Front suspension rebuild

[Ziegelsteinfaust]

I picked up a C20 front suspension crossmember, and want to rebuild it. Along with pan-caking the crossmember, and doing the make it handle better mods. All of them, and then some.

So. Who makes the best kits? PST has a kit for $300 to which I will have to add a few steering components. Or go with Rock Auto, and piece togather a Moog kit for atleast $100 more.

Someone once told me C20 bushing really don't go bad most of the time due to how HD the are. Because they have a steel shell or something. The few C20's I had looked to be that way so I just replaced the ball joints. So how do you know those bushings are really bad. Or does the rubber just completely fall out more or less.

Also has anyone ever sectioned a crossmember say 2.5 to 3 inches, and used rod ends with spacers to correct bump steer in the truck?
