Does this look about right to rebuild 1996 4wd 2 door suspension. I read some other threads think I got everything but any insight would help.

Might look into buying control arms with bushings and ball joints installed.
Add Tie Rod sleeves/turnbuckles to your list as well as sway bat bushings.
Consider wheel bearings / CV shafts. Take it apart once.

You might double check that Moog hub - they show it now at $68 instead of $105.

Did you check the LCA type? The ball joints vary for welded/stamped vs forged. My 98 has welded/stamped.

I don’t believe they sell the LCA for 4WD. Couldn’t find them anywhere and saw a few posts saying they aren’t remanufactured anywhere. I did order sleeves. Still undecided on cv shafts as of now.

I’ll definitely check on those hub prices. And I’m pretty sure they are pressed in I couldn’t see any rivets but I’ll double check today when I get home. Thanks for the info.
