    Too poor to buy anything now
    I don't know for sure but don't buy anything unless it specifically says it works with the KDSS system.

    Many don't have problems lifting KDSS. If you get problems like KDSS lean Toyota specialized 4x4shops know how to fix it.

    I only came to suggest if you lift the front with Bilstiens change the rear shocks to Bilstiens as well. Changing rear shocks will not change rear height but the ride would be better with matching shocks per my Toyota specialized 4x4shop.

    Mine has KDSS. I replaced the front shocks with the Bilstein 5100's and kept the stock springs but lifted the front by just under an inch. Looks better removing some of the rake. No issues with the KDSS and no lean.
