I am thinking of getting these to level ORP KDSS. Any thoughts? How hard diy? have access to post lift. I am thinking 1st clip 1". not touching rear.

Thanks.

 

Should be easy to do since it's pre assembled. You'll need an alignment afterward of course.

Good choice on the conservative lift height. Should leave you with an inch of rake for gear hauling/ towing.

 

Don't know how different it is with KDSS, but I installed those on my non-kdss ORP in my garage. Very easy. Here is the video I used.

Exit Offroad is also a vendor on the forum.

That's the procedure I followed on my KDSS OR, with the additional steps of ratchet strapping the KDSS cylinder at ride height and removing the sway bar bolts at the LCA prior to doing any of the steps in the video. However, I did not replace the oem coilover with an assembled coilover - I used a floor jack to lower the LCA with the main top bolt also removed and the lower shock bolt still in place to allow the coil spring to decompress, & replaced the shock; then jacked up the LCA to compress the spring and new shock.

Had I not replaced just the shock, I would have done it just that way after disconnecting the sway bar from the LCA.
