anything else i should think about changing? rubber bushings,ball joints, shocks and tie rod ends?

1999 w/135k miles, back on the road after sitting for 5 years...Carlos in the Bronx brought her back to life...shes running nicely but feels loose-pretty certain the bushings are shot and it def needs shocks.

i cant do this myself...whats the $ damage I am looking at?

 

if shocks, maybe springs while you're in there? also, if Carlos did not already do so, all of the items on the 90k service sticky. glad to hear you got ol' girl back in running shape and are taking care of her. nice...

 

Start with springs and shocks at the same time, then see how things ride.

You'll waste your money putting new shocks on old springs.

I believe Lucky 8 sells stock grade replacement springs at a real decent price.

How much it will cost depends, you don't mention if you still have air bags in the rear.

New Bilstein shocks (stock replacement) and stock height springs would be the best way to go, and cheaper than an offroad kit.

 

you could look at icard another sponser sells Lesjofors spring which make a ton of the european oem spring as a good replacement for stock springs.
I believe offroadfrance ran these and said they were quite good.
they do have a location in the states
