Thank you, Scoti.
I want to get an alignment done on the truck after I install the new tires. I haven't had an alignment done in several years now. Whoops
The control arm bushings are the only front end wear components that I have not replaced yet, so I'm thinking I should go ahead and replace them before I get the new tires on so I only have to pay for one alignment.
So plan for the first attempt is new control arm bushings (keeping the 63 style) with the caster mod and move my upper ball joint from mounting on top of the control arm to mounting on the bottom side. If I discover the upper ball joints are bad (shouldn't be since they are only about 5 years old) then I can change out to the taller ball joint.
That plan is something I think I can achieve within the 4 days I have available to work on it.
Exhaust modifications and rear sway bar will be done later
