In this videos we show you how to remove the old suspension on our 4th gen 4runner. We replaced it with Bilstiens 5100 shocks with old man emu springs 886/895. We went with a more heavy duty spring just due to the amount of weight that will be put into this rig as we build it up. There is no more break dive and it honestly handles really well for having no weight to the 4runner. This 4runner suspension mod is a great way to change the performance and appearance of your ride! Thank you all for watching!!

I removed XREAS from my 5th Gen LE and replaced it with the basically the same setup here, 5100’s with springs to give it a 2.5” lift. No regrets! I love the 5100’s.
Super solid choice for the price. Live it!!
I have an 06 4Gen Sport that I put the Bilstein's on. I bought it 2 years ago with 62,800 miles on it, going on 81,000 almost. My problem, the frame is bad and I'm having it replaced with a Southern Frame. That's the only downfall to buying in the NE.
Yea we tried to stay as south as possible. Low miles though that’s awesome
I can't wait for the final results Jon. Kep up the good work.
Thanks man!! I hope it surprises you all with how awesome it will be!!
Looks great, can't wait to see it completed. Thanks for sharing 👍
Always!! That’s for the support!!
Thanks you jon.... i just installed my bumper from c4 fab.... im looking for suspension to put it on. This video helped me alot.
Awesome!! Definitely some beefy springs to help hold that thing up!
We are doing the exact same lift, tires and wheels upgrade to our 2004 black sport edition 4x4 V8 4Runner. We bought it new in 2003; it has 177,000 miles on it. It’s had three timing belts, two water pumps and brakes. I just ordered Bilstien 5100 shocks and struts. We ordered 17 x 9 Fuel Sledge wheels and 265-70-17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I replaced the suspension three years ago with KYB struts and springs, and shocks. I’m only going with a one-inch lift in the front with the 1500 Bilstien. Anymore front lift, I would think I would have to drop the front differential. I don’t want that stress on the front axels because it is 4WD all the time. We love your channel!
Thanks!!! Sounds like yours is gonna be killer!!!
@@TRDJon I’ll post some pictures on Instagram for you to see. @twinsdad74
Looks good so far! Can’t wait to see what this rig will look like once it’s fully built.
Thanks!!! It’s gonna be sweet!!!
Awesome!
I was thinking of either the Bilstein 5100's all around for my 5th gen, or 6112 up front and 5100 rear, using stock springs. I won't be getting front or rear bumpers. Just ride height and replacing with better shocks.
Go for it! You'll be solid then! Just be careful with the springs if doing it yourself
@@TRDJon thanks! Looking forward to more content
Thanks !!!
It looks good with the stock rims.
Already in love with it. Can't wait to see more!!!
More coming!!!
Looking great!! One question: is “ tire swinging thingamagiggy” a technical term? 😂😂
Uh yes HAHAHHA
y’all made this look so easy 😂
Wow!! look great and waiting for another mod John.
Will be on today hopefully!!!
Looks great so far
Nice! Followed your Instagram story and was excited to see the process!
More coming today too
@@TRDJon #swoon
Looks good so far
Appreciate it man! Hoping to make it very cool and practical!
I've got 5100s and rear springs waiting to go in, gonna get front springs so I dont have to change the perch. Awesome to see how it looks, also thinking about doing the break lines!
Yea it looks and rides solid for sure!!
@@TRDJon thinking of doing 885 or 886, gonna get a front coastal offroad bumper over the summer!
It will be a tad bumpy if the roads are bad, but it’s honestly solid without the weight with the springs. Good luck!!
@@TRDJon thanks so much!
I removed XREAS on my 5th Gen Limited at 2K miles. Wish you got adjustable suspension. My 5th gen TRD ORP is with OME and waiting for Dual Adjustable Elka. Its a looong wait but my 4x4 shop say its worth the wait vs something like Kings with single adjustable.
Yea I wish we had the time to wait but big plans for this and it just needs to get done.
@@TRDJon yeah, its a long wait. I ordered in August and still waiting. Even if it arrives there will be a minimum 1 month wait time at my 4x4 shop to get an appointment. I really hope the big money and long wait is worth to have "Cadillac like ride quality" as my shop says.
Lemme know man!!
I have damn near 280k on the xreas, slowly getting misc suspension parts in before ripping that crap xreas out
I've got to upgrade the rear springs and break lines too. I've already installed the Bilstein 5100 and very satisfied. Been following your channel since I also own a 4 and 5 gen 4RUNNER. Hopefully you'll do a video on interior, front headlights and rear taillights for the 4 gen.
I definitely will be!! Thank you! Yea the springs are definitely gonna come in handy
This is a Japanese SUV not an American so I believe it’s a 19mm, a 19 inch wrench is something you might find on those huge mining excavation mover dump trucks
I’m pretty sure it’s 19” 😒
TRD JON that’s what she said
Dang!!! Looking good!!!
Thanks man!!!
Literally getting my 4runners Bilstein lift and tires put on right now
You'll love it!!!
@@TRDJon hope so
@@tytyler6858 how you like it so far?
what did that cost you? thinking about doing it to mine
Looks great !
It’s coming along!!
Looking good 👍
Thanks 👍
Semper Fi devil!!
Oorah
Good job 👍
Thanks!! It’s coming along!
Good video!
Thanks!!
Brake hose* That is cool that they can make hoses in house
Super cool! Very easy as well
Make it look so easy especially when you’ve got a 4runner that clean lol. I’ve got a 4th gen v8 Lim not even 80k miles yet and this things cleaner than mine lol
damn really????? Low miles!!
Yeah man! she’s 79k now.. have debated selling it and getting a 5th gen..but bought it from a family member/has some sentimental value to me...it’s been a great rig..completely stock at the moment. Looking at doing either Bilstein or Eibach stage 1 lift next..And tires...is the Bilstein lift still treating you well??
Yep it was great and our winner loves it as well!!
I’m sure this has been asked but there’s not a lot of information online about this. What are the 5100 notch perch set at?
Dude’s wearing Crocs around a garage! Wow. Can’t wait for a shock to drop down onto top of his “safety” shoes. 😂
Never heard of steal toe crocs?
Do you have to change those bump stops when you life these 3”?
Great video thank you sir👍
Hope it helped!
Can i use stock uca for this exact same build
DOBINSONS⭐️
Did you need front extended brake lines?
Also did you get any lean driver or passenger side without a spacer added?
Thank you for this great content!!
We notched the driver side is a little more for that lien. And no We did not extend the brake lines in the front at all
New sub! Great Channel!
Thank you!!!!
Hey man! i have a 05 v8 4runner, I was planning on getting the same set up, only thing I am worried about is the 886 in the front, i have a offroad front bumper which weighs about 120 pounds, how do you find the ride? would you recommend getting 885s? Thanks!
It was pretty comfy. We but a bumper on this 4r as well
@@TRDJon cool! how was the 886 without the bumper? and how were the 895's? would u recommend going heavy all around so 886/896?
-Thanks!
I wish I had a lift.
So buy one lol
@@TRDJon I think my condo association would not approve.
Nice looking lift, I hated the Sport XREAS suspension, it was so damn stiff, especially as it aged. Ugh
A lot better driving now for sure
I have a 06 4runner with Bilstein 5100’s front and back with OME 2884 for the front. What notch would you install the clip and seat for the front and what setting did you set the SPC upper control arms at. My 4runner is a 2wd, v6.
Mahalo, Steven
Or what OME springs would you recommend for the front. Want to run 285/70r17’s as well
You should've gone with 6100 at the front if you are going to put a lot of weight on the rig.
The springs are pretty heavy duty. We will see though once the bumper goes on
@@TRDJon that's what my friend installed in his 5th gen same set-up as yours but with the 6100s at the front. If you are putting heavy duty springs up front might as well put heavy duty shocks too.
Good choice on the lift and UCAs.
Great value.
Sell the 5th Gen.
Very budget friendly for sure!! I’m not gonna lie and say it hasn’t crossed my mind these last few weeks.
Seriously??? Between the Tundra and this maybe you'll be building up older Toyotas. Congrats on the ride!
Thanks!! Trying to get the tundra going as well. It’s in limp mode unfortunately
I have a 2006 4runner 4WD, I have factory. I drive on ruff washboard roads and pot hole gravel roads daily at least 10-30 miles a day. This is my every day driver. I am looking at the Bilstein 6112 in the front, 5160 in back with some new springs to hold a better load in rear I carry alot of tools. Would this be a good set up. Any suggestions. So far the kit is around 1500.00 I am going to install myself and have a alignment done after.
Yea would be perfevt for that
So is there a spot for me to already put the rear springs? Like do I just put it on the bump stops?
If you weren't going to add all the weight, which OME springs would you use front and rear?
884s. I believe in the video he uses 886s for the heavy weight upgrades. Hopefully it's not a year too late lol
Is it necessary to get longer brake lines for a 1 1/2 in lift in the back and 2 1/2 in front ?
No it is not
I would drive my 4runner to where you guys are from and pay you to do the exact same suspension on mine.... thoughts?
Yotamafia does installs 👍🏼
@@TRDJon where are they based out of?
I hate to ask this, but who really owns the 4runner?
Title is under an LLC for the collaboration 👍🏼
@@TRDJon So after the collab, who takes it home?
Hey Jon did you by chance use the 1/2 lean spacers? I see that yotamafia has them on the suspension that you used as an option. If you didn't is there a reason why?
Thanks!
I don't think we did.
Is it more comfortable than stock ?
Oh yes
Let say I went one step down in springs because I'm not adding weight would it still give me the same height? Or is it higher because of the more heavy duty springs?
Yes it will. Due to the notch we set the actual shock at 👍🏼👍🏼
@@TRDJon Did you install the 10mm spacer to the front passenger to correct the driver's side lean?
I honestly didn’t notice any lean
where is is garage tho?
5:30... the forbidden fleshlight
Which OME's did u go with on the rear
Did you have to replace the control arms?
Yes with SPC
Did you guys have any issues with the tires rubbing after the lift kit?
Before the alignment yes but not much after
what kinda tires you gonna go with?
Bfg 👍🏼👍🏼
How to convert 2wd to 4wd 4runner 2003 sr5
Hello, I can get these parts from yotamafia website but I have no skills to install nor the place.
I do not know anyone locally in HB where I live. Can anyone recommend a place in Huntington Beach that can be trusted for this job. Any thoughts/advice would be much appreciated.
are you running 895E or just 895s on the rear? trying to figure out how much lift i need in the rear to level out with a 2.5 inch lift in the front.
and also we’re you running the 5mm trim spacers?
Did you make the front brake hoses longer also?
Did not
@@TRDJon ok I was wondering I only raised mine 1 inch. I did it even jack up the frame to let the suspension travel to its full length and check brake lines. You would think I would being an ASE mechanic. Thank you
Where is yotamafia located?
Holt Florida
Hey @TRD Jon - What size tires did you end up putting on this?
295/70/17
Is it a requirement to lengthen the brake line when installing the three inch lift kit?
No it isn't this is just for when you REALLY flex out the truck
Blistein 5100 are better than x-reas spension??
Allows you to lift it more and not have issues with hydro in the future.
What’s the part number for the springs?
Check the description 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thoughts on deleting RAS?
RAS?
@@TRDJon rear air suspension on the limiteds
@@TRDJon I've replaced the sensors found some for cheap from Russia.
But it intermittently faults still, my scanner can't scan it.
Have you done one? I read you need to buy perches and FJ springs?
Hi Guys, Thanks for the video. I'm struggling with my situation on my 4Runner. I've got a 2005 Toyota Sport w/ that X-REAS Suspension. I would like to replace that without the X-REAS. The Bilsteins you show in this video. Will the 5100 and OME Coils work for my model? I would do a full kit assembly. I just need some guidance as the NET is taking me all over the place. I'll be doing the replacement on my own as well since I don't have the money for Professional Labor. You also mentioned replacing the upper control arms. Do I have to do that when I purchase and install the Bilstein 5100's and EMO Coils.
I appreciate your time. Regards, - Edgar
Ours had the xreas. I show in the video how to take the suspension out and remove that system. Also you don’t need upper control arms, but it is highly recommended
@@TRDJon thanks for the reply. Can you possibly share with me where to purchase the full front and rear assembly?
It’s in the video description
Hi ! What’s are upper control arms good for ?
Allows you to properly adjust the alignment of you car and also helps with tire rebound
What are you going to break??? LOL Sorry... I couldn't help myself.
GEEZE NOW somebody tells me
@@TRDJon I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help. The check is in the mail... and all the other lies. LOL
😂😂😂
Soup or salad? Wait wut? lol
That looks more than 2.5”
It's a decent bit. We needed to put the UCA's on too to help out
