Oh yes, I did the very next morning after finishing the install. It was severely out of specs for sure!

Some within the first 30days of ownership: - I removed the x-reas system (all 4x shocks leaking after 10 years - much worst the two front ones) and replaced them with Bilsteins 5100's (with about 3/4" lift on the front) - Installed Westin ProMaxx 4" Nerf Step bars - Replaced all interior lights...

Yes! My plan, is to simply buy the Factory TRD Wheels, which I can pick for $200-400 for all 4x of them, and of course get the BF KO2's.

For the $20 or so that each one cost, I felt better putting new ones. All done. Man, the x-reas system was messy: All shocks were leaking, but more so the front ones (here next to the new one): Used the first level up, for about 3/4" or so of "lift" on front, which now makes it...

Thank you guys. An existing forum member "george_tlc" was the one who directed me here to this forum. Looking forward to learning more about my 4Runner and 4x4 in general :)

For the fronts, I will follow your advice and adjust the 5100's to the first setting above normal, for about an .85" lift: Of course got the new KYB tops ready as well: Hope to finish the fronts this morning (Sat) :)

Ok, so removed the x-reas stuff, and done with the rear ones:

Stock ride, 95% townie, pave roads, and one weekend a month light trails while camping with the Boy Scouts. Most people just have a regular car/sedan for campouts, but they get all scratched, scraped, stuck ocasionally, so I after Cub Scouts I got the Suburban. The Suburban has been 100%...

Cool, thanks!

Just got this used (but very well taken care-off) 2010 4Runner Limited. During the pre-purchase inspection, everything checked out, except that the front shocks were leaking. My Limited has the x-reas system, and the shop (and a second mechanic out of Austin) both recommended removing and...

Hi there, new guy to the forum, and new guy to the 4x4 world - 2010 4Runner Limited with 171K miles: Form the pre-purchase inspection, it needs new shocks (front ones already leaking), so I will be replacing the whole x-reas system with Bilsteins 5100's front/back (with no lift).

Gotcha - thanks man. I wasn't absolutely sure where, but now I know :)

Hi there, new 4x4 owner here. Sold this old 2002 Suburban with 230k miles: And got this 10 year old 2010 4Runner limited: I go camping with my son's Cub Scout and Boy Scout troop for several years, and I was getting tired of almost being stuck too many times with the Suburban RWD only - no...

From one newbie to another, welcome :) I am new here as well, with an used (new to me) 2010 4Runner. Still learning how the AWD system works in my limited model.
