After some suspension work my 2013 has a 4" high rear-driver-side lean. The adjusting values are rusted and multiple mechanics have tried to loosen them. The extended warranty is willing to pay to have the value replaced since it failed internally. The dealer says they can't replace just the valve, because the entire KDSS is too rusted. The warranty won't pay for the rest of the system since it is rust-related, so the bill would be about $9K. It is hard to see doing that.
One option is to convert the KDSS to a conventional sway setup, the dealer can't find the Toyota parts to do that. There are aftermarket parts that will do it for around $3K P&L and the dealer or my local custom show can do that. I also hear that some are happy just removing the KDSS bars. I do use it as a tow vehicle for a small travel trailer.
Short term I am going to drive it and try some of the ways to level it, not using the values, I have read about here. And put together a long-term plan to lift the truck and remove the KDSS system at the same time.
Ideas?
How much lift can be achieved if the KDSS is out of the picture?
