New Bilsteins installled all the way around with newer rust free stock springs in front. Also replaced my old rusty tire hoist with a used one in much better shape. Replaced the rear muffler bracket ( the one you are supposed to take off to remove or install hitch) that was totally rusted with a new one. Replaced my rusted out steel spare rim with one of my alloy take-offs.
