RCD Coilover Replacements

I bought a 2006 Mazda B4000 4x4 new in 06 and put the RCD kit on in 2007. I ended up trading it in back in 2008 because gas was too expensive. I saw it for sale on Marketplace last week and ended up buying it back. I’m trying to bring it back to its former glory but the front Bilsteins are blown and they have obviously been long discontinued. I have been reading 100s of pages about the Fox struts but all the part numbers are also now discontinued. I am wondering if anyone has current part numbers of struts and springs that will work to replace. If someone has something for sale that will
work I’m definitely open to that too.

I don’t mean to rehash something again but I don’t want to spend a bunch of money on struts without knowing they will fit.

Thanks for your help.

Congratulations on buying your old truck back as not many get the chance.

I rarely hear anything about coil over swaps anymore, so can't say for sure what the replacements are. Have you tried calling Fox and seeing if they have replacement numbers for the ones you've found online? Worst comes to worst. you may just end up having to provide eyelet to eyelet measurements to them and they can spec a coil-over from that. If I remember correctly, RCD's came with a 650lb spring rate, but many people said those were too soft and were going with 700/750lb springs.
