New 4runner

[GX4SEVEND]

New to the site as I just purchased my first SUV, 2005 4runner LTD V8.

If anyone can point me in the right direction for a lift that would be greatly appreciated. I do not want to do spacers, i would like to do the OME kit or the Bilstein 5100 with the OME springs but there arent really any links as to where to purchase them or exactly what it needed.

You can read about different options and setups on member Good Times' personal site.

But there are a few members here who have OME setup, ProMed is the first one that comes to mind. His thread.

SleeOffroad.com is sells OME.

How do you know if you have XREAS? I know the rear doesnt have springs on my limited so does that mean i have it?

I guess a better question would be what kits should i be looking at and where to buy them?

X-REAS shocks have a line that looks like a brake line to link the the shock with the diagonal corner. Also there's a canister that distributes the fluid to the opposing shock on the side of each frame rail about where the B-pillar would be. Look on this picture on your rear shock. Picture courtesy of member Luxury's thread.

If you don't have rear springs, it sounds like you have X-REAS and rear air suspension. You have rear air suspension, if you have two additional buttons on the center console (behind the shifter) next to the DAC button between the seat heater switches. IIRC, one is for height and the other is mode for the system.

To retain X-REAS, spacers are your only option... I don't know how having rear air suspension would complicate that. If you're willing to remove the entire X-REAS system and rear air suspension, then you can choose any option. There a few members with Sport Editions that have removed the X-REAS system and gone with OME or coil-over lifts.
