Ive searched and cant find them anywhere. Probably not entering the correct search term. Im looking for the front and rear shock top hats and "bearings" or whatever you want to call them. I bought Bilstein 6112s and Im considering just putting all new tops and bearings on them to do a straight drop and swap without disassembling my stock shocks. Its a 2022 Badlands 2dr Non Sasquatch if thats makes a difference.

Front hat is either MB3Z-18A099-A or MB3Z-18A099-E. The -E has a fine thread on the studs so you'll have to check and make sure you have the correct nuts.
Front insulator is MB3Z-5415-B
Front boot/bumper is probably MB3Z-18198-C. I say probably because the catalogue does not show the front breakdown as of now.

Rear hat is MB3Z-18A161-D
Rear insulator is MB3Z-5415-B
Rear boot/bumper is NB3Z-5K570-A

Thank you very much. Of course, most of it currently unavailable. Guess if I do it in the next couple weeks I'll just disassemble my factory stuff.

I just checked on the -E and shows BO until end of June and half of those are already spoken for. If you don't plan on doing this right away, you may put the order in just in case something happens or you do decide to not take apart.

2-Front cap MB3Z-18A099-E (fine thread studs)
4-Front and rear insulator MB3Z-5415-B
2-Front dust boots (bearings) NB3Z-18198-A
2-Rear cap MB3Z-18A161-D
2-Rear dust boots NB3Z-5K570-A

Unknown. HVBOM is showing front cap nuts as W7151365-S450 and the catalogue is showing W520231-S440. Both should be M10 but ones that go with the -E front caps are a fine thread, the older version are coarse. I have caps and other stuff that just came in for my 6112s so I need to get the -E cap nuts figured out and update my cookbook.

ETA: Mystery solved: We had 1 W7151365-S450 in inventory and it threaded on my -E cap stud.

I don't know from experience, but it would make sense that they are the same if both the Base Hitachi Shocks, and the SAS shocks both are compatible with the Bilstein 6112 kit where you have to reuse the factory top hat.

Wouldn't this mean that both are the same or at least both the Base and SAS have same dimension to be able to both be compatible with the 6112 kit?

Hmmm,,,

I'm sure there are hundreds of Base Hitachi shocks sitting in landfills or collecting dust in corners of garages(like mine)

Yeah looks like the sum for all the parts is $430ish plus shipping so might be a great idea so find a set of hitachi take offs.

I'm about to throw mine away,,, just taking up space. I imagine Hitachi takeoffs could be found in several dumpsters around the area... Maybe at your local 4x4 shop...

To dig an old read, does anyone know if the top hat bolt pattern is the same for front and rear? Bought a Readylift 1.25" front level, but am now looking at Dobinson springs and wondering if I can put the top spacer from the Readylift kit in the rear.
