Default Rebuild

doing a rebuild on my 5.9 dakota and I'm thinking about going with an aftermarket cam I looking at some comp cams and I know that if I get one I need to get better springs but do I need to get better rocker arms and pushrods or could I use my stock pushrods and rocker arms that come in the rebuild kit and upgrade to the better ones in a year or so

i just rebuilt my motor. i put in a hughes ser0814aln-10. i'd really recommend it. it sounds nice at idle and it very drivable with an automatic. youtube "cammed 5.2" there's a video of a black jeep with that cam. if your going through the process of rebuilding i'd recommend just putting in the better stuff right away. it's probably around 500 for the lifters, rods, rockers. give hughes a call and give them your budget and they can set you up with everything you need. doing a cam you will also need a tune. i use hemifever he's good.
