Compatibility of Timbren Rubber Jounce Springs # TTORSEQ With Toyota X-REAS Suspension System

Question:

Will the Timbren Front/rear Suspension improve the ride of my 2005 4runner sports edition. My suv has the XREAS technology.

The X-REAS suspension technology in your 2005 Toyota 4Runner links the front and rear shock's compression chambers to help dampen overall suspension motion as well as diagonal pitch and roll.

Addition of a set of Timbren jounce springs # TTORSEQ will provide rear axle load support but these do not engage unless the vehicle is heavily loaded. A rubber jounce spring does nothing to the ride quality if the vehicle is unloaded. This is one of their key advantages: unless you need them they stay out of the way.

Kit # TTORSEQ fits both 2WD ad 4WD versions and its installation is shown in the linked video. The linked article on Timbren spring may be of interest to you.
