Don't forget the engine mounts. Don't wait until they collapse.
Energy Suspension poly's changed the ride because the engine is not bouncing around.

Please follow up with what you went with and how it turns out.
I forgot to mention to replace the spring isolator pads. Not that Urethane is what you want, but here is an example of a complete kit.

The Moog u-joints are crap because they don't fit right.
There's a recent thread here about this.
The Spicer u-joints do fit well.

Thanks for that. Will do.

I'll probably piece it together, stock parts for some items like sway bar bushings and end links, hopefully find a kit for shocks and struts or just buy good quality ones from the local auto parts store. I'll go with a matched set of upper and lower rear control arms, maybe Ford motorsport front LCA if they are still produced. Nothing fancy...but everything will be new, so I'm sure it'll be a drastic improvement
