Suspension Rebuild Kits

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.

Re: Suspension Rebuild Kits

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.

Re: Suspension Rebuild Kits

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