Default Bilstein 5100 Part Number

I am looking to change out the suspension on my wife's '04 GX470. I have been reading through threads but have not had any luck. I am looking to maintain stock ride height. I will be swapping the rear airbags for coils. Just need the part numbers for bilstein 5100 for the rear (stock).

Thanks in advance.

front: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...=ATVPDKIKX0DER

someone else might want to confirm but these are the shocks I have saved in my cart on amazon when I found the part numbers from so research. I have not yet done the conversion to these.

I have a pair of rear 4600's (part BIL-24-187558) for sale. I bought them last week, installed them over the last weekend, but i thought they were going to be a bit firmer - they are the same firmness as the stock shocks. I still have them in the car. If you are looking to replace your stock shocks with shocks that will probably last the life of the car with an improved ride, this is a great deal. Full warranty with the original receipt. These will fit GX470, GX460, 4Runner (03-09), and some other Toyota models. $50 each. PM me if interested.

Can someone confirm the Bilstein replacement shocks that was listed above in the thread?

Rear ShockBilstein33-1871742
Front StrutBilstein24-2393702

The rears I see on Amazon but I cannot find that part number for the fronts. Does anyone have the part number for the fronts? Or confirm part numbers? I only want to replace the shocks/struts (non adjustable) but keep the air bags.


Do these Amazon items below work for a stock height 2008 GX470?

I called around off road shops and they confirm that the shocks in the link do work well in the GX470 for non-adjustable replacement. Of course they said other systems like Fox, etc. are much better for off road applications but this is only for street and occasional light off road use.

So I ordered a set along with spring compressors and will be installing next week if I get a chance. Anyone know if there is anything else I need for this swap?

By the way, they said any shock/strut for the 4Runner or FJ that are in the same year range/build should swap out/work with the GX470.
