    most people will disagree, but get one with KDSS equipped!

    No plans to extensively modify suspension -> KDSS is better on and off road.
    Plans to extensively modify suspension -> KDSS can be an issue.
    Haven't experienced the difference, but when I was considering switching from taco to 4R and was researching, this seemed to be the common thought.

    Crawl is on off-road, off road premium and pro. Do you want the kdss, do you plan to mod, lift,etc? If you want to mod, no kdss will make it easier to mod. Go test drive some models and see what you like!

    I installed a Toytech 2.5 lift on a KDSS equipped 4Runner and it wasn't an issue. Many have. It's a little more work to get the sway bar reinstalled but having KDSS is worth it.
