Installing the Ironman FCP lift tomorrow on my 2016 GX460 Luxury with driver support/afs. I've done a similar install on my 2006 GX470 but it didn't have kdss/fancy headlights and pulling fuses worked great.
1. The ironman install video has you lift the truck, turn the KDSS valves 2 full turns, install lift, reinstall wheels, put truck on the ground and then retighten the KDSS valves 2 turns. Does this sound correct? Does it matter how level the surface is when you drop the truck back down? My garage is pretty small but super level so I was considering doing the install in my driveway which has a slight slope front to back (couple inches).
2. As I understand it, I shouldn't pull any fuses. Does this also sound correct?
3. I should add a stack of 5ish washers under the ride height sensor (both sensors or just the left or right?) for the headlights and also readjust using the screws on the headlights themselves.
4. To disable the air compressor leave the solenoid attached/plugged in but the actual compressor can be removed? I don't want it to run all the time when I hook up my trailer or load the back up.
Thanks for the help/clarifications. If there are any other tricky bits or words of wisdom related to the quirks of this trim please share!
