I am going to tear into the front end of the truck and replace the items listed above. I need to know if anybody has any other input as far as longevity goes. I am purchasing the Cognito leveling kit, P&I support and tie rods from NCT. I still haven't decided on Pitman and Idler (stock or aftermarket?) And while I'm at it is there anything else that will help the longevity so I don't have to do this again in 40k? Truck is not severely abused but it is a work truck. No drag racing or 4 wheel launches. Just interested in longevity.

You will be fine with the stock Pitmasn and idler with the support kit. If they arn't too worn you can continue to use them and save that few hundred buck. After the kit is installed they wont wear anymore.
Your well on your way to fixing that frontend up for the long haul

X3 on your "to do" list items. I have yet to have any probs with my HD tie-rods...just a plan on a re-alignment after the install.:thumb:
