Suspension time, need help please.

Hello all. Just bought a 99 grand Cherokee limited. Need some suspension advice if someone wouldn't mind helping a guy out.

130k miles, stock suspension. So everything probably needs to be replaced. I'm not trying to lift the jeep or anything. Just replace what needs to be done with "quality" parts.

I can't find any "kits" that would include all the basic stuff i should do. Shocks/sway bars/bushings etc (pelican parts.com for my 325 bmw was setup perfectly for kits). Anyone know of any suspension kits out there for basic replacement needs? Or just a list of what i should do(not trying to spend too much)? On quadratec.com it looks like you select part by part, so i dont want to start ordering stuff, take it to my nearby local honest mechanic, and find out i forgot something i shouldve replaced.

Any input? Thanks!

Over bumps it's swaying around a lot, slight knocking sound in the rear from worn sway arm bushings im guessing. Small amounts of bounce. Overall it feels very warn out. Very sloppy in bumps basically.
