Re: suspension over haul
Tubular linkages won't have alot of bearing on your ride as much as it will cornering performance. What bushings you choose would have the most effect.

Re: suspension over haul
personally id buy a front end rebuild kit. keep the stock k-member i havent seen one that overly impresses me yet besides bmr's. if your not racing id get a set of stock a-arms with new bushing probably rubber if your not racing. if you plan on racing in the future i would get the umi a-arms i like them alot and get the sway bar set. if you ever get really into handling your best bang for buck will be shocks and tires.

Re: suspension over haul
The best a-arm bushings (between rubber and poly) would be the DelALum from Global west. Probably worth looking into if you are keeping stock arms.
As for sway bars, I'd look around and local junk yards and see what you can come up with. The aftermarket bars are fine, but you can get used GM bars at a fraction of the cost.
