New to me 2003 SR5!

[BC34IS]

Traded in my wife's Volvo XC70 yesterday and finally got back in a 4Runner! It is her DD but will be our weekend/errand car too. It only has 105k and was a one owner. I want to put a leveling kit and new tires on it soon, but need more info. From what I have seen on here Daystar 2.5/1.5 and Cornfed 3/2 are the most common. Is one of them better than the other? Cheaper? Easier to install? Also, how do I figure out if I have Xreas?

Xreas will have hydraulic lines running from the shocks, you can see them in the rear wheelwells. Shouldn't have it on an SR5. Nice rig!

Welcome. I installed the Daystar 2.5/1.5 leveling kit and it sure did level it out -- too much. Was looking for more front rake so kept the 2.5 lift in the front and installed OME 895E's in the rear. Like the stance now.

Since you have the SR5 model without XREAS I would recommend installing some Bilsteins 5100's and setting the front shocks to the highest or second highest setting to get that leveled stance.

Read up in this thread. It's got everything you want regarding 4th Gen. suspense.

I got the daystar for price mostly. Easy to install myself in my driveway in a few hours and ride's great. Best mod ever.
