Hey all,
Seems like many of you have suspension lifted your KDSS rig to 3" or less, lets see the result and post your height, component list, including UCA choice. Tire, wheel and spacer specs too. Should be a great collection of rigs for us KDSS owners. Thanks and happy wheeling!

Sexy. How do you find the re-gear?

-Mike.
 
'15 canadian trail (they all have KDSS here)
King shocks
2" icon rear springs
dirtking UCAs
265 KO2s in these photos. Stock trail wheels---Love the stock trail wheels.
currently have 285 blizzaks on, will likely swap to 255 ST maxx in the spring
2 3/4" lift, maybe closer to 3
no lean, no issues with KDSS. I replaced all the KDSS bushings this year for around $60. I will probably replace these bushings more with the lift than I would without-- but they're cheap and very easy to replace.

Truck was shiny on this day, so I had to take some pics.

I'm really happy with the new gearing. I've got about 4000 miles in it so far and I'm really impressed with the change it made. I don't wanna thread jack but I'm gonna post a review of ECGS and High Country 4x4 later today so look for that

What's your overall height? I'm looking to do a similar lift and have a rack that adds about the same height, worried about parking garages I go to often.

The rig is 6'10" to the top of the rack, Then another 4" to the top of the shovel mounts for 7'2". With the shovel it's another 3" to 7'5"

I don't store my lift or shovel on my rig but generally parking garages, car washes etc are a no go
 
2015 TE, KDSS
King Coilovers with 600lb coils, King Extended Travel Shocks, Dobinson's 677V Progressive rate coils, Dirt King UCA's w/ heim inners, Rokmen rear trailing and upper arms, Rokmen adjustable panhard. Nitto Ridge Grapplers 305/70-17 on SCS Ray10's with 1" BORA spacers.

I feel like I just rewrote my signature! :ohwell:
Most of the rest is in there. Oh and I would guess I'm at 3" in the front and rear. No lean last time I checked!

[MENTION=116156]TheWraith[/MENTION], have you tried an OME trim packer in the rear?

No I have not... the lean is only consolidated to the front passenger side. The rear isn't noticeable at all

2016 TE with KDSS. Small 2.5” / 1” lift via Bilstein 6112/5160 and Wheeler T13 rear springs.

Works for me...easier than anticipated to install.
