    How long your xreas last??

    The rear is just inside the fender well at the lower forward facing corner of each rear fender well between the body and the frame. You'll need a 17MM and 21MM wrench for the lines and a 12mm to unbolt the brackets. Then there is the hydraulic device on the outside of the frame rails each side...

    Xreas longevity poll

    Without an upper control arm upgrade, it's not quite as good as it turns in a little too easy. Over time I think it has lost performance as the springs and X=REAS aged so I think it's better now than before I swapped. Is it as good as when it was in its prime? Prob. not quite the same at...

    Bilstein 5100 rear shocks - why don't they fit?

    This thing works really well and its a beast I had no fear at all that it could not handle the task. It's a 34lb. kit. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NH7GNP6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    ..... Oh side note. You SHOULD install the springs first. It's a lot harder to get the coils in with the shocks installed. Hi superman3043, it worked out great. I did install the springs first. I just tried the shock fitment/alignment first. (I love my spring compressor.) I had to position...

    How long your xreas last??

    X-REAS removed, lines up 4 grabs I've got an 06 Sport Just pulled out my X-REAS system at 227k miles. I noticed the bad tire wear beginning on the inside from tires. It was still fine at 200k. When I replaced the tires with Cooper Discoverer A/T3's. (Love them! and no more noise than the...

    Bilstein 5100 rear shocks - why don't they fit?

    I did had trouble installing the rear 5100 too as I expected it to fit exactly. Then I tried to put the stock shocks back on and it was not sliding on either so I knew the angle of the axle had shifted enough that it won't go back on unless you strong arm it. Which I did by putting the lower end...
