Not sure what/if going to be towing. Just figured if I'm going to start replacing suspension stuff, may want to beef up the suspension in the process.
I would consider keeping the factory springs and instead replacing all the bushings, ball joints etc to freshen up what you have then upgrade the shocks to the best you can get for it, maybe Bilsteins? Then front and rear sway bars (at least front) if you don't already have them. Only because one ton springs are great for towing but if you're only going to tow occasionally you might end up with a ride that's more stiff than you like for regular driving. The 3/4 ton stuff is plenty stout and still has a good ride. Just my .02.
