I was thinking I had a coil front end, am I mistaken and have a tortion front end? Sorry total newb at this stuff and trying to buy shocks.

 

You have a coil front end, you're looking at your anti-roll bar and in front of that is your rack and pinion steering linkage tie rod links.
Your shocks are inside the coil springs.

 

Thanks, had myself worried for a sec before i you tubed it.

 

Your dust boots on the tie red ends need replacing too.

 

I think it pretty much all needs replacing. I'm looking at this as the next project after the shocks

 

 

Probably not at first. There's so much that hasn't been maintained on this truck that I'll probably go with a kit as shown and then replace those with better parts down the road if I end up keeping the truck.While the Moog name has a good rep, it would cost 2-3 times up front and there are other projects that I need to address before I can throw that kind of money at a 19 year old truck. If I get some of the other issues worked out then it's a different story. Until that point in time a kit will be fine and make driving it much safer\better than it is now. If I had no other work that needed to be done to the truck I would definitely go with Moog and ball joints that can be greased. If however, you would like to donate to my cause, I will gladly accept any new Moog suspension parts you would like to send me that work for a 2000 2.5L RWD front coil real leaf :) (just kidding)

 

 

So adding it all up it comes to $630 for Moog parts for a front suspension (ball joints, control arms, bushings etc) coil springs and camber...does that sound about right?
