KDSS is completely independent of everything else other than the speed you are driving. Below 12 mph, more articulation, above less. So no, putting it in 4 low will have no effect on a lift installation. Best thing to do is have a shop do it that has experience with KDSS.

King extended travel w/ adjusters, 2" Icon rear springs, 650lb coilover springs, a little over an inch of preload threads showing with slightly more on the passenger side, Icon delta joint UCA's, 285 tires.
Front rides a bit high especially when the truck is loaded up, but I have a lo-pro bumper waiting to go on and then I'll readjust as needed.

You definitely have some negative rake going on, but it’s not that bad looking. I think once you add some weight like you said, you will be good to go!

Thank you. It’s definitely a process to try and get it “just right.”

I have Kings on order with 550 front -- I have aluminum skids, steel sliders. How do the 650 springs up front ride?

It's firm but not stiff. I have adjusters so that helps fine tune the dampening. Also I have full steel skids, steel sliders, and soon front lo pro steel bumper with winch. It's the only reason I went with 650.... if not I would've just went with 600 or stock 550 springs instead.

I mainly have 1" of rake just for gear and camping stuff out back when I off road. Also for future full roof rack on top too.
