SO Ive decided after 98000 miles of faithful service i want to redo the front suspension on the truck. maybe the leaf springs on the rear also.

what all can i replace on the front? like joints etc, heard moog was a good brand? i really need to build a list and start making purchases to build up a supply and install it all at once.

i plan to remove the lowering springs, and replace them with drop spindles.

im a bit of a suspension noob if it doesnt pertain to lift kits or lowering kits.

Moog is a good brand. I am doing the same with mine,

you should do:

struts
strut mounts
inner tie rods
outer tie rods
upper control arms with bushings
upper ball joints
lower ball joints
bushings

the rear leaf springs should be fine, just do your shocks.

Tyler has a solid list, and the Moog is pretty good stuff at not to bad of a price.
