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

Does anybody know of a place that makes a good suspension rebuild kit? I'm ordering new shock absorbers, and when I put them in, I'd like to go through and just hit all the rubber/bushings at once in the front and rear suspension. This is for a half-ton 78 C10.

I think LMC sells one but I'm hesitant to go with them for something like this... thanks!

I ordered all rubber bushings, tie rod ends, etc from Summitracing...the MOOG brand...it wasn't cheap, but I didn't want chinese parts in my front end.

Performance Suspension Technologies (PST) sells complete front end rebuild kits in both rubber and polygraphite (supposedly not as squeaky as polyurethane). I haven't bought anything from them, but I get their catalogs in the mail and it looks like nice stuff at a reasonable price. They also sell sway bars, brake upgrades, etc. Might be worth checking out.

lilpoindexter is right, MOOG is the way to go if you're set on using rubber. Worth the extra money for sure.
