I would like to thank a lot of you that have posted all the tips, on repairing and modifying these trucks, it would have taken me much longer and a lot more frustration to complete it.
I started out just wanting to lower the Mounty, but once I started taking things apart, I found a lot of the suspension was just worn out, so I replaced pretty much everything.
I manage to get a lot of the Parts from Rock Auto. Parts that required cores, I used the local Napa Store. I also used Explorer Express for there lower kit and Tirerack for the Bilstein Shocks.
The cost to Completely replace the suspension, brakes, steering, tires and wheels came to around $3k. The cost of the Mounty was just $2k, so for around $5k it rides better then most $20k SUV's
