ReadyLift and XREAS

[NOLEinAL]

So thinking about for the first mod going with ReadyLift 3"SST lift kit and putting on 275/55/20 Nitto Terra Gapplers on my 13 Limited. Guys at ReadyLift say this kit will work fine with the XREAS suspension set up on the Limited.
Being the novice I am about this I wanted to through it out there and see what you guys thought. This will be my everyday ride and will not be doing any serious off road work. Play in the mud once a month and go on trails/dirt roads hunting or camping.
Next will have to be nfab so the kids can climb in.

Looks like it is just a spacer that sits on top of the strut assembly. Since you aren't offroading, you won't need to worry destroying the strut as long as you don't fully compress the strut assembly. You probably won't be able to get it back into alignment, so you are going to want to get some UCA.

Thanks for the input. Suggestions on brand? About what should I be paying for them? Am I messing up here? Want just a little lift without changing the ride to bad. Has to have new shoes! Then......

There is a lot of brands of UCA, just do a search here and you'll find them. Definitely not messing up, it is just up to your preference. I have a limited and ended up replacing struts, springs, and shocks along with UCA. I am pretty sure you won't be messing with the ride at all since the spacer is on top of the assembly, so you are preloading the spring. You will still have the nose dive that most 4runners have.

Yea, I have a Limited with XREAS. The nose dive isn't too bad unless you really hit the brakes and the whole front of the car sinks. I am very picky about performance and ride.

Anyone else here used the readylift on the limited? You guys are killing me on the tires. Its like going to a restaurant that has to many good things on the menu.

I don't have a limited, but at this point the ready lift has worked just fine for me

I have an LE with the exact products mentioned above. It also aligned to spec as well. No issues with mild offroading. Do it.

Had it done two days ago, nfab going on Monday. Looks like I will now follow most everyones lead and change out wheels. Prob do 18" XD's and can't decide what tread to put on them. Recent pics with this set up would be appreciated. I will try and get some pics up this weekend. Did not get UCA and everything seems good so far.

Whats your experience been so far with Readylift and Xreas, any pics to share?

 

[Casturtroy]

Is the only real difference between the Readylift and Daystar the height? I have the Daystar on order. Great thread. Have also been wondering on whether to include UCAs or not. op2:

How did you make out with the Readylift, larger wheels, and no upgraded UCAs? Did you manage to get it aligned properly?

Ready lift experience

I put the 3" spacers on the front 2 1/2" on the back. Ride is like factory and no alignment problem. I'm off road occasionally but no major compressions.
