Front & Rear Full Suspension Tune Up - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My 69 Chevy beater, which I was planning on just keeping as is as a work truck is turning into a project. Mostly because Im getting the tinkering bug and the all the bushings, ball joints, and tie rod ends are shot.

The previous owner said it was lowered 3 inches. Well it was more like 2 inches and it was not lowered. It is just that worn out. Or someone cut some coils out of the springs. Either way, after I get my Hurst shifter installed and the brakes squared away, the suspension is next.

I am only familiar with the kit offered by LMC. It is 500 bucks. Are there any other options out there for full on bushing, tie rod end, ball joint, springs, and sway bar mount bushing replacement kits?
