suspension refresh
I've never really been happy with the ride quality of my 93, and I have trying to fix that ever since I got it. The steering was loose and the side to side sway going over even the lightest offroad terrian would almost put your head through the side window lol.
Things allready changed all steering linkage, ps pump, front and rear sway bar bushings (poly), radius arm bushings (poly), new decent shocks, new tires (31x10.5xr15 BFG at ko's), and allignment.
This was all done about a year ago, and after the allignment the steering was flawless for about six months, and then got sloppy again. The side to side sway problem is better than it was, but I think it could be better.
I've bought all the parts I need to finish the job, but im not going to be able to do this myself because of time constraints, ect., so im wondering if anyone could give me an idea as to how much I should be expecting for labor to do the following- Install new AGR steering box (im willing to take a chance), install new coil springs, install new axle pivot bushings, install new spring-eye bushings, and then give her a fresh allignment. Then im going to throw on a set of rancho 9000's myself hopefully dial in the ride so that im satisfied, and then just deal with it because there won't be anything left to change lol.
Sorry about the long post, just thought i'd be thorough the first time.
