Want to put Stock Suspension back on but think I'm missing some Parts

Alright so over the past couple years I've been trying to sell my truck but no one in my area is interested in a 2wd truck. Especially when it costs as much as a 4wd taco. So I've decided instead to keep my X but would like to put the stock suspension back on. My question is where can I find stock suspension parts? I have the stock shocks and springs but think I'm missing the stock U shaped brackets to take the drop blocks off the back. Maybe someone has some lying around? I know going to the dealer could cost me a fortune for these. Thanks!

The rear u bolts you can pick up at any local parts store. What kind of drop are you running?

I have a XII drop springs in the front and 2" drop blocks in the rear. Also have some 3" drop blocks but truck dosn't drive very well with 3" blocks. bottoms out sometimes and you get a little wheel hop when you step on it around a corner

I actually went and insured my truck today so I can't take the suspension apart and wait for parts but I'll have the drop kit up for sale as soon as I get around to swapping everything. Thanks though man

Rockauto has x runner front springs for 70 bucks a pair. Get them and a set of u bolts from an auto parts store and you're back to stock.

Thanks guys. I think I just need the U-Bolts for the rear. Still have the Springs. Only thing I can't remember is which spring goes on which side. One of the springs has a red marking on it

Flip them upside down and put them side by side. The little taller one will go on the drivers side.

I'll let you know as soon as I get around to swapping the suspension. I work in Vernon a lot. We can meet up there sometime after I've got all the parts off if you want. $200 for the full kit. I have 2" and 3" blocks if you want to go lower in the back but to warn you the ride is much better with the 2" blocks.

For sure. I'll let you know as soon as its ready for you. Just need to find the right u-bolts for the rear suspension. Toyota dealer didn't know which bolts fit the X-Runner. I should be able to just measure them though

1/2inch u bolt. 3 inches wide. And 8 inches long will work.
