replacing suspension

I'm replacing the upgraded coil springs in my short bed half ton. Also removing and extra leaf in the rear (5 stock). I was set up to carry an 8' cabover (yes it set on the tail gate) and a boat. Don't do that much anymore and it's way to stiff. Also has sway bars and heavy shocks. Any suggestions? How to check King pins? How about the "I" beam pivot bushing. She's got lots of miles but seems tight. I don't want to miss anything while I'm in there.
