That's quite a list. What is your opinion on the xFactor cross members? I'm considering them on my rig since it looks like it may be a year or two before I can get IS installed. BTW, is that St. Augustine, FL? I'm in Jacksonville.

I highly recommend it, it really does seem to reduce frame flex at the axles. It’s also a job you can do yourself.

Sounds like you're on top of it and now have yourself a great rig.
