    What else did you have replaced, or did they recommend replacing? The frame comes with new LCAs and rear leaf springs. I assume the LCAs will have new ball joints. I plan on having the upper ball joints replaced as well as all 4 tie rod ends as I have one bad inner tie rod. I also need an exhaust. The truck is completely stock, no lift or anything like that.
    Suggestions, recommendations are much appreciated.
    TIA.

    I had them replace all 4 shocks and the serpentine belt. I supplied the parts. After they had the frame off they went over everything and their only recommendations were to replace the emergency cable and rear brakes. I had them replace the emergency cable but I could do the brakes myself. They said other than those couple of items everything on the truck looked to be in good shape. I had 99k plus miles on the truck when the frame was replaced.

    Shocks.. only because they didn't charge any labor, but I'm sure they made it up on the overpriced OEM's.
