Default Front suspension and shock question

Going to have the front shock and springs replaced along with the upper and lower control arms with ball joints and front sway bar. Any bolts and nuts I should also pick up? Exact part numbers or links would be great!! Thanks

Just so you know you can replace with struts that fit 4runner instead for much cheaper, you will lose the electronic stiffness control (comfort/sport mode) but its not actually that noticeable or useful in the first place sp the savings and availability of the non electronic version is worth it for most, I know you lilely already have some other upgrade or replacement fpr the stock struts, but if you were planning on replacing with stock it is something to consider. New struts should come with new bolts and other than that there is control arm nuts and others that could be replaced if need be, but maybe inspect them for wear to decide, I kmow some of the nuts in the assembly you should use thread locker or locktite on when replacing.
