A close inspection of the front suspension would be first and I would make my list. Likely from the sound of things I would replace the springs with 2" lowering springs (assuming that is what you want to keep it at), corresponding shocks, and rubber bump stops. Sounds like the current springs may have been torched to lower truck. Some retailers will even have springs and shocks paired up as a kit.

For the steering I would go with new tie rods, pitman arm, and idle arm if any look bad. Moog is a quality brand. The steering box have have excessive slack and may need to be adjusted or replaced. RockAuto has got a lot of my money on parts such as this.

Summit Racing and plenty others have free shipping. You just have to compare total drive out price as free shipping means higher priced parts. Just have to see what combo works best for you.
