I'm pricing the OE top mounts now. Tasca has them for 35. each. Ouch. And all because I want to preassemble my 6112's so that swap time goes a little smoother.
There seem to be at least 8 variations on the front coil spring, so you're going to need your VIN to get the exact piece. Coils range in price from 34. to 23. (I'd like to know what the differences are in in/lb ratings).

I have thought about hitting up the yards looking for trucks without front damage, but haven't done any pricing online. I keep forgetting about Tasca.
I went ahead and ordered some from my local Ford dealer's parts dept this afternoon. Pick 'em up tomorrow. I saved a little on the total cost because there's no shipping involved even though the part was slightly higher in price.
And while I was at it, I got a tow hooks valance so I can install the OE chrome tow hooks I bought used from DeltaNu.

Did you remember the tow hook boots, if not included with the hooks
I may, depending on time, align the bumper (it's offset to the passenger side by at least 3/16") and correct the "frown" using some body panel alignment shims purchased at good ol' HF.
yeehaw - looks like I'm going to remove the bumper to better get at those last three 10mm nuts on each end of the valence... Not everyone can have the dexterity, the skills, the mechanical intellect of one Firerunner Tommy! ... no, sir. I am not worthy.
Close up of the underside of my passenger side Stainless
Works muffler reminds me of this Antarctic Mite closeup.... Been having Lt. grey smoke now and again on that side with a faint petroleum based odor and some soot at the tailpipe. Sea foam, Techron and Amsoil PI have been used in the last 10K and Tomorrow will be installing the passenger side Air/Oil separator. Driver side is clean as an Acme Thunderer...Compression Test coming soon..::
