Suspension Facelift

Hey guys,

Since purchasing my 4R back in March, I have slowly been replacing worn out parts like updating my headlights to 99 headlights, updated my interior lighting, replaced my broken taillights with some from a 02 etc. Just finished the engine overhaul with new belts, fluids, fuel pump, alternator etc.

Now I've come down to tackling the suspension part of the facelift. I know LBJs are a must and from what I could tell, the sway bar bushings are shot but what other parts should I be looking at to replace. I've searched the forum of threads specifically on replacing suspension parts and didn't find any that would give a straight up answer. I'm not worried on springs/shocks cause I know what to go with when the time comes to purchasing them.

Currently the 4R isn't my DD but will be once its road safe.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm doing LBJ, bushings, and inner/outer tie rods ahead of any shock/spring work if that helps.

LBJ's (oem only)

Sway bar bushings, end links
Lower/upper control arm bushings
Steering rack bushings
Tie rod ends
Steering rack guide

Personally, I wouldn't be replacing any of these items other than the LBJ's unless they needed it or your having some kind of issue.

There are other things too but this is the first that comes to mind.

If you have an auto, you might as well replace the radiator also if it hasn't been changed recently.

Thanks for the replies. I'll add radiator to the list I'm putting together.
