2003 4Runner 2WD V8 shocks recommendations?

That's the collar that the spring sits on.

Thanks! Here is a page from the shop manual. The 'strut mount' is the one that said "Front suspension support sub-assembly" here in the diagram?

Yes, what bilstein has pictured in your previous post is just little collar you see on the shock in this photo. You should be able to reuse your strut mounts, top plates

Redid mine last week. My Runner is also 2003 with 141k, so pretty much same age. Spent it's life in FL, so no road salt. The mounts and everything were just fine. In fact, I was surprised that just an oil rag cleaned the springs and most of the parts to shine like new. UCAs, LCAs, Springs, all good.

Thank you! Everybody is out of Bilstein until Aug/Sept!

I found there are rear Bilstein on Amazon but no front. Can I replace just the rear now or am I supposed to replace all front/rear as a set?

Thanks!
