I'd consider the KONI STRT if available for the 2012.
Rears I did the KYB and am pleased.
I had KYBs, they’re nice for the price.
I have KYB AGX in the front and then just Bilsteins in the rear with Steeda lowering springs. I got a crazy discount on the KYBs so that’s why I went with them lol. Feels great though
Some one already said it but I recently did koni yellows and HR OE sport springs for mine. On the koni "stock ride hight" setting it sits nice and is a very comfortable ride since the HR springs lower it to a classy level without bottoming out ever.
I did koni orange shocks with eibach pro springs - been dailying it for 5 or so years. It sits about 1in lower than stock.
The only major expensive maintenance I have had to do on my 04 prerunner was rebuilding the whole suspension at around 225k miles. The leaf springs were toast and the front end was starting to get there. I did everything myself and it wasn’t to crazy price wise, maybe $1200.
I swapped them into my 2018 performance and the difference was extremely subtle.
They’re fine stock replacements, mine just started to leak after 4k years and roughly 20,000 miles
i replaced mine for KYB 2 months ago and it was awful.
