XREAS lost oil

[villahidalgo]

I took my 4runner to the shop to get a spacer and FJ springs installed. They were not familiar with the XREAS system (although they said they were), they tried to disconnect the front passenger shock and it leaked some oil. After some yelling on my part, they followed my instructions and installed the springs and spacer. The car feels great, but I am wondering if they ruined the system or what can happen since two of the shocks leaked. Will I have any problems?

Are we talking a couple drops or did you need more than two paper towels to clean it up? When I did my suspension work I only lost a couple drops on each side.

Is the ride much firmer and stable? i just collected all the parts and ready to install.. Debating if i should change the shocks and get rid of XREAS system.

i have Daystar 2.5/1.5 spacers.. hope it isnt too much of a lift with FJ springs

It was more than a couple of drops, it sprayed the car and the floor. At least one paper towel worth.

The ride is much firmer. I installed springs from a 4x4 FJ and the 1/2" Toytec spacer and easily got 3" of lift in the front, although I haven't measured it yet.

The stance of the truck is way better, but you can definetely notice the firmer ride.
