First time posting I've looked and lurked for months but can not find a definitive answer to my question on my lift. I have a new to me 2014 Lexus GX460 luxury, I have a 2 inch front and rear lift with Bilstein 5100's OME 886 in the front and stock load OME rear coils with the conversion kit from Icon. I also have the Dobinson front and rear passenger side spacers, the Dr.Kdss spacers and the BOTCK. I have done the kdss reset but I still get either a passenger front lean or a driver rear over extension. My question is can I remove the passenger front top hat spacer and adjust the preload by moving the spring seat up one notch to counter act the lean? Any and all help is welcome
 
Yeah, adding preload usually takes care of a lean, but if it will work for you, who knows? IIRC, Lexus has a spring solution for KDSS lean, so it's something they do.
 
Is your lean caused by KDSS or from your suspension? KDSS lean is a common issue and there's lots of info about that on this forum.

I think it might be a combination of both. I think the driver rear ram is overextending and pushing the passenger front down or maybe the preload on the passenger front is not enough. Being that I have the Bilstein 5100 would the .85 of lift to be enough?

I'm lifted that wouldn't work for me

Have you checked out some of the KDSS solutions on this forum yet?
Albeit, I've never had the issue, but from what I've read over the years, it sounds like you just need to roll the high side tires on a 2x4 or two, then loosen the KDSS valve, let it settle then tighten.
Caution: Don't take my word for the above solution, but double check to see if I'm correct.
