    I just bought this 2016 March of 2022 with 94,000 miles and will like to level it any suggestions ? Because I found videos on YouTube but none of the 3 videos rec a specific spacer brand and where to buy and keeping in mind I have the xreas system. For what I was reading I'm Amazon reviews the 2 inch people ended cutting the studs cause they where too long .

    When I wanted to lift my Limited my 4x4 shop said the rear XREAS shocks are not recommend to lift "They cannot even handle 1.5inches of lift". They are Front top hat spacer was no big deal.

    So I decided to remove XREAS and do a full suspension lift. Now I have Ironman Foam Cell Pro lift with 1.5in lift rear & 2¼ in front.

    Pros - I have more confidence driving faster on rough roads. Give a nice look vs stock height.

    Cons - I have lost the excellent ride quality on pavement absorbing potholes and bumps to my taste.
    I haven't got XREAS on pavement comfort even with stupid expensive ELKA 2.5DC shocks.


    Here's the video explaining about my newest lift if that helps.

    If you don't want to change suspension, Maybe you can use spacers like Cornfed and just lift the front maybe an inch or so. But make sure not to damage the hydraulic lines. If any oil leaks that's the end of not only one but 2 shocks that are cross linked.

    Edit -
    Since I haven't try this spacer lift on my Limited I cannot tell much, just an idea. Better take advice from Toyota specialist 4x4shop that is going to do the install.

    Well that is what I want to do just lift the front but when I read that the stock studs are higher then the spacer I was like I don't want to be cutting no factory studs .
