Add to my list:

So I'm using my tax return this year to overhaul the suspension on the '85 this month, and I just wana run this by anybody that cares. The truck is original suspension-wise so keep that in mind when reading.

I'm going to buy:

-3" Belltech Drop Spindles
-5" Shackles for the rear
-All new Shocks (brand yet undetermined)
-Complete Energy Suspension Bushing Kit (c/w body mounts, leaf spring bushings, control arm bushings, sway bar busings, tie-rod boots, tranny mount)
-new ball joints
-front sway bar (truck is minus at present)
-inner and outer tie rods and sleeves


Of course if I come across anything else that is pooched, it'll get done, but as far as above is there anything important I've missed??? I want this thing to handle good after I'm done to get my interest back up enough to keep working at it.

Thanks!
