Controll arms
Shocks
Brake lines
Sye if you don't already have it maybe
Track bar if you don't already have an adjustable one
I'm sure I'm forgetting something.

So far I'm a little sketchy on my single sheer RE track bar. Not that it's bad but I'm already thinking of replacing the end and frame mount.

I just noticed huge toe-in on my tires. I didn't notice with the stock tires. Could explain why it has a mind of it's own. Gonna fix that this weekend.

Hey what's the deal with bleeding the brakes after the line replacement? I've run like a quart through my rears and still getting bubbles. Both the old school way with a helper and with e vacuum pump. Brakes feel like they're 75% at best.
