    This weekend I'm finally getting to rebuilding my front end. A buddy is letting me use his lift to make it a little easier. Just looking for any advice/tips for any common problem I might run into.
    Replacing:
    Rack and pinion/bushing - OEM
    Outer tie rod - OEM
    LCAs - OEM
    LBJs - OEM
    UCA/UBJs - SPC
    Struts/springs - Bilstein 6112
    Sway bar links/bushings - Suspension maxx/OEM
    285/70/17 - Cooper discoverer at3 4s
    Raceline wheels - 17x8.5 0 offset
    REAR:
    Add-a-leaf: ICON
    Shocks: Bilstein 5160

    Truck is rust free and I've done my research, I have the tools and have an extra hand. Im going to start with the rack and go from there. Ive watched a ton of different videos but I know this is going to take me a few days.

    Looks good! Like a damn new truck :D

    Which Racelines did you go with? They're so dark I can't tell. I just bought some for my truck as well.
