Suspension refresh kit?

Is there anyone who sells a package deal on OEM or aftermarket+ suspension parts to refresh a 4th gen? Shocks, ball joints, control arms, bushings, etc?

Just picked up an 04 that has some clunking and doesnt track like it should and would like to get it back to 100%. Would consider a lift kit if that makes it easier.

I'm not aware of anything comprehensive. I'm in a similar situation and there's a lot to consider. How much to do, whether to do OEM or aftermarket parts, how much you can spend, etc.

I've decided, based on the condition of my specific suspension, to do a full lift kit (OME or Dobinson's) front and rear and new Toyota lower control arms.

Could I also do UCAs? Could I replace bushings and ball joints instead of full LCA's? Could I replace rear control arm bushings? Yes to all of these, but some of that may come in another round.

It's no that difficult to put together a "kit" on your own. Lots of threads with part numbers, etc. The hard part seems to me to be deciding how much to do and what to do first.

When my 4runner hit 200k, I replaced the original shocks with some 5100s using the stock coils. I replaced the outer tie rod ends, front and rear sway bar end links and bushings.
The car drives so much better. All clunks are gone, front end feels super tight. The ball joints and LCA bushings were fine, no play or creaking there.
It drives like a new car.

Edit: OEM tie rod ends, Moog end links and Energy suspension poly bushings from RockAuto, all this including 5100s ran around $500 in parts

Hit up ebay user "royalsouthtoyotascion" on ebay, they'll assemble any kit you want of OEM parts and cut a discount for you. They're my second closest dealer but by far the best parts department, especially online. Or their online parts catalog https://www.royalsouthparts.com/

BUTTTTT when I buy lots of OEM parts, I get them from Partsouq.com expensive shipping from UAE but usually cheaper overall.
