FNG here, ghost follower for 260,000 miles...doing major front end work

Thanks for the add, I've been ghost following for 260,000 miles on a 2001 4x4 3.4L and I'm getting ready to do a major overhaul on my front suspension. (I'm a former commercial diver tender and a wind turbine technician. I've got some mechanical and electrical skills and have replaced shocks, starters, cv's, clutches, etc.) I live in Colorado and use my truck primarily for light off-roading and daily driving. The daily drive is rough and I'm open to any suggestions for softening bumps and reducing sway when dodging/hitting potholes.

Preemptive Yes Answers to ?'s
- Yes there is a differential drop installed
- My truck is a manual transmission
- I'm replacing a previous pair of Coilovers W/3 inch lift
- There is a 1 inch Daystar body lift that (in my head at least) I feel has added some dampening to a stiff ride on crappy roads.

Parts on order for Replacement or upgrade
- Carrier Barrier Drop Kit (I got that take off shudder)
- Bilstein Adjustable Shocks - 5100 Series w/OME Springs 3.0" Lift
- New Nuts & Bolts for Bilsteins
- Monroe Strut Top Plate/Upper Coil Support
- 1/4" Thick Single Strut Top Plate Spacer (Hoping this adds dampening/cushion)
- OME Front Trim Spacer 5MM (got driver side lean)
- OEM LCA's (Bushings are shot on the originals)
- OEM Ball Joints (Got Moog on now)
- OEM Inner/Outer Tie Rods & Adjustment Nut
- DSS CV Axles (One is leaking)
- Steering Rack and Pinion Bushing Kit
- Spidertrax 1.25" Wheel Spacers (got that tire rub)
- DuraGo® - Front Wheel Hub Repair Kit

Parts on order for Rebuild
- Allpro OffRoad (APOR) UCA rebuild bushings & parts
