All of the speakers in the car have the Mark Levinson name on them...and I think the head unit does too but I cant remember (sadly...I just got out of it about 3 hours ago).

The way to tell if you have KDSS, is on the front end. Turn your wheels all the way to one side, and than look into the wheel well that has the widest open space towards the front end. There will be a very thick sway bar (about 2" in thickness) that is attached to the wheel brackets. And if you are looking at it on the drivers side, you will see what looks like a shock absorber connecting it to the frame under the engine. That is the hydraulic piston that defines how stiff the ride is during cornering, and releases pressure when off-roading at low speed. That lower pressure gives the sway bar greater articulation for more wheel travel.
if you do not have KDSS, that sway bar will be about an inch in diameter and is designed to "flex" when you corner. It will not have a piston on the driver side, but will be in a standard fixed (also called stablizer bar) non-moving bracket. The necessary flexing the bar needs to do for all around stability is what gives you the feeling of how much leaning the body will do in cornering.
Another note: The brush/rock guard underneath the engine, will have two bulges at the left and right edges of the plate. These bulges drop lower than the rest of the plate. These are for the movement of the KDSS pistons and their mounting brackets, and they are easier to define just looking at the truck from the front end.
