San Diego, eh? Let us know when, I may be able to join you guys.

 

Biff-
You got very lucky my friend. I busted one of my speed/wheel sensors way back and had to eat the $180...I never tried the dearler, thinking they would just laugh at me...glad to see you had luck on your side. Again, to re-iterate to every who is planning lifts on the 4th gens, be extremely careful with both the front abs lines and the wheel sensors. Good luck all, cant wait to see these rides.

Billy,

Whats more expensive the ABS lines, or the speed Sensors?

 

Speed sensors: $180 retail each
ABS Lines: $42 retail each

Where are the speed sensors located? I don't remember we touched anything when we did the lift. In fact Lance, and I were extra careful when we got around the ABS lines, but never knew we even came in contact with the speed sensor.

 

If these rotten lines are so sensitive and so easy to break. Aren't they very vulnerable on the trails? A stray rock or branch can knock it out of commission. If these things break, is the vehicle still driveable?

 

 

timber - I think you'll be surprised when you start working around xreas lines ... you'll see that they are far sturdier than it sounded in the beginning. I'm not saying you should play tug-o-war with them, just that you shouldn't have any problems if you're just generally careful - as with all the parts on your truck.

 

timber doesn't have xreas so the install should be relatively easy. We won't be taking any of the ball joints off as that is not needed

therefore, damaging the sensors should be avoided.

 

So how is the ride with the revtek? Its gotta be a little stiffer since the springs are loaded a tad more???

 

I dunno about the other guys, but I love it on mine. It is a little stiffer, but I actually like that. I have XREAS, and it is still noticeable even with the lift.

 

As long as it is stiffer...

 

My rig seems to be better with the lift, smoother even. When I make turns the car just seems to move with the turn. I think the lift enhances the XREAS suspension.

 

That is interesting. I felt the same way about my GC when I put the 2 inch "budget boost" on it. Same concept too - coil spacers.

Does anyone know what, if any, wheel travel is gained (or lossed) with the revtek?

 

Thta's good news, the no XREAS ride , to me, is a tad soft - this may be just what I was looking for

 

For me the non-XREAS is perfect, but then again, I never drove XREAS equipped 4runner.

It just never crossed my mind that I wanted the XREAS, because of the long-term cost of replacement and maintenance. I would imagine that most people will end up replacing the XREAS with the regular shocks (due to cost) once they wear out.

I had a Lincoln with air shocks, and the cost of replacing two was $1000. That was more than the value of the car.

Just my thoughts and probably a minority view too.

 

You are probably right, if I ever need to replace the shocks I will go with the regular kind and ditch the system.
