My 2004 4th Gen Toyota 4Runner ("Alfred") has the original X-REAS suspension system with 232k miles. In preparation of a Freedom Off-Road lift kit installation, I am deleting the X-REAS components. In this video I'm showing the process I used to disconnect and isolate the shocks/struts from the interconnecting hydraulic lines and center control absorbers. I did not remove the shocks/struts at this time. I will do that in the lift kit install videos.

It is possible to do this without lifting all 4 wheels at once. I worked on opposing corners (Passenger FR/Driver RR, etc) by placing a jack stand at the frame lift points and only removing the wheel for the hydraulic connection I was disconnecting.

If you would like a copy of the 5-page Toyota Service Manual section on the "X-REAS (Relative Absorber System)" leave your email in a comment.
