Rear suspension rebuild?
 
I'm pretty confident this is something I need to do on a lift. Anyway, have a few questions before I start to order parts... the rear of my SDL is worse than the front :eek: So, I need to do everything there.

Is it possible to do those trailing arm bushings with the subframe attached still or does the entire rear have to come out?

Also, I figure I should do new CV axles? Or Should I just replace the boots (if that can be done)?

Going to do new springs with mounts too as well as toss in a 2.47:1 :)

CV Boots
 
If you can find someone with a Flexx gun, you can replace just the boots. If not, rebuilt axles would seem to be the easiest way to go. Here's a thread with some pictures to look at (a search for "axle" or "cv" will find lots of others):

Final cost was about $300 to replace both axles with the rebuilts from CVJ Axles in Denver. Based on reports of mixed results, I would not use the cheaper rebuilts available at some of the auto parts stores. There is also a German-made new axle for about $400 each if you don't want a rebuilt.
