today i received the upper arms, and 1 shock (1900) cant remember wich one it is? cant wait to get started,
ive alredy disasembled the whole front end once before when i replaced the lower joints on both sides,
tomorrow i should get srings and i believe the rest of the shocks, and friday, lower arms, rear bracket and camber bolts, and away i go, im start blasting everything with wd 40
about the rear? is there anything i should be carefull about?? i think the u bolts actually the accel moved to like 1/2" to a side when i hit a ditch once i can tell because there was a mark, were like this where the u bolts were before, like if te tires or axle were pointing to a the left \-o-\ now sometimes when i turn to the left the tail seem to wana pass me, how can i tell if the rear is aligned (trailing |-o-|) properly, do i measure something or just look at it till it seems strait??

What you are refering to is called tracking. Should be able to check it on an alignment machine.
On the rear not to much to worry about. Just be careful when you drop the rear axle you don't let the driveshaft slip out too much and also ensure that the diff it pointed slightly up toward the front to ensure driveline alignment. shouldn't be a big deal. The rear took me only 3 hours with the help of my brother. Seemed easy compared to the 6 hours I took on the front by myself and hand tools.

YES 18x9 and 10 will fit front and back respectively. Just need to ensure that your overall diameter is no more than 26". There are many tire calculators out there that will give you the diameter of the tire.
I think tirerack.com gives it as well. do a search for tire calculator and i am sure you will find some post as i know i posted about it a while back.
