Search for a OEM set, like this one
Amazon Amazon

And this set from ebay (hong kong, not sure if knock-offs or not) which looks like the fronts will allows the actuator to attach, but confirm before buying, only 1set left!
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Rear-...pid=1178035554

Way to many options beyond OEM (dynamic shocks).

I just lifted my GX470 and I still have the front coil overs In one piece (spring & shock ) with the ride control sensor... I can double check my service records but I believe they have about 35k miles on them so you should be good for another 75k plus. DM me if interested I’ll give you a good deal. I can also send you photos and service history when they where installed. Cheers.
