Ya I don't know though. Suspension is something that the previous owner seemed to not really be into working on. I mean, it's still got the stock suspension. So I don't really think the bushings will be poly. Where would I go for something like that? Have any recommendations? Are they vehicle specific? Or do you just need the right sizes?
Ya I don't really know how to tell if it's shot. But the fact that it's there at all is an issue I'm looking to resolve in the future. I don't want to get new shocks until I can afford springs to go with them. Probably going to go with OME springs, haven't decided on shocks yet. Maybe Blisten 5100's. Probably won't be doing the bushings right away either. I'm just trying to get a baseline list of the things that need to be done before I go trying to mod the truck more.

Hit the link in my sig. The best thing to do is measure yours. After you read through all of the posts you'll think you have a 30mm bar on the front and a 21mm bar on the rear. You probably do but measure anyways
You mentioned 'get a baseline' and move forward from there: You have fresh trans, axle, t-case, brake fluid in that thing yet? Did you establish when your t-belt is due? Sorry if you've posted that before, I just don't remember. It's one of the bad things about being a post-whore:lmao:

Will check the link now. And no I don't have them yet. I figured that part could wait till I change the oil next, that way I can do all the fluids in one day. But I do realize it's a very important part of baselining lol. As far as the t-belt is concerned, I was under the impression that it was pretty much every 90k miles? The truck is only at 62 right now. Does the S/C change that? I suppose I should look into it now that you got me thinking about it.

You're right about 90k. They also include a 72mos note. Based on age you're due. If it were me I would change the anti-freeze now and catch the t-belt in the next 18mos regardless of mileage. That's just how I'd do it... It's not often you hear about age related t-belt issues unless you're in a very harsh, cold climate or the age exceeds 9-10yrs.
