    I just ordered a set of front shocks and coils and i was wondering what other hardware i may need when i do the swap. The truck has 210,000 miles on the original front suspension so im thinking that any bushings, etc are probably shot as well. Its a 2002 dc if that matters. The rubber piece above the coil looks pretty squished and is the only thing that i can see that is obviously bad. Any advice would be appreciated!

    toytec sells bushing kits. but it ends up being like 30+ which is kind of an outrageous price for what you get. But when I did my front end i couldn't find anything else.

    I also bought new top plates from rock auto.

    Basically allowed me to assemble completely new strut assemblies and just take out the old ones and pop the new ones in

    Gabriel part #142467 sold at Amazon, you will need one for each shock. This is only for the 5100's.
