Spring install...what to replace?

[Krmnnghia]

I am planning on doing my spring/shock install very soon. I want to be totally prepared so when dissasembling the stock junk is there anything I should just replace so I don't run into issues later? New bolts? New bushings? Anything? Thanks alot guys!

If they are stock diameter (not coil over type) springs I recomend getting new rubber pads for the upper spring perch. When I pulled my stock stuff out they were worn pretty bad.

I'd also get at minimum new shock bearing plate bushings.

Getting an ES master bushing kit is a good idea too...

I'm actually running the ES master kit, ES sway bar busings, windowelded motor mounts and will probably will get prothane for two locations in the rear not covered by the ES kit.

I prefer the ES construction and compound...

Prothane makes some bushings that replace locations the ES does not. This can be good or bad.

The shock lower mount prothane makes one for.. Don't get it... It has no effect on suspension alignment under cornering loads and just wails on your shocks.

The rear LOWER control arm inner pivot bushings ES does'nt make but prothane does.

The big bushing in rear trailing arm, all three spindle mounted busings, and the upper control arm inner bushings were covered by the ES kit. Just the two inboard lower arm bushings on each side were not... So you need 4 of the part # C-10042 in addition to the ES master kit...
