How many miles on that motor?

Can you rate the change in the way the truck feels? Was it worth it? Like a new ride or just marginal difference?

I would say after changing 22 year old bushings there is a night and day difference. I had quite a bit of body roll before and now it is quite firm. I have now noticed now if I hit a bump or I'm off roaming my back gate will clunk. I'm not sure how to go about fixing that.

These trucks have sloppy feeling brakes as they are, a little air or water create a little shock absorber and makes it worse.

Default Brakes had gunk in lines

Had to power bleed them today ! Not much air but brake fluid looked like dirty beer and debris was in it pedal back to 100% again and clear dot-4 only comes out now , when my master cylinder went out it must of had junk from the rubber seals that cumbled down into my lines , when old one was off if you touched the rubber it just fell apart , hopefully it will work for along time now since it's all fresh rubber and dot-4 ...
