    ^agree with this. I did a lot of reading about my KDSS, enough that I didn't want to do my own suspension work. One thing I do remember is that opening valves and letting air into the system is a big no-no.

    A lot of them have the lean after a lift - how high did you go and did you get any spacers to help offset lean before reopening valves?

    I got lucky and didn't have a lean (although I haven't measured in a long time since it settled). I only went about 2.5F/1.5R and I'm pretty sure that's settled between 1/4-1/2" since install

    Lots…
    Should not be loose. Should be slightly more than hand tight. That’s not good. It’s okay if you drove around on it as long as it didn’t get too loose to let air inside. It can be bled properly by Toyota. I suggest you take it to a dealer or totota mechanic to ensure they bleed the kdss properly before any real damage is done.
