KDSS Extension Link? (1 Viewer)

[CharlieS]

Can anyone tell me anything more about this KDSS extension link mentioned on Facebook? Would this do the same as a KDSS relocation? Is it a Toyota part?

Color me intrigued.

A Facebook friend shared some intel: it is a product from Superior Engineering out of AU.

"The link allows considerably more suspension travel with supporting modifications such as longer shocks and control arms etc and assists with the rectification of the "KDSS Lean" as commonly found in the 200 series.

TRC4308 includes a 50mm extension at the sway bar mount pivot, compared to the OE arm, allowing increased suspension travel for 200 Series with KDSS when modified to run long-travel shocks (length to be checked & confirmed prior to fitment)."

I believe that is only for the rear link. They still use the relocation bracket for the front.

Well that solves that problem. So we need two of these?

I don't think so (but I'm no expert). I think the US driver side has the KDSS arm pictured. If you are interested, why not call or email Cruiser Outfitters? They're an awesome vendor.

Just one per vehicle. You only have one KDSS Rear Arm.

I’ve had them in my truck for two years.

You might want to replace the rear brake lines with longer ones since this extended links will give you extra drop on the rear suspension. In my case the Russel SS braided rear brake lines were the limiting factor. I replaced them with SDHQ 4” extended length brake lines.

I’m not far from stock height but my kings do have quite a bit of extra travel, and I have no problem stuffing one tire hard against the bump stop, and the other to full shock extension, with stock links.

I guess this is primarily to help if you have significant lift? To get the sway bar closer to stock position in spite of that lift?
