Front strut assembly for double cab

I have a 2004 pre-runner V6 double cab. Does anybody make a front strut assembly for a double cab?

I found several online but they all specify only regular and extended cab. The only ones I find for double cab are strut only, not the assembly.

thanks

 

Same strut for single cab, xtra cab, double cab and 3rd gen 4runner

 

You can use any quick strut assembly. They all fit physically. I'd pick one from a 4wd extended cab. The spring rate would probably be similar to your prerunner double cab.

 

Good point about the spring rate. Thanks guys.

 

I looked at the specs of the recommended shocks on the Monroe website and while the strut assemblies may all be the same size, the shock that goes in them vary greatly.

The 71351 is used on the 4wd base double cab and the rwd pre-runner double cab (mine). Model 71352 is used on the 4wd base regular and extended cabs, the rwd pre-runner regular and extended cabs. Model 37111 is used on all rwd base models regardless of cab.

As the image shows, the compressed, extended and travel lengths vary by a fairly wide amount. If i pick the 71352, the extended length and travel are about 2" longer than what i have now. Is this a bad idea? Will it work fine? Any suggestions?

 

The new linear rate springs I put in the front of my DC were actually a bit shorter than original TRD progressive springs. They were advertised as stock height, and they were after fitting. To say this- length of spring doesn't matter a whole lot when determining ride height. If they advertise them as stock replacement, they are going to be really close.

 

What did you do and how did it turn out?

I am considering "Monroe" for a stock replacement... any thoughts? I can purchase for much less than the "stock Bliestein " Strut/shock....

 

From what I read here in many posts, the Monroes are not high quality so I passed on them. I bought a set of the Bilstein 5100s from Wheeler's Offroad and some

$169 Moog 81082 Coil Spring Set

Moog 81082 front springs along with new top plates, stem cushions and washers. I found a local shop who assembled them for $30 and installed them myself.

I never owned the truck new so I don't have anything to compare against, but now the ride is noticeably quieter & smoother.

 

Interesting.... how hard was that to install? I've watched a few videos....

Thanks

 

It was actually pretty easy to install. I probably should have watched a video or two. It took me an hour to figure out how to get one rear shock on. Once I figured out that you had to use a bottle jack between the leaf spring and frame to force the rear down enough to get the lower shock bolt to line up it was a piece of cake. I needed the bottle jack to push down the upper control arm to get the strut assembly in as well. Altogether I probably spent 2 hours on it.
