Best thing you can change are the shocks and Energy Suspension Sway Bar Bushings... Mine is sporting Monroe Sensatracs right now.

Shocks are easy but here are the numbers and homework for the bushings - PLEASE verify that this is what you need in diameter!!!

Part Number:
3.5207R - Front 33mm 4x4 with End Link = $39.99
9.5159R - Rear 23mm Mount Set = $19.99
9.8015R - Rear 3/8 End Link Bushings = 8.99

* Part Number 9.8015R is a Universal Kit and it has 8 Washers and 8 Bushings in it - you`ll only need 4 of them.

* Part Number 9.5159R is the Rear 23mm Mount and is a very tight fit... Use a vise anddrillor drill press to open the mounting hole up 1/16th".

I bought all of them all through my local Advanced Auto Parts.


What prompted the swapping..? I had a power steering pump fail and it ate up the driver`s side bushing at the frame. That, and 95% of my commute is highway.
















Best thing I ever did on the truck. And you can sure see these puppies walking up to the truck too!


Took me about two hours to remove clean and get everythign done.




I also had enough bushings left over from the one`sI didn't needtocreate this custom Hi-Lift Jack Mount!


Enjoy the pics!


P.S. Thant`s not Anti-Freeze dripping - It`s degreaser from the local car wash!

Check with Jegs or Summit for a part number, and then hit the local guys - In my case, advanced was less money by more than a couple of dollars!
