Whilst I am there...suspension and....?

[JabzSA]

My '07 v6 Sport Edition has finally been broken in and rolled over the 90k mile mark, and with a long distance trip to Canada coming up, i have decided to do some upgrades that i have been planning for a while.:banana:

She has some minor squeaks and clanks (going over slow speed bumps)...nothing major or loud, but annoying to my OCD ear...so whilst I am upgrading to an OME 2.5" lift suspension...i figured I'd upgrade other elements also whilst i am there...

throw in a complete new bushing kit...? (figure it would help eliminiate the squeaks, etc?)
i will be prepping and coating her entire underbelly with a rust inhibitor, but am wondering...

anything else you guys can recommend to address/ look into: whilst i am "there"? I have a budget of $2.5k.

While you're there, check your cv boots for issues and upgrade the brakes to 5th gen calipers and rotors.

Front and rear sway bar links, if using a sway bar spacer for the front just use stock ends. For the rear get the Skyjacker end links for the FJ, they fit and work great. Check CV boots, I had one start to leak at the outer clamp, put a new clamp on and leak is gone. Maybe sway bar bushings and tie rod ends too.
