Front suspension suggestions needed

[Eric1249]

I have an 04 with 100,000 miles. The truck is just about paid off and I want to keep it for awhile. I have BTF spacers on it. The front end is a bit sloppy right now. I am going to be ordering the BTF UCA's soon. I want to replace the struts and spring while I am at it. Monroe's? I was also suggested to replace the bump stops. I read good things about the Energy Suspension. At times I have a weird vibration and it was suggested that it could be the cv joints. I might as well replace them while I am at it. Stock or is there another brand to go with?

I figure as long as I am doing the front end I might as well go all out and replace anything that could be worn out. I would like to get rid of that sloppy feeling. What do you guys think I should all replace? Best place to purchase parts? Any thought and opinions would be great.

Thanks
Eric

Not sure if you found your solution but replace the lower ball joints along with the new UCAs and new struts if they need replaced.

Replace the lower control arm bushings or replace the entire lower control arm as it comes with new bushings and new ball joint. Also inner and outer tie rod ends wear out too. Usually can't be rockauto.com's prices and forum members get 5% discount. Even paying shipping from rockauto it is still cheaper than buying from other online sites or local stores for the same brand name stuff. Usually have the stuff at my door in two days.
