    Just bought a used 2000 tundra access cab 4wd with TRD off road package. Has oem upper control arms and upper ball joints, moog lower control arms and lower ball joints, rough country 2.5 front struts and 2.0 rear shocks and blocks. I want to go back to stock with all of it. I could buy it all new from the dealer for $3000 but it’s more of a beater that I will use a couple snow days in the winter or maybe a dump run so used parts are ok too. Shoot me pics, parts numbers, prices and location. Near Sacramento/ Tahoe / Bay Area would be ideal. Thanks! I may consider a trade for all the rough country stuff. Retails for about $600. I have aftermarket upper control arms still in the box. I will edit and add name later I forget.

    Should be all you need to go back to stock shocks.

    Same as OE. Just need to get new OEM lower ball joints so you don't end up with your wheel stuffed in your fender. Get shorter u-bolts and get rid of the blocks.

    Are your control arm bushings worn out or what's up with them?

    UCA are original to vehicle. LCA are Moog and a yr old. 262k miles. I could replace bushings or just install old control arms with worn bushings. It is not a daily driver. New control arms would be cool but they are $250 each and I am trying not to go that route for this vehicle.

    Jason might still have my old LCA’s if he kept ‘em. Hit up speed freak on TW (note the space).

    If your lowers are not worn out as is then run them. Just change the lower ball joints with new OEM from a legitimate Toyota parts department, either online or in person dealership (the latter will be more expensive probably).

    Unless you're having problems with the UCAs just run them as is as well. Maybe replace the upper ball joint if you're worried about it. Failures there are less common though.

    Nice. I don't think I've ever seen replacement oem coils, or any coils preassembled to 4600's

    Yeah I think they must be recent because I've looked for others before and I could never find them. Someone linked to them the other day and it was the first time I had seen them.

    Must've been someone trying to help that "Trucks" guy that was freaking out about trying to find 4600 coils a couple days back

    I bought that package listed above, thanks again. The Moog LCAs will be coming off. I am a dealer tech and don’t put aftermarket parts on my vehicles normally. So yes still need Toyota LCAs. Thanks for your replies!
