    Hey everybody, brand-new here!

    I have a 2018 Limited 4WD.

    Seeking recommendations for a good shop to completely remove the XREAS components from my truck, install a new conventional suspension, and adjust the alignment.

    I am planning to replace the XREAS stuff (which has started seeping at ~80k miles) with a basic set-up from Old Man Emu. Had good experience with this same suspension on my 2000 Tacoma, 1997 LR Disco, and 1996 Land Cruiser. Already have a source for the parts.

    I am located about 25 miles northeast of Sacramento, CA.

    If you don't want a lift I'd say keep the XREAS till it leaks.

    Basic OME = I think you are talking about OME Sport Nitro (the yellow) ones. That would be night and day compared to XREAS. So far I haven't experienced anything good as XREAS on pavement.

    If you go high-end suspension in terms of leaks you are in a similar situation or worse. They will leak as high-end suspension have a recommended service interval normally around 30K - 50K miles.

    If you are looking for lift and better offroad performance then it would be worth looking aftermarket.

    Just a thought based on my experience with those OME nitro sports shocks. I don't hate them. 100% awesome for rough duty.
