Hi folks! I couldn't find the answer to this specific question, so I apologize if it's been covered already. My driveway has a slight incline to it. Am I ok to loosen the KDSS valves on level ground, drive up on my driveway, install the lift kit, take the truck back to level ground and tighten the KDSS valves, before taking it in for an alignment? Thanks in advance.
 
I would personally try to find flat ground. If not possible I might loosen the valve once it's parked, lift kit, tighten, them move to flat ground for any kdss adjustments.

Im not sure I'd want to drive at all with the valves loose..

I'm sure someone who knows better will chime in
 
For a slight incline, I wouldn’t worry about it, as long as it is safe to work at that incline. Crack open the kdss valves <3 turns before starting and once complete take it for a quick drive around the block with the valves open and then Close things up. I have done this a few times, no issues driving at slow neighborhood speeds with the KDSS opens.
