[QUOTE="shovel, post: 1550063, member: 29855"] I find it hard to believe you'd be able to improve on OE for ride comfort, and OE equivalent parts are pretty affordable. Young rubber and standard shocks are a no brainer. The OE front sway bar end links use fairly hard bushings you could swap out for rubber (and not overtighten) for a slight edge in comfort over OE. Example this is most of what I put in my 96: [ATTACH type="full"]37164[/ATTACH] (the 96 has a 2003 rear axle, hence control arms for 99-04) [ATTACH type="full"]37163[/ATTACH] That's about $750 in parts, not shown there is upper axle bushings (about $25 for the pair) and upper strut mounts ($80) and rear coil spring isolators ($25) - it creeps up close to $1k but it refreshes everything flexible like new between the wheels and the body. If you're on stock brakes you can run 15" or 16" wheels with a ton of sidewall to soak up the road. [/QUOTE]
