Did you do the rest of the suspension bushings and parts while you were at it? Just wondering because that would add another couple of hundred dollars. Making a parts list and wondering if this all needs to be done at the same time for a nice solid riding truck. Also for safety.

I'm at the same place with my truck. I'm gathering parts for the front and rear lowering with a disk brake upgrade, due to the lowering spindles. My truck has 57K miles on it and although it's been maintained. Now is the time to replace the 50 year old bushings and ball joints, since everything will be apart. I went with Moog on those items. I'll replace the steering linkage, if I see any wear. I haven't even looked at the rear arm bushings, but I should replace those as well, due to their age.
Afterwards I plan on driving it a little harder. Plus, the 396 is going to double the torque, HP and weight over the inline 6.
