    Hello all. Looking to add a quality leveling kit/spacers to my ‘18 off road premium with kdss. What are you all recommending and what would be the largest tire that can fit with the new set up. This will be used for a dd, not a lot of off roading in the plans. Want it to drive smooth and be good in dry, wet, snow conditions. Thanks for all/any suggestions.

    If you are just trying to level at stock height, go with bilstiens 5100 in the front at .85. If you can, 5100 all around, but you dont have to adjust the rear height.

    Thank you for that suggestion. What does .85 refer to? And if I were to do a full 3” lift, what would be your suggestion?

    so the bilstien shocks have 3 levels of lift. 0.85in, 1.75in, and 2.5in of lift. id say anything higher than the .85 settings, you'll need coilovers. There is a plethora of resources here on this forum for a full lift. You just have to find something within your budget and your needs. 3" lift usually recommends UCA's but sometimes you don't have too. I'm looking at this lift since its fairly cheap in the realm of things.: .

    This site is a good recourse not just lifts but just about anything else you are willing to modify: https://trail4runner.com/

    Just had my Bilsteins installed today. 1.75” setting in the front and added a 1” spacer in the rear. Looks great with stock size all terrain tires. Ride is firmer and more controlled feeling. Nose dive is practically gone.

    You can also check out Eibach, they offer a very similar setup. That's what I've been running for the last 2 years on my 2019 OR with KDSS.
