will not need as the KDSS stabilizer bar attaches to the LCA in a different location from the non-KDSS bar.
Such a quick response, I appreciate your feedback "Narkhelek". That’s good to know, that the KDSS will be kept intact and coincide with a lift suspension.
Okay so lift it is, now I just have to find a qualified Company that specializes in Toyota TE 5th generation 4 runners. Anyone know of a such a place in the SINCITY????
I'm still contemplating the lift, if anything it looks like findley toyota is going to be charging roughly around 2500 clams for the install and icon stage 1 parts.
I noticed on a couple of website I could get the Icon stage 1 or better for around 1300 or go with another brand, now if I could only find a proffesional installer for a great deal... Any one out there. Warranty not an issue here!!!
Seriously. Even $200 is high unless they are changing control arms. I did my Toytec ultimate lift by myself. Never done it before. Just read the instructions and went for it. KDSS actually made it easier. Did not have to disconnect the tie rod ends. Took me 3 hours including the differential spacers and changing the rear springs and shocks. Some one who knows what they are doing should take a little over an hour.
Finally after a month of contemplating some overtime and some sports betting (JK) I took the plunge. I decided to install the Icon 2.5-3 inch front coil-over extended travel shocks, and the icon 2.0 series 2-3 inch lift rear suspension with the icon 2 inch rear coil spring. After a weeks of driving around, I am more than excited and happy with this modification. The KDSS suspension continues to work perfectly along side the lift, the ride comfort is as good or better than stock on the road.
Lol, yeah a tad big, now that I'm looking on my desktop!!!! I did all the attachments from my iPhone!! So on the iPhone screen it seemed perfect lol!!!
The Corning is handling very well did some hi speed runs on the desert flats!! It was amazing and the rude was superb!!
Install was around 5 hundred bucks, it includes the install, alignment and readjustments if needed in about 1000 miles!!!
I went to 4 wheel parts here in Las Vegas... Great people!

4wheel parts did your install on your KDSS? I have been trying to get them to do an install here in Raleigh and they will not touch it.
