Show us your 5th Gen KDSS lifted!

how is everyone's KDSS lean after the lift? Did one side need a small spacer to fix it?

Mine is a 1/4" higher on the drivers side so I like to think its level when I'm in it. I did the KDSS equalization and that seemed to help.

kings........

I have a KDSS lean but it doesnt bother me at all, nobody will notice it except you. It's like the pimple on your forehead......if you point it out, then the whole world will be staring at it.

No real noticeable lean. Did throw a 10mm OME spacer in on the passenger rear during the install, have not done the KDSS equalization *

Kdss experts... when installing a lift I have read to strap the piston in the kdss system. What about disconnecting the battery? Would this lack of power to the system keep the kdss ram from operating?

I heard putting in 4 low will disengage kdss and help with lift installation.
Someone with better kdss experience would have to confirm.

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!

I see several people with negative rake on lifted rigs...is this by design?

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?

 

[slprciv]

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.
