It doesn't make contact at all with the tire. It's mainly not as tucked away on the frame rail on the drivers side when compared to the passenger side. KDSS plumbing lines on the drivers side are the reason for the drivers side reservoir bracket not being as tucked away on the frame rail as it...
They have a 3 year 40,000 mile warranty. A lot will depend on how you use it and how often you clean them to prevent buildup on the exposed shaft and seals.
I took it to a reputable shop with a quality spring compressor. They squeezed the spring and adjusted it within 20 mins. I used a paint marker and painted the thread that I wanted them to adjust to. Less chance they muck it up! I was charged $40 and it was well worth it. Also, use blue painters...
I'm running stock size Nitto Terra Grapplers G2 265 / 70R / 17 but instead of P rated, I have LT. They ride great on the highway (75% of my driving)!
The compression on the shock system can be adjusted to compensate the higher load range!
I would take it to Tom at Camelback Toyota. He does all the alignments after he installs SPC UCAs, Icon Billet and Tubular UCAs. Knowledgeable and stands by his work. Robert Gonzolez can schedule you with Tom at Camelback Toyota (16th St and Camelback). Tom builds all of Camelback Toyotas lifted...
Zero issues. Knock on wood. Been driving it every day for 2 months (2500 miles). I think it's because I didn't go too high. I believe the people who lift it over 2.5-2.75 inches is where KDSS gets wonky.
Stock upper control arms and no leaning to either side. I adjusted the coil top hat from 20mm of exposed threads to 12mm on both the drivers side and the passenger side. They come from the factory assembled for a Prado with a Diesel engine, bumper, and winch. That's at least 400 lbs of weight up...
