If you dont plan on hauling anything real heavy I would get rid of the leaf springs. They probably dont help with the ride. Also while you have it apart take off the trailing arms and replace the bushings and bolts. I had mine powder coated. You can take a wire wheel to the frame and brush on some por15. Take a look at your brake lines while you have it apart. Looks like the truck has seen some salt so the lines could be damaged and it's a breeze to replace the rear sections while the bed is off. Since the bed is out of the way you should replace all the bolts with grade 8. Do it (or over do it) right the first time and you won't ever need to do it again.
