Can I get a front end parts list please?

I got my front brakes working well and would like to put the 2" coil spacers up front and longer shocks but would also like to replace all appropriate parts up front to avoid any kind of death wobble and do it all at once. Everything up front looks original and the bushings appear cracked even though they are lubed well. Steering parts that are recommended also. Can any of you guys give me a quick list then I can research from there? There is a napa, autozone and advance near by if anyone prefers one over another. I imagine napa would be the way to go.

Im right there with ya, i can grab any front end rod and move the joint a half inch or so. so much so im worried they will pop apart soon- no death wobble yet- just a half turn of play in the wheel
Im looking at lukes links, click select all- add to cart

I just finished refurbishing all my tie rod ends with the Luke's link. I was pleased with the ease of installation and the truck feels a hole lot better! Only time will tell though....

I dont have any wheel play and I will look around under the truck and see if things move manually. I just imagine it is time for an overhaul do to mileage. I dont mind changing parts when I have time before things break. Im looking for a list such as...

ball joints
tie rod ends
sway bar end links
shocks
idler arm
pitman arm

What else?

Are you going stock with the front end or going with the 98/99 T-steering upgrade ??

I was planning on stock but will research the upgrade. What are the advantages in your opinion? The truck seems to steer just fine now but I will be raising the front and rear 2" to to gain some clearance.
