no leaking, just very soft & kinda bouncy over dips in the road or low spots on the highway. still felt stable in corners but at 145k & 10 years old on my 08 sport... they needed to be replaced. i replaced all 4 shocks with KYB, used their spring & shock units for the front & kept stock springs in the rear. they ride very nice & are about 10% stiffer than stock, which is not much but enough to make the 4runner feel very stable & firm in situations mentioned above. if you dont do any heavy off roading they are a great replacement shock, but i bet they can handle some decent off roading too. they added about 2" lift in the front compared to teh worn xreas & if you want more you can use your spacers. & they are priced right.
if your 03 has anywhere near 100K... your xreas should be replaced IMO.
