Might want to look into new tie rod ends if you havent done so already. Also maybe a steering stabilizer (or pair). Steering stabilizer isnt necessary, but would help improve the shake in the steering wheel. There are mixed opinions about the stabilizers though. Just a thought. Otherwise, cant wait to see what this is gunna look like.

I know Moog makes tie rods and ends but im not sure how much beefier they are. They arent that expensive on Rock Auto either.

These are the baddest of the bad for Tie-Rod ends for out truck,

http://www.readylift.com/c-437-ford-...ering-kit.aspx

As far as the body lift, it sucks putting it on, would rather do suspension lifts all day, took me as long as the suspension lift did. The two front body cups are a bitch to get the bolts out of as they are threaded in the cups, need a large pipe wrench and a second set of hands stronger than my wife's, she was more of a hinderance than help....

Cups cp2,3,4 and cd3,4 have the bolts pressed into the cups, if you have a bearing press available it is easier.

The body lift kit took me every bit of 11 hours to get done, The suspension lift took me 10 hours so the body lift was more of a pain to me. I did it here in Florida outside sweating my *** off a few weeks ago, if the weather was a little cooler I might of not had such a hard time...Good luck...
