Anyone go back to stock shocks from aftermarket?

I figured instead of starting a new post I would jump on this thread with my issue.... hope that is ok!
I recently bought my wife a 2013 Limted 4R. The X-Reas system must be shot as it is awful to drive. Feel every little bump/crack in the road. I watched a video on removing the X-Reas system which is what I intend to do. The local Toyota dealership quoted me $1750 to replace the system with a stock suspension. I found that outreagous and plan to do it on my own... I hope.
I bought a used setup(pics are in picture album as I couldn't figure out how to attach them to this post) off a 2019 Sr5 with only 33,000 miles. I noticed it is missing the top piece(shock mount, front suspension support, mounting plate??? seen it called all three of these). My question is can I use that piece from the exsisting OEM X-Reas suspension or is it different? Thanks so much for any help!!

I had a 2016 TRD Pro with the stock bilsteins, I took them off and went bp-51, then that truck was totaled and now I have a stock TRD Off-road (stock suspension). The bp-51s were adjustable; when mostly on road I'd stiffen them up for handling and they were great, but could make them cushy and floaty if I wanted. However, fiddling with adjusting them for the road and then off-road was kind of a pain. The original TRD Pro suspension was probably the best all-around and in hindsight I would probably leave them (and the Fox version of the TRD Pro is apparently better). The current fully stock suspension is stiffer than the Pro suspension and if I wasn't planning to go GX at some point soon I'd probably upgrade it to something else (maybe just TRD Pro Fox suspension, maybe bp-51s again)
