I don’t think a front spacer will introduce any preload. It will just add more lift, i.e., it won’t compress the spring(s).

Oh, and KDSS vehicles don't lean to the driver's side hardly ever, they lean to the passenger side with the fixed sway bar mounts, so a lot that were chiming in probably don't have KDSS. A lot of people create a lean when putting a spacer on the driver's side with KDSS, making the passenger side really low.

That's why I usually recommend people wait and add a spacer after a lift is installed and settled and if they have a lean of 1/2" or more, then they can correct if it they feel they should.
It’s strange. I just installed my Dobinsons springs on my KDSS 2018 4runner and the left side sits 1.5” lower than the right. Is this normal and any idea how to best rectify it?

Thx. I always thought KDSS lean was lower on the right side than the left. It can be lower on the left?

The pistons are on the drivers side. It must be holding that side down, so follow those instructions to reset the balance
