Order of replacement - front end components

Have on order the following:

1) LBJ
2) Sway End Links Bushings
3) Sway Bar Bushings
4) Outer and Inner Tie Rods
5) Steering Rack Bushings

Is there a specific order I should do these in so I don't make my life a miserable hell?

Not really...okay, maybe yes.
They're all fairly painless. Although, that's coming from my experience- on a rig with no rust. Obviously, rust will add some time and frustration.
A tie rod/BJ remover tool made my LBJ about as easy as it gets.
The steering rack bushings are much more easily done when the tie rods are off.
That being said, I would-
1) Pull the sway bar end link nuts off.
2) Remove sway bar from frame.
3) Brake the 4 LBJ 14mm bolts loose from the knuckle- but do not remove.
4) Remove LBJ from LCA.
5) Remove LBJ from knuckle.
6) Remove ITR from rack(no need to separate the inner and outer tie rod, or even take the outer tie rod off the old LBJ)
7) Remove rack bolts, replace bushings.
As always, assembly is reverse of removal.
Oh, and have fun with the sway bar bushings. The frame side is a pain in the ass, and so are the end links.
The rack bushings were at least twice as easy as the sway bar bushings for me.

Thanks for the tips! I am assuming all of this can be done while jacked up?

Yup! The sway bar removal really isn't that bad at all
You just need extensions on your ratchet. And remember, they're welded nuts! The bolt goes in through the top! I had a friend chisel off the nuts because he thought they were rusted on that tight Order of replacement - front end components

DO the lower control arm bushings and sleeves at the same time as your steering rack. Otherwise you will have to remove your rack again to remove the bolts for your LCA
