KDSS front sway bar end adapters
Fits: 2010+ 4Runner / GX460 / Prado 150 / GX470 (with KDSS)
What It Does
-
Corrects improper bushing angles caused by front suspension lifts. Optimized for 2–3"+ of lift, where bushing bind typically begins around the 2" mark.
-
Keeps your sway bar up high and out of harm’s way — no more drop spacers.
-
Frees up the KDSS system to cycle correctly for full droop and better articulation.
-
Extends bushing life and prevents premature KDSS strut failure.
-
Allows more travel if you have a shock that allows more travel
-
Made from 7075 aircraft-grade billet aluminum — not 6061 like cheap knockoffs.
-
We recommended combining this with our KDSS bushing brackets
Why You Need It
-
Lifted KDSS rigs get a bad front bushing angle. That binding kills your bushings and can even cause metal-on-metal contact.
-
These adapters fix that geometry so the sway bar cycles clean, the bushings last, and you get smoother suspension travel.
-
If you’re running extended or long-travel shocks (Total Chaos +2, etc.), this mod is almost mandatory.
Design & Strength
-
The original DRKDSS KDSS adapter — not a copy.
-
CNC-machined from 7075 billet aluminum for maximum strength and lightweight durability.
-
V2 = 3 mounting holes for adjustability.
-
V3 = same strength, now supports GX470 compatibility.
-
Anodized in black for superior corrosion protection.
-
Sold in pairs (driver + passenger).
Install Notes
-
GX470 users: must install with DRKDSS Bushing Brackets.
-
If not using them, you’ll need to modify OEM bracket hooks and holes.
-
Cannot be used with KDSS drop spacers.
-
Both push the sway bar forward, causing frame/skid interference.
-
Designed for stock KDSS mounts on lower control arms.
-
Great around 2”+ lifts with bad bushing angle. Pairs great with our KDSS Bushing Bracket
-
Easy install with hand tools.
-
Factory bushing bracket bottom hooks must be cut off.
Benefits
✅ Keeps sway bar high and safe from rocks/skids.
✅ Eliminates sway bar bind and bushing wear.
✅ Restores full KDSS motion — better droop, smoother cycling.
✅ Prevents premature KDSS strut failure.
✅ Makes bushing swaps and maintenance easier.
✅ Lightens sway bar spring rate slightly for a more natural feel.
✅ Creates a stronger floor jack point.
⚠️ Wide wheels (9”+) may rub the bushing bracket at full lock.
Material Notes
-
Made from 7075 billet aluminum — same grade used in race trucks.
-
Precision-machined and anodized black for a clean, tough finish.
-
If it doesn’t say 7075, it’s not the real deal.
