Rear Coil Suspension Rebuild - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm getting ready to redo the rear suspension on my '69 short step. Will be replacing trailing arm bushings, tracking arm & bushings, and coil springs. (probably u-bolts also)

Plan on looking at the driveshaft at the same time for possible rebuild.

Before I'm this deep into it, are there anything else I should plan on replacing? The items I mentioned are obviously in need of renewal, but from experience, are there things that are not as obvious that I should automatically replace or test while I'm under there?
