    I am going to be replacing the X-REAS shocks on my 2019 Limited. I am thinking of going with Bilstein 5100's. I did a 5100 upgrade on my 2021 TRD and kept the factory coil-overs which worked out nicely.

    My question is does the X-REAS coil-overs use the same factory springs as the TRD OR? Would I get the same results if I reuse the X-REAS coil-overs as I did with the TRD? Or do I need to also order a set of TRD OR springs?

    I replaced my X-REAS and used factory springs with 5100's with great results.

    As far as I understand if you need any lift in the back you should use a longer spring or spacer on top of the stock spring. I could be wrong, check with a 4x4 shop. I used a spacer in the rear with Bilstien5100.

    Just keep in mind Bilstien5100 with not be comfy as XREAS.

    Thanks! Yes I know the ride will be different - I am looking to get a ride similar to my TRD OR. That's why I am wondering if the factory coil-over springs - spring rates are the same for a TRD OR and a Limited with X-REAS. I am also going to do a slight .8" front level.

    I replaced XREAS with 5100s set at .85" and it rides fantastic. I have stock springs and I couldn't be happier for a daily setup that is 80-90% on the road. It's a very comfortable, and was a big improvement over my leaking XREAS.
