Stock orders placed today are listed at End of March.
We are expecting to see a stock delivery already in queue
to be available by beginning of February.
We have a Wait List started and recommend getting an order
submitted sooner rather than later to get added to the list.

I'm in the market for this set now but I'd like to ping those more knowledgeable than I first. I have a '15 4Runner Limited and my struts/shock front and rear have these hydraulic lines hooked up to them that I do not see in the pictures shown for the Bilsteins. Is the 5100 Complete Kits advertised here the correct kit for my 4R? Here is a picture of my rear right side shock

I did more research on this forum and sure enough, it's XREAS and man is it expensive to replace! You have to replace all four at once as well as the lines and pump. Total cost is about $4,000. I'm looking into an XREAS delete option now. I'd like to get new shocks and coils all around. I'm not a big off-roader so a lift per se isn't something I'm after.

'15 Limited here with 104,500-ish miles. Should I consider replacing my coils front and rear too if I buy this Bilstein kit? Any recommendations on coils to use for a daily driver? I don't go off road but I do occasionally tow about 3,500 lbs. Like many of you, I'd like to level out my 4R but I'm not into lifting it an excessive amount. As close to stock is best for me. Thanks in advance!
(Edit: The reason I'm considering new coils is I'm concerned the removal of XREAS will affect my 4R's handling. I don't know enough about how removing XREAS will affect the handling so I'm erring on the side of caution. If the ride gets a little firmer I'm ok with that.)

I wouldn't bother replacing the coils. If you aren't lifting, just set the front at stock or 1 notch up for a ~0.85" lift in the front to level. The rear coils are fine as is.
If you want to minimize towing sag, I suggest adding AirLift 1000 airbags to the rear (they sit inside the rear coil). They're only $100 and work well.
See my previous post where we used them to maintain rake on our 4Runner loaded up for a road trip.
This picture is with the bags aired up to ~10-15psi but with the back of the car empty without gear. With only the tent up top (100lbs), the bags provide a lot of lift. They'll easily offset the trailer tongue weight and don't diminish the ride quality. FYI, I am NOT affiliated with anyone or anything. Just a happy customer of the Bilsteins and the Airlift bags.
Just to reiterate, this picture is with 1.75" set front Bilsteins (stock coils) and 1.5" Cornfed spacers in the rear but with the car empty and the airbags fully inflated, noting the crazy odd rake.
