I have a full set from my truck (57k) but it's still on it till I switch to a different setup or should I say when I switch to a new setup. I'm not sure how much they're going for used but if I can get at least some $ on them to offset the cost of a new setup then we might be able to make a deal.
BTW, AMISBOB, how many miles do you have on your 2003?

njharrell: I think the dilemma you will face is finding a full set to begin with and then having it shipped to you. The whole set is strange to ship because you cannot bend the lines.
It looks like you have the FJC bilsteins on your 2003 4R, why do you want the XREAS? Anything wrong with the bilsteins?

I'd say worth the trouble but not the shipping. :lmao:

80k and a leak already? Wow, I've read some users having over 100k on them with no problems. I'm actually looking to upgrade to a beefier setup, ready to sacrifice the no lean during turns ride to get a more off road capable truck. If and when I finally do do it and you still need em I'll let you know.

Actually I'm worried that the truck will start to lean during turns after I remove the XREAS. I can truthfully say that on hard ball the truck feels like a sedan when going through turns & I think its b/c of the XREAS so if I take that off then I'll need to slow down at the on/off ramps. The benefit I'm hoping to gain is better off road ability.

I'm not sure you are understanding my post above. Your truck will handle BETTER without XREAS if you replace it with Bilstein shocks. I've done the mod myself as have many others. My truck, with XREAS removed and Bilsteins installed, will out corner and out handle your truck with XREAS still installed. You will drive FASTER on the off ramps and have LESS brake dive with Bilsteins. Your truck with Bilsteins installed will have less of the side-to-side wiggle the T4R is known for when driving over uneven pavement. And, while towing a trailer, you will again have confidance that the T4R will travel in a straight line on the freeway. It's a good mod done by many T4R owners and you will not be disappointed. Your truck however, will ride more like a truck. The ride will be firmer and the bumps more obvious.
XREAS was a good attempt by Toyota to make a truck ride like a car and handle like a car however, it misses by a mile when compared to a high quality aftermarket shock. I can't speak of off road ability comparisons however, I would assume your truck's off road manors will IMPROVE without XREAS. Read the threads. No real T4R off roader is still using XREAS.
