Ball Joint spacers

kidding yes i searched
Been collecting parts to do balljoint spacers on my 1994 4runner no question on how to do it

what i want to know is what else besides upper and lower ball joint should i replace while i am at it ?

I will be doing ball joint spacers, diff drop, swaybar spacers and locking hubs.
Think i am going to change boots and grease in my cv so what else should i be looking at changing? The 4runner has 265,000 on it if that matters.

I would check it all for movement. At the most I'd replace the upper bj's just out of laziness and not wanting to take that area apart again for a while but if nothing else is in bad shape I see no reason to replace it. It's all easy enough anyways so if it isn't broken, don't fix it. My upper BJs are original with 203k miles on them and were in the best shape out of all my steering/suspension components up front.

Well if you want to do it now and don't want to do it in the future more power to you. It would be lame to spend the money and not need em for another 50k but oh... well! Didn't mean to answer a question you already knew the answer to
