My suggestion is, if you can wait a couple months, hold out for the Dob 223Vs. I couldn't wait, trying to drop mine down quick from a 2.5" lift. My 2865s were just delivered a few minutes ago, I'll try to remember to report back on height & feel when i get them in.. If it doesn't drop in height, i'll be kind of disappointed because I already have 860's just siting in the basement now..

But I am wanting to come down in height, hence me tooling around in this thread, the 2865s just arrived today so we'll see. That said, the shocks are 0-2" and i love them on both vehicles.

Not bad, $500 for shocks vs roughly $450 for OEM (unless someone donates washers to me). Seems like a good upgrade for not much

Another one followed me home. Can we keep it?

OE shocks ~$160.
OE hardware ~$140.
I’m getting ~$300 for OE shocks+hardware…
Seeking advice on shock and rear spring replacement... no lift
When I purchased my truck, the P/O had replaced the shocks with Monroe something or others... they are at least a couple of years old at this point, and they are getting tired. Some recent, heavily loaded road trips and camping trips have made this abundantly clear! I was originally considering...

Unfortunately a lot of the dealers have updated the parts diagrams to specifically call out that they do not include the retainers in the shock price.
McGeorge Toyota as an example of this for pn 48511-69585 (Retainers not included):
If you look around you can still find some that have not updated it and show the retainers as included. I had luck in the past ordering a set of shocks like this and got the washers for free since the listing shows it as included.

Admittedly it’s been a while since I looked, but the links in the post I referred to, still seem pretty close in price. I’d check the usual suspects, PartSouq, McGeorge, your local Toyota dealer.
While Internet Toyota discount parts houses normally rape you on shipping, I’d assume that you’d still be within reason of aftermarket equivalent shipping.
Will say, the Eibachs rode better than the new 2865s and only dropped about an inch. Getting the KO2s off has made this thing like driving a Porsche compared to before. Also, I haven't been to the gas station in about 7 days and still have over a 1/4 in there.
