Hello Everyone i recently put my 100 Series in the shop to get the Front CV Axles replaced entirely, but my father made a comment about suspesnion and how it would be a good idea to replace meanwhile it is taken apart. i have it all OEM and no work has been done to it since it came off the assmbly line, 185K Miles a long overdue for a whole new suspension system.
i have looked at these parts so far and looking to get opinions, i tried looking for Posts in this forum regarding recs but couldnt find any for my specific year of LC.
Im also curious if Upper and lower control arms should be replaced at the same time?

I dont do any bouldering or crazy crawling in my truck i mostly take it camping and on road trips, ocasionally i take a remote trail that i know my vehicle can handle but dont need anything overkill for it at the moment.

OME NitroCharger Plus Shocks Rear 63002
OME NitroCharger Plus Shocks Front 63000
OME Torsion Bar Set 303001
OME Rear Coil Springs 2864
OME Front Coil Springs 2865

I Was also looking at Dobinsons 1.5-2″ GS Lift Kit for Toyota Land Cruiser 100 Series / Lexus LX470 1998-2007
GS59-167
GS59-782
GS59-682
Do i Need the Lower Trailing Arms?

Bilstein only carries the Shock Absorber for my year, would it just be better to buy a kit completely from 1 brand rather than buy half of it from one and the other half from another brand?
 
Long overdue for a whole new suspension system doesn't make sense. If you're wanting to replace things to lift it, sure, but if you're planning to keep things stock height and nothing's wrong, not sure what you're looking to accomplish other than replacing things to replace them. Inspect the bushings, tie rods, ball joints, etc and replace/repair as needed, check when the hub was last serviced.

edit - also, for suspension, you don't need to search for year specific, all model 100's have the same suspension set up
