upgrading the front end, any ideas?

[Shed]

I have considered upgrading my idler arms, tie rod ends, etc. I just read an article in 8 lug magazine about this. I fear I'm going to break something at a bad time and think the front end is a little sloppy. I've got 114k on stock parts.

So what is everyone else doing? What are you using?

Is this something a non mechanic could do in the driveway? The article makes it look easy!

Do u have to do an alignment afterwards? I just had one 7k miles ago.

Any issues or problems in doing this?

Anybody know roughly what these parts cost?

Thanks for any help! Shed

All but the alignment can be done in your driveway.

OE Pitman arm with frame bracket

OE idler arm

Pitman/idler support braces

Tie rod sleeves on OE tie rods OR Cognito HD tie rods

This is what I suggest/sell/run myself.

Align when done.
