Lift all 4 wheels in the air before you disconnect the XREAS. Once you replace the fronts, you will need to replace the rear.
 
Fronts came off nice. Couple of drops of fluid and thats it. X Reas still intact. Gota put fronts together. 5100's will be installed Saturday Night. Way Stoked...
 
5100 FJ Swap Done.

All done. Ended up removing X Reas all together. 1 of the front shocks was leaking anyway so dont have any more worries. Huge difference in ride quality. Much better than stock anyday. Fronts set at 1.75. Looks Awesone. So glad this is done. '12 FJ Wheels goin on Monday or Tuesday with BFG's A/T K.O.'s. The 5100/FJ Swap is Well worth it.
