Strut assembly KYB or Bilstein

KYB is OE on a Toyota. I have used these on several cars without an issue. They might be a little stiff at first.

Looking at good quality replacement parts and non dealer labor ($150/hr), you can fix it for 6k. Sway bar links, shock absorber, control arm: $900 in parts (OEM struts, Mevotech Control Arms) + $150 alignment + 5-7 hours of labor.

KYB's are usually a better product and def what I would use between the 2 on my cars.

I installed B6 struts on all four corners, top mounts, end links, and new bump stops. The suspension arms were in good shape and didn't actually need to be replaced. My car has been garage-kept and has 47k miles on it, which might explain why the rubber was in decent shape. My bump stops looked much like yours, and when I took out the front struts, I could compress them with my hands. I was basically riding on the front springs with no dampening. With the new struts, the ride is much better, and the car feels excellent over bumps. The B6 struts aren't super stiff (about 20% stiffer than B4), and the ride is similar to a factory with OEM springs.

Difference with the new b4s was night and day vs the 20 year old ones.

I don't care for stiff springs. And, Bilstein shocks/struts have always been perfect in my vehicles(ride/longevity/handling).

The front suspension is also completely blown out so I was going to replace the struts and rear shocks.

They’ll work on a 2wd but not very well. Ranchos are junk. Spend a tiny bit more and get something better. Bilstein 5100 have been good to me for years on many vehicles.

B4s are trash.

Extended strut in photo is missing a small spacer that goes on top of the piston before you add the first bushing perch, which basically just makes it the same as the standard strut on the left. I switched to the standards because I wanted to lose 1" of lift to bring me down to 2" of front lift. As you can see, there is nothing really "extended travel" about these. The reason for the added 1" of lift is because the perch is higher and adding more preload on the spring. After having these side by side, don't waste your time or money on the extended travel struts. Just get the standard struts, and get the appropriate spring for the weight and lift you want. Extended struts seemingly offer no benefit to down or up travel, and only make the ride harsher by compressing the spring even more.
