Need Suspension Advice

I have 98 Toyota 4 Runner 4wd 2.7L with a 5 speed. This vehicle is my daily driver. I do a lot of camping so i often times have a fair amount of weight in the rear of my vehicle. I live in Missouri so the most important off road features for me are being able to travel quick on gravel roads but still having enough suspension to travel down very rutted out trails. I am trying to decide what suspension upgrades would be best suited for my needs and are most cost effective. I currently have Bilstein HD Shocks, Polyurethane Sway Bar Bushings and Wheeler Off Roads Polyurethane Steering Rack Bushing Kit. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Polyurethane Bushings...

Just wondering, I have a 1998 4Runner, and am on the search for some nice polyurethane bushings for the rear control arms, stabilizer, and laterial control rod...

Where did you find yours? Thanks!

No one actually sells rear control arm bushings that I know of. What you will have to do is pull one out and take down the measurements (this is explained in the energy suspension catalog) and then go through the energy suspension catolog and find one that matches your dimensions. The sway bar bushings can be purchased by measuring the size of the sway bar and then buying the universal grease-able sway bar bushings from energy suspension. For the lateral control rod you will have to do the same thing as with the control arms.
