Note that the steering components should be checked both loaded and unloaded (with the weight on the wheels and with the wheels hanging). I have personally seen a situation where everything felt and looked tight when the vehicle was in the air unloaded but when inspected with the weight on the wheels the play was obvious.

Perfect. I was planning a similar spring swap and this has a protective boot to boot. Pun intended. Thanks all.
