How to restore high mileage daily drive prerunner to handle like new

2005 184k
I would like to stick with my current setup (5100s set at 1.75) with aal, the only two aftermarket suspension upgrades made so far. However I am interested in what would be worth replacing due to the age and use, If you guys could give your input in replacing bushings, ball joints, ive seen ppl selling new stock oem ucas for cheap. Im looking to make the most cost effective replacements. Where should I start? what are key replacements? any advice concerning engine and transmission maintenance is also welcome, thanks

 

I keep posting this - never sure if the person asking for help has it. Will come in handy:

Within this FSM - factory service manual, you'll have access to all areas - engine - transmission - suspension - steering - brakes - etc + electrical wiring schemes.

You could go broke replacing everything that people could recommend.

Your best bet is to study this manual and make your own choices as no one here can see your truck. Be leery of repair shop advice. The owners Corvette payment may be due.
