    Maximize your KDSS + extended travel shocks

    Yeah that sounds good, standing by. My lean was 20mm but have heard of some up to 35mm! The strut spacer has brought mine to within 3mm difference (still happy with that) so an adjustable solution would be great :thumb:

    How To: Lift Installation (on KDSS equipped vehicles)

    Just finished reading all 19 pages and maybe I missed it, but do you guys not undo the shutter valves when doing suspension work? Here, the shutter valves get backed off 3 turns whenever anything is done, even installation of a bullbar. Maybe you're doing it and it's an unwritten rule? But we...

    Thanks mate, sounds like an easier solution

    Maximize your KDSS + extended travel shocks

    Well that's handy. So if someone like myself, is experiencing lean with stock suspension (no lift) could this be an option for correcting it as opposed to a strut spacer? I'm currently using a strut spacer which I have recently found out makes the car unroadworthy in one state in Australia. If...

    Are you seeing lean improvement in the front/rear or both?

    KDSS Long term reliability?

    Wow this is great information, thanks for that Jetboy! No I wasn't aware it was used by Maclaren and the LX system was that complex, I'd say their repair bills would trump ours. My understanding of the calibration was way off but its all coming together now, again thanks for explaining in...

    KDSS Long term reliability?

    Yeah that's exactly the same as the Prado, front springs are two different lengths from factory. Rear springs are airbags so we can't really do much for leveling the rear on ours. We really need a whiteboard for this haha. It sounds like my understanding of the calibration procedure is a bit...

    KDSS Long term reliability?

    Actually now that I think about it, that doesn't make sense WRT the 'calibration' procedure. So the procedure I followed on mine was; undo valves 3 turns, jack rear left wheel up (a lot!), then close the valves whilst wheel is still jacked up. This corrected my lean. My thinking was that the...

    KDSS Long term reliability?

    Thanks mate, that makes sense. Out of interest where did you find the diagram? Yeah I'm talking about the basic system, the one in our Prados looks identical to yours from the pics I've seen. I have fiddled around with those valves a few times trying to correct my lean. How common is the lean...

    KDSS Long term reliability?

    Hey everyone, I hope you don't mind me reopening this can of worms thread haha. I'm an Aussy with a 2016 Prado Kakadu that has KDSS. I had been trying to find out more information about the system just out of interest for about a month before I googled 'KDSS schematic' and came across the image...
