If you're thinking about starting to turn your own wrenches, this is a relatively easy place to start, provided you have the tools/space/time. One afternoon and you'd have all that done.
This.

$150 for harbor freight tools
~$500 for parts (assuming you replace all 4 shocks, one tie-rod end, and just the track bar bushings) You could buy a whole new track bar if you want to add more money.

Went to go from the Factory K2 Mudders - to the BF Ko3s - while inspecting doing alignment (I have 40k on vehicle). They said play in tire rod near gearbox. Trax Bar bushing are out, and that my front right shock is leaking fluid.

Being Quoted about 1632$ all in (taxes) to do those 3 things. That sound right? Think I could delay the shock fix a few months? I called Dealer and nothing covered under my warranty (certified preowned 100k).
With all this going on it looks like it’s time to go full on coilover, 40”, and long arms. Hate to say it but wattayagonna do, right? If a significant other asks, it’s all maintenance to keep it running properly. :angel:
