I agree with Thai to do a search but to give you a quick reply..
You can lift your Sport with XREAS, using spacers which will give you a max of 3" of lift. There will be no problems doing this. Your XREAS will remain connected and operational. Many people use spacers for looks or practical uses (offroad clearance) with no problems. Going higher than 3" will likely cause your shock to start leaking as has happened to some people in the past.
You can search for spacers using these words SPACER LIFT, REVTECH, DAYSTAR, CORNFED.
Your alternative after that; you need to look at replacing your shocks (and coils) with something like OME (Old Man Emu), Donahoe etc, that may give you slightly more lift than spacers but much improved handling and greater capacity for offroad and weight carrying.
Search away. There's heaps on this topic.

The X-REAS gives you better handling than a stock T4R without it (w / X-REAS your truck doesn't lean so much in fast corners).
If you decide to totally remove the X-REAS and go with an aftermarket setup, it's possible to get something that feels as good as, or even slighty better than an X-REAS equipped 4Runner.
Personally, I have and LOVE my X-REAS equipped 4Runner with it's 1 inch Cornfed lift!

Man snap315 that car is sweeeeet! I am heavily considering buying a 4runner just like yours (Black 4x4 V8 ). Thank you for the advice guys, I am also considering each one of those options
