    Just ordered the DJM 3/4 drop for my 2nd Gen 5 lug.
    I'm replacing the original dead front struts with whatever high quality OEM replacement I can find. I got a suggestion for Bilstein brand over KYB and Monroe. Unfortunately I called around to all the distributors and only the drivers side is available and the passenger side is no ETA back ordered from Bilstein. Can anyone chime in on what struts they went with and how was the ride quality (subjective) or longevity? I'm not opposed to just buying OEM struts if it comes down to it, but I'm sure there might be better options.
    Thank you.

    Didn't realize how cheap the x-runner stock Bilsteins were. my Toyota dealer at them for $70 bucks each. I just went with those. crazy.

    Alternative to bilstien 4600 is KYB gas-a-just. Xrunners sound like a cool choice, didn't even think of it.
