Any other factory suspension upgrades?

[mobileaudio25]

I have been hitting all of the junkyards here in Columbus Ohio for about the past year and a half. I'm trying to get every gbody bolt on suspension upgrade there is. Here is what I have so far, please let me know if there are any other upgrades.

Thicker front sway bar
Jounce bars
Grand Prix bar
Radiator cross bars
Fender to core support bars
Firewall to core support bars
Rear sway bar
Rear seat bars
Tied rear of frame together with 2x3 angle iron
F41 steering gear box
Jeep steering shaft
ZQ8 bumpstops

I'm going to purchase the UMI shock tower brace this winter.

Are there any other possible bolt on suspension upgrades I'm missing?

ZQ8 bump stops help a lot too, I put some on my ride and the ride has smoothed out when going over large bumps in the road or over railroad tracks.

Yeah I put a set of those on also when I installed the tubular uppers and 2in umi lowering springs . Thanks forgot to mention those

Tall upper balljoints help the camber curve a lot and are a quick simple job.

I am running .5 in taller umi upper balljoints when I did my front end rebuild. To be honest the Malibu handles great I'm just looking for anything I'm missing

I think you have it covered. You've seen the sticky right?

Yes I have studied that sticky haha. I just want more I've been on the hunt for a while and I'm not ready to be done hunting ! I love junkyard upgrades. I've already done the blazer brake upgrade I guess next I will move to a rear disc brake upgrade for the 8.5

Another upgrade is metal bearing upgrade in the steering column.

I've never heard of that before what are the benefits of it? Do you have to remove the whole column to install ?

no, i believe its a metal ball bearing replacement from an astro van in place of the plastic bearing in the bottom of the steering column.
