Front End Repairs?

[95NPATHYSTYLE]

I'm looking to do the ball joints, shocks & a BL. What else should I look into replacing/upgrading? Stearing?

[94extreme]

CL, TREs; at least check them.

Are the idler arm braces worth buying or just stick to the BL, BJs, TREs & CL. I'm looking @ the pro comp ES3000's w/ the steering stablizer. Is that a good choice or is there something else you guys sugest? I did find a good info spot: http://www.carquestchassistraining.com/index.htm I also have a set of the ford coil springs should I use'em or is the BL good enough for a DD?

What size tires and how hard do you wheel it?

[95NPATHYSTYLE]

31" now but would probly go w/ 32"or33" next time I've read that 33" are rough on your steering. I dont wheel much but some.

31's are rough on stock steering. I'd stick with smaller tires unless you really push the limit on rocky trails or like going into deep mud. 33's really kill your power and mileage. I'd say a BL is good enough for a DD. The Ford coils tend to be fairly stiff and they're not long enough to stay in the sockets with the swaybar disconnected. I about had mine fall out on the trail several times till I switched to JGC springs.
