Alright, new Moog LBJ's, Rancho RS5000 shocks all around, and new brake pads up front (the rears look barely used after nearly two years). One HELL of a lot of dirt and crud compacted into the rotor fins up front, though. That in itself was a chore to clean out sufficiently.

Anyway, the truck turns and stops 100% better than it did before. It doesn't move at all now when I stand on the side steps, either, and it soaks up bumps on the road. The only thing I'm a little dismayed about is that the driver's side rear seems to sit just a little lower than before, while the front is a bit more level (probably because of the new shocks and not being settled yet). Maybe it was just a weird angle I was seeing it at, but overall I am very happy with a day's work (and a lot of help from a friend).
