Okay, sorry for bringing this whole thread back to the top, but i was wondering:

Will those kits that are linked on the first page fit on an 06? or is it different?

 

the kits will fit any year xb

 

Any xB. like Dux said.

Mine is an 06 btw.

 

Awesome, i will be ordering them tomorrow then. Thanks!

 

Which kit are you planning on ordering?

 

i ordered just the rear kit this morning shown here:
http://www.gravity-werx.com/index.as...TS&Category=91

But i got an e-mail saying that they are updating the kit. Here is part of the e-mail i got from them.

so the one im getting might be a little different.. ill take pics when it gets here in the next couple of weeks.

 

I had heard they were redesigning the kit, but haven't seen the new design yet. I honestly think you would be better off ordering a set of "2500#" bags ($50-$75 each) and bag brackets from FBI ($100). This system has proven to be the most reliable, cost effective system for the xB. It will cost you less money, and you will have a proven system. And if you really like dealing with Gravity Werx, you can still buy the bags from them.

Also, when you are looking at buying the front kit, go with Gauge Magazine. They have the best price on it and you can get it for even less by using "frmember" as your discount code.

I am anxious to see how Airlift has revised their design though. It would be interesting to see if they have moved to a convoluted bag instead of the sleeve.

 

Thanks for all the info, i will definately be using all of it. The prices on gauge magazine are very good, that should push my plans along a little faster! As soon as i get the updated rear kit, i will post some pictures.

 

A little bird told me the new rear kit runs regular convoluted air bags. Its a shame they don't read scionlife. They could have figured out a year ago that their design sucked.

I'd also vouche for gauge, the only aftermarket company that I would do that for, their service is top notch.

 

The kit i ordered from Gravity just shipped out today finally. and it looks like i got about 500 back on my taxes, so i will be ordering the front kit very soon. Thanks again for all the info guys!

 

Cool, i wish i could do the same soon

 

WOW it's been a looooonnnnggggg time. I thought i would've had this done before summer but finally it's here lol.

So i got my front kit in last week ($487 shipped gauge-store). And my 3/8" SMC valves are coming in Tuesday (x4). So this is what's happening Wednesday since i'm off:



I can't wait ^_^


Once again this is going to be a rushed (but careful) installation. I'm going to a show next Saturday in Jacksonville (about 6~7 hour drive for me) and i'm not going to be able to fully clean up my install. I will be adding 2 more gauges to my original one for the rear, and 2 more valves for the rear ... plus a new tank, and hiding it all so it's not exposed in my hatch area. That should all be done 2 weeks into August

 

Lookin' good man. And a nice little diagram for yourself as well.

I would highly encourage first timers to do the same type of thing for their installation. Diagramming it all out really helps to eliminate the problems of missing / forgotten parts.

 

Yea i wish i would've diagram'd the first part of my install, makes it a lot easier :D

 

Well after an $86 Parker Store visit (14 fittings, 30ft 3/8" DOT air-line), i just finished installing the air struts and running 25ft of 3/8" airline (inside), and 80ft~ of wiring for the front 4 valves and switchs >_<; The possitive camber is killing me, i know i can get another 1"+ drop in the front, but i can't let it down all the way. I'll have to get the cusco plates soooon

 

Here's some pics of the front bagged. These were taking at Sibling Rivalry 2.0 thrown by Scion Evo North Fla ... in Jacksonville, FL.

This is before i installed my Cusco camber plates up front, and my RS*R axle-back. I'll get newer pics up of the front camber once i get my toe aligned and my fender liners removed.



With my camber plates now and my toe a little less off i can drop the front another 1" or so ... once i get my alignment and my fender liners out i'm guessing i'll be between 1-2" off the ground up front

 

what size wheels are those? they look pretty huge!

 

how did you install your cusco camber plates?

 

[F: 18x7.5 +38] [R: 18x8.5 +35]

Just look big cause the B is dumped on top of them i guess?

 

I bought them from MyBox for $285 shipped. That's how much he charges for the Cusco's with air-ride bushings. He sends 2 bushings so that you can use the nut that came with your ES struts. You can't use the center bushing/nut that comes with the cusco's because the ES strut's bolt thing is thicker then the stock strut's, so the bushing/nut from the Cusco's won't fit over it.

I actually took a bunch of pictures of the Cusco's i got and the bushing thing to show what i'm talking about, i'll have to post them up when i get them off my camera

Here's a thread about the Cusco install with Air-Ride:

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=124678

most of them had the Cusco bushing/nut re-tapped to fit the ES struts ... but MyBox said he's been running on the setup he sells since 04 with no problems so i'm going with that

btw, nice xB! Is that the Top Line kit?? I wish i had one
