The Landcruiser 200 series in the North American Market comes with a lower front which gives an unlevel front compared to the back.
Here is how to correct that and create a lift in the front and even out the stance.
I call this the Poor Man's lift because it is inexpensive compared to changing the suspension.
Besides, why change out cush a great system!
The KDSS, Kinetic Dynamic Suspension system, also found on the 4Runner, is an incredible system which dynamically changes the suspension from on road to offroad, making the Land Cruiser one of the most capable SUVs on the planet. No wonder it's the vehicle of choice for the UN!
When you do this front spacer suspension, be sure to loosen the KDSS valve by a couple turns, then once installed, turn the valves back to re-adjust to the new height. You will know you haven't done this if the front is too low on one side.
With this Poor Man's lift, the Landcruiser will not only look great and the way it was meant, but also perform the same, giving you that uncompromised excellent ride, both on and off road!

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system.

Lol, on a routine oil change, I get a call from my dealer... says, My GM in interested in buying your Landcruiser (2008). I was flattered and said, he can talk to me when I pick it up. So one of his henchmen met me and said, there are some recommended repairs... but we would buy your LC for 12,500... LMAO... I literally laughed at him... I said sure, and I'll give you 45k for your 2021 Heritage... same 50% discount.

I bought the 2010 Lexus version of the Land Cruiser 6 months ago (LX 570). Loving it! I can attest to the speed of this beautiful 6 speed automatic. Thanks for the tip on adding the spacer up front. 💯👌🏾
@CruisingTheLand
@CruisingTheLand 3 года назад
Double check on doing that to the LX570. You have AHC, not the KDSS. You can click a button and get 2" height. My wife has a 2008 LX570, so same as yours. There is a $50 overrode option on the AHC, which you can leave it on high, above 20mph. And just choose manually when you want it to drop vs the system automatically doing it at 20mph.
@redballtrading
@redballtrading 3 года назад
@@CruisingTheLand Awesome! Excellent points. You just gave me food for thought. I won’t need to add a spacer. It only shows a noticeable slant in the front (on purpose) when I set the button on the left side of the dash to have the AHC lower the truck when the engine is cut off. Allowing for easier exits when stepping out of the vehicle. That said, it becomes more level at Normal and Hi height.

It was my understanding that the positive rake ie rear end higher than the front was to allow payload to be added to the rear and resulting in a neutral rake. Not sure if that's correct but what I was told.......correct me if Im wrong. Great videos, my search continues for a 200, haven't found a 07 100 series minus the AHS.

with KDSS in the twisties it's basically a 6000lb WRX, it moves so fast through hairpins, nearly 100hp to each wheel, the harder you accelerate through the turn the harder it grips, wherever the front wheels are pointed that's where it goes as it tears up chunks of asphalt. does KDSS balance front to rear also? because the body doesn't move or roll at all, side to side or squatting front to rear under acceleration in corners. it corners on rails
@CruisingTheLand
@CruisingTheLand 3 года назад
Phenomenal! The KDSS is hydraulic so its instant... so it can rip over washboard roads... I should enter my 200 in the Baja 1000.

What brand/model wheels are those? Really like the look of your Land Cruiser. Thinking about trading in my 2016 4Runner limited with 79K miles for a 2008 Land Cruiser with 200k miles. Would you go back 8 years to upgrade from a 4Runner to a Land Cruiser?? Tough choice for me.

The wheels are Rock Warriors. They are always grey with silver beadlocker ring, I refinished then in Yankee Gold (I have a video on that) and black rings.

So, I am a Landcruiser guy... I like the wider interior vs 4Runners. A 2008 LC is same thru 2015 with minor facelift in 2013... Then major facelift in 2016, but same suspension (KDSS) and engine (383hp) as 2021... So 2008 is definitely not dated... Built in Japan, to a higher standard... the 200k is only at its 1/3 life...
@kellstat
@kellstat 2 года назад
Yes. You will never look back. And that's saying a ton, cuz 4runners are one of the best 4x4 trucks, and just vehicles built. Period. But it's not a Land Cruiser.

I thought I would add a point about saving money. I’m from Canada and want a 200 but they were not sold here so either I can import from the USA or the Middle East (rest of the markets are right hand drive) and I did a bit of research and the average LC200 in Dubai is 100k AED which converts to 30k usd for a 2017-18 with under 50k kilometres on it, (granted cars get abused there in the dunes) if I decide to get one and go on vacation in Dubai and find a nice one and do engine tests and find it to be in good condition it’s a deal, and shipping from Dubai to the Vancouver is around 3k, over all it’s a deal. The only thing is that you have to be very careful to not buy a abused one because those guys in Dubai redline their 200s for hours on the dunes, henceforth you gotta go and buy it yourself and do some engine tests. The website Dubai cars has a tone of listings if you wanted to check it out. 😀😀
