Question Xreas replacment??

HI! I have a 2008 limited with the Xreas and not the RAS in the rear, I Have one shock going out in the front so I have to replace all four corners, does The Xreas limit what I can do as far as aftermarket, say a 2.5 inch Bilstein kit?

No, you will be completely removing the XREAS to go with the new stuff. It's a completely independent system that you can eliminate all at once. No electrical controls or anything.

The “X-REAS delete...” post linked in my sig should be helpful. Also happy to answer any questions.

I am currently running a single Daystar 1.5" spacer in the rear left spring. Car sits nice and level now. I previously had no spacer in the rear and just a single spacer in the front left. Removed it for cv reasons. Now with the spacer in the rear it feels like the spring rebound much faster and harder. Almost jumps.
I did research before using the method and did not see others with similar problems.
Any tips on fixing this?

thanks

I have the Daystar spacers on my 2008 SR5. In my opinion, they stiffened up the ride compared to stock. I thought the stock suspension felt a bit "carlike." I like the new feel. I suppose it's the stiffness of the neoprene. Anyone else experience this?

Quick question for anyone who knows their stuff.

I'm looking at getting a slight lift for my '08 v6 SR5 4WD, and I'm trying to figure out what I should end up going with. My initial plan was to just get 5100's in the front, set at 1.75" to level out, but now I'm leaning towards getting the FJ Moog springs too.

Has anyone bought from rock auto? They don't list the Bilstein 5100 (24-239370), but they do have whats called a B8 5100 (24-196499). It still says ride-height adjustable, but with it being a different part number, would it still fit a 4th gen? It says it fits a 2010-2014 FJ and a 2010-2019 4runner.

Thanks for any help

Go for springs. Lift the rear too, otherwise you will have reversed rake (with front lifted at 1.75")

Bushings will be slightly different.

Wheel Spacers Needed?

Hi,

Wheel spacer question. I currently have a '06 Sport with front leveling spacers on stock xreas that will be deleted in maybe a year. I am getting new tires done in 3 weeks on some new wheels (17") that have a -10 offset. Trying to figure out if I will need wheel spacers or not. Currently looking into 265/275 tires sizes. Any feedback would be awesome, thanks!

First Lift Help

Bilstein is having a sale on the 5100's

Bilstein Height adjustable front and matching 5100 Rear shocks

If I set the front at 2.5" and the rear at 2" and combine with OME coils (885 front and 895) would I have any complications? I'll be deleting the XREAS when I install the lift I choose.

2003 V8 Limited 4WD
