Basic 2dr 4x4 suspension upgrade advice

guys- was going to replace the 20 yr old bushings w urethane ones- getting the “as long as you’re doing it” should probably rebuild the whole front end. Already did shocks last year- what do you guys like? Part manufacturers, etc? Also thinking of using red box for new power steering. Thanks!!

Moog and Proforged seem to get good reviews. I had a RedHead box on a Bronco and had no issues with it, but there are some posts where people have had issues. I have a BlueTop brand on mine and it’s noticeably tighter. Customer service was good - the owner responded to emails quickly, even on a Sunday.

Save yourself the headache and pick up a impact for the pitman/steering gear nut. It’s pretty easy to get the arm off with the gearbox removed. Also a 3/4” drive torque wrench, torque was around 215-ft lbs or so but would have to check.
