    Hi all, lurking and learning on this site for a while now, first post.
    I have a 2016 4Runner limited with the xreas suspension. My plan is to remove the xreas suspension system and install skyjacker t4330ST
    https://skyjacker.com/shop/suspensi...ce-strut-lift-kit-with-rear-black-max-shocks/

    will this work? I’ll have to use the front springs on the new shocks amd skyjacker says it doesn’t work with kdss or xreas, but if I remove the xreas it should work right?
    Anyone done lift kits on a limited 5th generation xreas 4Runner (not spacer lift)?
    Thanks in advance

    OP, it might be worth looking to 5100’s with springs front and rear. It’ll provide a much better ride I would say than that kit as it seems very cheap, I’ve never heard of that company. The 5100’s with springs will run you under $700. Or you could keep the stock front springs and use the built in settings on the 5100’s to achieve lift and just use a rear lift coil.

    Skyjacker's been around for decades, but I agree with @Mtbpsych - you'd be much better off spending your $$ on Bilstein or Eibach. And yes, all of the above items will replace the entire xreas system.

    Thanks guys.
    I already bought that kit so hopefully it’s not to cheap/junk.

    I have a leveling kit installed in the front so I’m planning on using that with this kit as well.
    I’m thinking I need to buy some upper control arms to do that? Or will the stock ones still work.

    Know nothing I'm not the one asking to be spoon fed answers.

    May I remind you, you are the person who bought something then asked if they fit.

    Can't find anything on Skyjacker on this website? There is reason. No one goes with them.

    And if you max out at 3" and add spacers most have had problems with alignment etc even with UCAs. Generally you don't want to go over 3"
