If you're planning on installing our lift and have over 100k-150k miles on your struts AND are noticing poor driving/handling characteristics, now is an ideal time to consider replacing them since you will be removing them in order to install our lift. If you aren't noticing symptoms of worn out suspension (bouncy/rough ride, excessive body roll, excessive nose dive under hard braking, etc.) we would suggest using your existing suspension until it NEEDS to be replaced. Reason being is that the factory parts your car came with are significantly higher quality than anything we have yet to find in the aftermarket. That being said, OEM parts directly from your Toyota dealer are going to be the highest quality for your vehicle since your vehicle was designed around them. However, there is no "complete strut" option from the factory that includes everything you need which means you will need to order every component separately. this can be very time consuming, labor intensive, and expensive...therefore, if you are looking for a simpler and more cost efficient option we recommend KYB strut assemblies. *PLEASE SEE KYB FITMENT ISSUE NOTICE AT BOTTOM OF OUR FAQ PAGE* These have been the closest thing to OEM we have been able to find while still being offered in a complete strut assembly. We do not sell shocks/struts, however www.amazon.com www.ebay.com www.shocksurplus.com www.tirerack.com are great options for purchasing.
