My Truck Refurbish

Well it took some time but I've finally got around to fixing some items on my 2000 F250 4X4. I replace the ball joints, front wheel hubs, installed Bilstein 5100 shocks and steering dampener. I just ordered new rotors and pads which are coming next week. I can't wait to drive this again but on a side note the weather was perfect for riding my bike. I'll post some pics next week.

That's plenty of labor right there, well done. Curious what brand everything ya chose and if you have enough miles to form any opinions yet.

Depending on your mileage, I would recommend also replacing your tie-rod ends, drop links, and sway bar bushings. That way, you'll have a completely new front end and will LOVE the difference. Otherwise, mixing your new parts with existing, old and worn tie-rods and drop links will result in faster than normal wear on your new parts.

The only items I have left to replace on my front end are the sway bar bushings, and there is a huge world of difference with all the new suspension parts.

I thought of that today so I ordered everything except the sway bar bushings. Need to save some more money for that
