98 re-build

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a 98 Surburban LT 1500 4/4 automatic that has been my family car since new. I bought my wife a new Tahoe, and have decided to keep it as a work truck and camping vehicle. It has 93K and needs some suspension work. I know the tierods are pretty worn, so I'm ready to put some $$$$ in it, and would like some input.
This thing drives like a boat on the waves, and I don't like the way the front wheels wobble after I hit a bump, like they need more support or something.

I know I want to replace the shocks. I only go off-road a couple times a year, so I'm not necessarily keying in on that, just need something stronger, and that last longer than originals. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Should I replace the front springs w/something a little stiffer?

How about the rear, should I add a leaf? I do some towing.

How about a bigger, better sway-bar?
