    I had an alignment shop replace XREAS system on my 2006 4Runner Sport with their choice of struts/shocks. The ride is very rough, bottoming out on larger bumps. What is my best option for what used to be a great ride?

    Best option? Throw away that Xreas system and get something legitimately useful. Xreas is novel, not exceptional. There are very good suspension kits with exceptional reputation at this point that dont break the bank - Ironman4x4, Old Man Emu, Bilstein, Dobinsons. To name a few

    For my 5th gen I haven't experienced anything better than XREAS on road. I've experienced from the firmest OME nitro to Bilstien5100, Ironman FCP to whopping $4000 just for front coiliver + rear shocks ELKA 2.5DC. Or even factory Fox TRD Pro. Nothing ride better as XREAS on road to my taste.

    They replaced it already peoples. Need to know what they put on it.

    Won't be as smooth as XREAS though.
