Is there anything you can do to adjust/lift the ride height of the shox on a 03 Sport Ed. with the x reas suspension without buying anything extra?
adjustable x-reas suspension?

Probably not. I can't think of any.
Shocks should NEVER be the main support of your suspension NOR should it ever be the limiting factor in your wheel travel. Springs and anti-roll bars do those jobs.
You want a small lift...get bigger/taller tires...the easiest, safest, and cheapest way!

gbleagle511:
A few members are working very hard on a remedy for those that have xreas to be able to lift. Hopefully we'll have some good news.
My suggestion is that there is a way althought it will be "VERY" difficult to do even if you are mechanically inclined. It requires the use of some spacers.
The travel of the shock and the size of the coil are the same as the non xreas system. Therefore, if the non xreas system can use the spacers using the same same shock (travel length) and coil, then I see why the xreas system one will not work.
The biggest hurdle is the front suspension as you're really limited to how much room you have to work. You somehow have to remove the shock but keep the xreas line connected and install the spacer and reinstall the shock assembly. (not an easy task by any feat). We have 1 member that is currently in the process of getting this one so hopefully I'll hear back from him shortly on his status.
If you feel confident enough w/ your mechanical skills you can try it for yourself. I just warn you that this has not been proven to work so all work done is your own liability (not mine). I am merely suggesting a solution to the problem. My 4runner does not have xreas so I can no way verify that my solution will work.
Good luck
