I was never given the proper chance. Finances at this point in my life are forcing me into a more cost effective vehicle to own.
Thanks for all the support and this is a great forum. But I have gone the way of 4Runner. Perhaps someday I will return.
Cheers.

Good decision.You knew when to cut losses. If you ever come back, switch to coil springs and get one with proper conversion.
I still don't understand why some people act insulted when I suggest the conversion. In my short time with X, I've noticed that it's just about one of the most common problems and often money pit.
While there are some benefits to air suspension, it's definitely not the financial one in the long run if you keep the X.
