It was like almost 2" lower. Thought I fixed it but now it's too high. I have no tools to work on it so I'm stuck having a buddy help me or paying a shop.
 
Were you able to get that rear bar disconnected? With it still on, it will cause havoc with any changes you try to make at the front, since it will keep thinking it needs to adjust itself. At least that's my understanding of how the whole KDSS system functions.
 
No it's still on. I don't have the time or help to start removing kdss right now. Even if I did then I have no sway bars front and rear so the drivability would take a hit.

If anyone was local to me and could help that would be different
 
Not sure what else to do at this point but I'm getting extremely frustrated with the constant lean of the vehicle everywhere I go. I guess at this point I'd be willing to ditch the whole system and just drive cautiously. It's very annoying to spend a ton of money on suspension and there's always an issue
 
Does the rear axle have the brackets for the non-KDSS sway bar? I know the front has all of the mounting points, so all you would need is to find a used bar. Can't recall without going outside if the rear axle has the mounting points for it.
 
I didn't see any but maybe there is? I don't see any mounting points on the sides either.

Update.....I swapped out the rear Icons for the metal tech long travel and removed the sway bar and plugged the KDSS line.
 
Did it help with the leaning?
 
Yeah it really did.

For those with kdss and lifting, make sure both sway bars are disconnected and everything is set prior to rebolting them together
 
Look like twins now!

Also did these bad boys. No bump stop extension yet or brake lines. Super flexy though that's for sure

On I almost forgot......those lower reflectors on the rear bumper I converted to LED lights. It was like $20 on Amazon. Cool little mod for those with a stock bumper.

I am interested in this mod for the rear reflector light. DO you have any pictures of you install? What do I look up on amazon for the parts? Thanks for the help!
 
I will try to find the link. I just typed in gx470 accessories and it came up. It's like $25 or so if I remember correctly. I had a shop run the wires for me and they just spliced into the rear brake lights.
 
Debating if I should sell my 80 and get one these now. Seems like the community is really starting to grow
