Is It Finally Time?

Well everyone I think its finally time... to .. get ... a lift! haha

I took some pics of my suspension the other day and I'm pretty sure I'm on borrowed time. Check out the pics and tell me what you think? What should I upgrade? ;)

The drive itself is a bit soft and when I go over even the smallest of imperfections in the road the car is swimming in the sea.

looks like it might be time for some new bushings forsure. balljoints don’t look too bad as long as they’re not loose. it sounds like you need some new shocks and springs... just upgraded mine the other day to bilstein 5100 with OME 881 and toytec superflex in the rear. rides a lot better now

*correction: i didn’t realize those were your shock bushings lol. definitely time for new shocks!

Your BJs look a little wet. I’d recommend changing those if you suspect they’re original... also, the other usual culprits:
-tie rods/ends
-front and rear sway bar connects & bushings
-check control arm bushings

How’s the current ride and steering? Does it track straight down the road? Any wobble or vibration?

You didn't show pics of your rack bushings. That could be one of the problems that doesn't allow the truck to track straight when going over imperfections. Lower shock bushings could use some love. Do you know the mileage on your lbj? Change those if they are unknown mileage. The rest looks passable, main thing they are still tight.
