Sudden onset severe lean (possibly KDSS related?)

I've followed the various KDSS lean threads for years and don't recall my situation coming up.

I had a minor lift installed in August, Dobinsons 2.5/1 front/rear shocks and coils. Reputable local shop and no issues after and no lean. Offroaded 3-4 times without issue but not recently.

Just recently I noticed the the truck severely tilts to the driver side. Like, fender arch 2.5" lower on left vs right rear fender. Front also tilts but a little less.

I say "sudden onset" because I don't know when it happened, only that I noticed it (it's obvious) one day recently. Only correlation I can think of is the seasonal cold and below freezing tempts (coldest -12C to date.)

There's nothing obvious like a broken coil, no weird sounds or weird handling or bad alignment or dash lights while driving. Just a lot of lean.

Anything else to check? Anything I can/should try to reset KDSS, like that Aussie youtube clip with the boards, before going back to the installer (or maybe a dealer that knows KDSS) ?

I had the KDSS lean after I installed my lift. Mine was leaning to the passenger side, so I opened the valves on the accumulator and lifted the truck one side at a time.
here are a few things that might help.
