    Haven't updated in a while, but it's going in for a frame job(July/August 2015). Time to change old parts for new:
    U-joints
    Carrier Bearing
    Stainless steel braided brake lines
    OME 885x coils
    SPC LR UCAs
    OMD Chevy AAL mod to the new leafs
    CVJ axles
    Front diff needle bearing
    Sway bar bushings (although I may remove it)
    Apply antisieze to LCA bolts

    Some other stuff I can't remember atm

    Thoughts?

    Pull the wheels, drums, hub and axle, disconnect the drive shaft, drain the diff, unbolt the third and remove.

    Do you still have the bilsteins up front? How is the ride with them as well?

    Yes I do, I have them set to 1.75 and a 1/4" spacer on top. The ride is different for everyone, as we all have different opinions, but i think it is not bad. A little stiffer than stock/OEM, but that's to be expected.

    I plan to put OME(old man emu) 885 coils in and set the bilsteins to 0 in front for about 2.5" of lift and purchase new UCAs

    Is there any alignment issues with that little of a lift?

    With bilsteins at 1.75 and 1/4" spacers on top, you'll get about 2" of lift, the maximum I'd go with OEM UCAs. My alignment is tolerable, but could be better obviously with new UCAs.

    My LCA adjustments are mostly frozen, but my frame I'd being replaced, so I am going to apply copious amounts of antisieze to the bushings.

    Anything over 2" I'd say get new UCAs.

    Since you're in SoCal, check the buy/sell/trade one here and craigslist, you may find some good parts
