    Hey TW! I'm a relatively new member and owner of an 09 trd OR 6mt access cab. I bought the truck at 160k a couple years ago, now at 201k the truck feels like driving a trampoline down the road. I am about to tackle a pretty big diy suspension and general (coolant/diffs and tc oil/brake fluid/spark plugs) refresher and im asking for advice on the job like what to expect and are there fasteners i should be buying? With the help of some wonderful people on this site I've acquired new stock UCA'S shocks and coils and some lightly used leaf springs. I also ordered some moog tie rod ends, LCA's, and top hats since the coilovers didn't come assembled. I understand the consensus with aftermarket control arms is pretty negative but my balljoints are hurting and I'm sure the bushings could be refreshed. I need the best highway reliability I can reasonably achieve so I decided to basically renew the suspension. Is there anything I'm not thinking of when going into this? I appreciate yall's time and wisdom if you're willing to share it!
