I would consult the WIS tables for ride height. If you don't have a WIS there was a download on the General forum. this is a document you really need. If you don't have on, have someone send you the tables and procedure. Make sure you have your alignment guy use these settings.
I would buy the full yellow Koni suspension from GS it is a good deal.
Use the original springs. Use spacers on the rear if you need to get things up to the right ride height. Remember the lower the rear suspension the more the camber and toe in. So the ride height has to be right.
I would replace the the outer lateral arm bushings. I bet the upper ones are shot.
Set the suspension up in the top setting on the rear Konis. I bet you will see a big difference.
If you are handy and have a few tools this can be done by you. I recomment a 1/2 impact wrench either electric of pneumatic. a set of large metric impact sockets, and a good spring compressor. I bought lots of this stuff at harbor freight.
the only gotcha is the rosebud bushings in the rear control arms. Need a special tool for that removal and insertion. I used a Harbor freght tools for this too.
good luck......lots of people here have done this repair.
You will see a big difference.
