89 c1500 suspension overhaul help?

[evilunclegrimace]

Why are you going to replace the rear diff? if it is not bent or a rusted mess rebuild it. The same for control arms why buy new if you are going to install urethane bushings? Are the front spindles damaged? It looks as if you are going to spend a lot of cash on things that might not need replaced.

When I did front end bushings in my '98, I bought a set of UCAs & LCAs from the wreckers. $50 for all 4.
Cleaned & painted them, installed new ball joints & the urethane bushings.
Made for a whole lot less down-time when it came to doing the job.
The control arm bushing install was a bear of a job. Required a press w-a-y bigger than mine. ...and lots (LOTS!!!) of the assembly lube.
But once they were done, the control arm install just became a straight up re-n-re. Cheaper, too. Less hoist time to pay for.
I'd love to have a hoist of my own! #loweredlife
