Well today I spent over $300 on parts. To bad it wasn't for mods. I'm replacing all the ball joints, tie rod ends, bearings, rotors and pads on my truck. I got one side done and then it got too cold. I'll finish the other side tomarrow. Boy what fun it is putting all that stuff on. By the way press in ball joints suck when you don't have the proper tool. The upper wasn't to hard I figuered out it's much easier just to cut the rivets with the dremel then it was to drill them out. A plus is my new rotors already have new bearing races so I don't have to press those in.

Messing around with press in ball joints does suck.
What about shocks? Have they been replaced yet? KYB shocks go for about $120 for a full set.

Some of the money I invested in my GTP swap was for maintenance items: wires, plugs, engine/tranny mounts, and o2 sensor. It's nuts. I'll hate when it comes time to buy wheel bearings.

I put shocks on last year.

Ranchos on all four corners.

I pretty much need to win the lotto so I can afford to get my suspension back in check. Waiting on Uncle Sam so I can work on it a bit more.

Did you manage to keep it in alignment OK?

I've got one more side to do today. I'm fairly confident the alignment will be fine. The only adjustable parts that were swapped are the tie rod ends. I measured and taped those so it should be the same. My truck is getting ready to pass over the 100k mark so with the new top end and front end work I should get plenty of miles out of her.
