Wife's 4runner needs new suspension (X-REAS)

[sport2004]

I had my XRES pulled out and replaced with 5100's front and back and new 5th gen springs to replace the worn existing springs. I cant praise the new ride enough. its firm but stable and raised the front just a touch to level out the truck. I would highly recommend this setup, cost me like 300 bucks or something like that for the springs and 5100 kit.

PS. i would also go get some new spring hats, sway bar bushings etc. to freshen up the rest of the suspension system.

What coilover springs did you get to go in the front?

What coilover springs did you get to go in the front?

I used 2017 Toyota 4Runner Trail Edition front and rear springs (the stock springs that came on the 2017 4Runner) then i paired them up with the 5100 front and rear shocks. front set to .85" (first ring above stock)

Still have not pulled the trigger yet. Now I am leaning towards Dobinsons springs and shocks. I like the idea of a softer ride and high quality components. Something about KYB for $350 off Amazon seems a bit too good to be true. Maybe someone else with KYB who has had success can chime in, or confirm my direction to head towards a Dobinsons setup.

i had the KYB when i bought my truck and they level out the front and ride fantastic!

I just replaced the XREAS system on a 2005 Sport with KYB Excel G front (strut with spring), and Bilsteins in the rear. About $350 on Amazon and 3 hours with hand tools in the driveway. At 180k miles it was due.
