Re: Upgrade Steering and Suspensions Parts
yeah, hopefully it's goin' to be a smooth install.....the only things that worries me is that pesky broken manifold bolts  .
Did you ever replaced your torsion key support bracket bushings...mine's are welded to the frame and i have to drill new holes for the replacement parts. When i replaced my TB keys, i've noticed the bushings so loose and caused clunking when suspension flexes.

LOL....btw, how do you like your rancho steering stabilizer? i'm tempting to get that but go with the bilstein instead, hopefully i made a good choice.

Re: Upgrade Steering and Suspensions Parts
You will want to add the cognito limiting straps to go with those control arms and shocks as this setup will cause front arms to hang on upper ball joint rather than the shock as the limiter, which casues premature ball joint failure. straps will cure it

To be honest I'm really not noticing a great difference over stock. I don't think you'll be disappointed in the Bilstein at all, they make great shocks. I think the only way you could really tell a difference either way is if you got dual stabilizers.
