Hello All, I ditched the xreas suspension replacing it with 5100's and FJC springs. I set the front height to .85. I took my truck to have an alignment done and on the print out i noticed the top says "modified suspension". The numbers look different from stock. Does anyone have the specs my...

Hi Empty 403, I used the 2nd lift setting (.85 I think). I don't have the rear lift option. I hope the truck drives better! I do pull a trailer and I feel it wore the previous springs out.

update I was able to get the bushings on by jacking up the diff which put pressure on the bushings. I purchased Crows wrenches from Sears to torque the bolts on top. Just a note to anyone who is removing the xreas system. When you remove the rear shocks the upper mount may stay stuck on the...

actually i realized the hump goes up. How did everyone torque their rear shocks? There is NO room for a torque wrench up there

I realized I left the old x-res mount on at the top. I do have a question about the washer (right before you put the nut on) at the top of the new 5100. Is the "hump" of the washer suppose to go up or down.

Hey guys, I took the day off from work to install my shocks. i had the xres system before but ripped it all out. While installing the rear 5100's it looks like there isn't enough room for the bolt to go down on the top and tighten it after putting both the black rubber cushions that came with...

Hello All, I recently had both my front calipers replaced trying to resolve a pulling issue. When I brake the truck pulls hard to the left. When the brakes are not applied its fine! I'm just wondering what else I need to take a look at? Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help guys! So far I was able to obtain the FJ cruiser springs and I ordered the 5100's. Is there anything I need to be aware of when installing these springs or shocks? Any components I should change while I'm in there? As far as spring removal I'm assuming i could obtain...

I think I'll go with the 5100's for the fronts. So are the HD's and the 5100 rear shocks the same thing? I know my wife would prefer handling/safety vs soft/smooth rides. The reason I ask if I can keep the existing springs is because I can't find FJ springs anywhere! I'd like to do the install...

Hello All, I'm new here so please go easy on me! I recently purchased a 2004 V8 limited 4runner with 52,000 miles for my wife. 1 month after the purchase I find out 3 of my shocks are leaking (Xreas system). I've been reading and reading on this site about FJ springs\5100 shocks and I am...

So I have a question: Could I purchase the 5100 or HD's and keep the original springs installed with my leaking xreas system?
