    I’ve found a good deal on used iron man foam cell pro stage 1 lift kit for my 2011. It is coming off a 4Runner with KDSS though. Are the parts the same? Obviously I can’t fit the KDSS sway bar, but are the shocks and springs the same size? Want to make sure it fits before I buy.

    In my experience -
    1) Visually non KDSS kit come with different preload set drive vs passenger side on coil overs.
    2) Non-kdss kit come with a swar bar correction bracket.


    Atleast in my opinion its not a good idea to use KDSS kit on a non KDSS 4Runner.

    Thanks for yall's input! I emailed Iron Man America and they said that the components are exactly the same for both kits. The only difference between the two is the panhard bar.
