Bilstein 5100 rear install kit

[RCs4Runner]

I ordered 5100s for the rear and one was missing the install kit; see pic below. Do I have to use their hardware or can I use the OEM hardware?

Just use the parts provided by bilstein if you have it. Otherwise the tread pitch of oem and the spacers should be the same.

You can use the factory stuff if you need it buttoned back up but tou shouldn't have any problem getting the seller or bilstein to send you a new kit.

We ran into the same problem when I helped hobson install his lift. We put the stock stuff on so he could get home but Bilstein sent him a new kit pretty quickly IIRC.
