I have a 2002 5.9l 4x4 1500 QC 107k miles. I am getting together a list of parts for some general frontend maintenance on my truck. I have owned it since new and other than brakes, no maintenance has been done on the suspension. If there would have grease fittings they would have been greased but Dodge didn't see past their warranty. I am thinking of lifting/ leveling it at the same time via the torsion key, just cranking them up. A short list is ball joints, shocks, tie rods( just new ends I think). Anything else I am missing? Any and all advice is welcome.

 

You may want to consider front hubs and cv axles. Essentially a whole new front end, especially if you're planning on lifting it. I know it would add a lot more expense to the rebuild, but it would be a PIA to have to pull it all back apart a year or 2 later and approach it all over again

 

I thought about doing the front axle u-joints but not sure its worth the trouble. I think there is a sway bar so new bushings and do the diff. fluid(front and rear). I have the lifetime alignment with TiresPlus, so that's taken care of. Anymore suggestions, keep them coming. I have been told by a buddy who is an ASE mechanic, just get any aftermarket ball joint as long as its greaseable, which is kinda what I was thinking.

 

I did a thread on here some time back but I bought all new outer tie rods, sway bars link, rotors, wheel bearing hub assemblies, UCAs and lower BJs and everything to rebuild the front calipers all for about 350.
