stock '08 4x4 90k miles steering/suspension refresh, which parts to feel like new truck?

Rode in a friends 2017 taco, got jealous of the ride quality and lack of body roll. Decided it's time to make my taco great again. Was wondering which 2nd gen parts are the commonly worn perpetrators causing sloppy old truck syndrome.

-Definitely want to replace shocks, I don't plan to ever lift the truck, should I get bilstein 5100's anyway? Or is there a better/cheaper option? Not shooting for cadillac ride, or hardcore offroad performance but something quality and that keeps everything under control.

I figured I should plan on doing the following:

-Drilling tapping driveshaft slip yoke to make it greasable to get rid of clunk when taking off from a stop.

-Steering rack bushings

-Sway bar endlinks

-Should I bother with engine/trans mounts?

- Anything else I should look into?

 

If you drill and tap the driveshaft, post pics.... I've been wanting to do the same.

 

Some of the pictures don't work, but I used this thread for my example:

The metal at the top of the yoke is surprisingly thin. When I center punched it prior to drilling, I could see the indent from the inside of the yoke.

 

Nice! I've taken my driveshaft down and greased it once... it's kind of a pain but worth it to get rid of that clunk for a little while.

 

Yeah, this is my first truck that didn't already have a grease fitting for those splines and guess what-first truck to have a problem there due to lack of grease. When I first diagnosed the issue with the help of this board, I was able to get enough slack to lube most of it by just unbolting the carrier bearing and pushing the boot up. Later on when I replaced the CB and all the u-joints, I decided to add the fitting.

End assembled result-fitting pointing up now. Note I only put a pump or two in there every once in awhile. With the boot on, there is no place for the grease to go unlike the u-joints.
