“Budget” Suspension Build Input
I rebuilt my duster over the winter. I got a deal on some NOS .92" bars (stockers were .85, increases wheel rate from around 110 lb/in to 150 lb in), kept everything rubber and used moog offset UCA bushings, mevotech LCA bushings and ball joints, but I did use poly strut rod bushings. I added a hellwig sway bar (my car had none), which was a fantastic improvement. especially if you're keeping 14's, I'd downgrade some of your upgrades and spend the money on new rear springs as well, especially if yours are sagging a bit, and go with the 6 leaf HD. that increases the rear spring rate from 85lb/in to 120-130 lb/in.
I'm running KYB's, I haven't experienced an overly harsh ride with the .92" bars and 6 leaf HD springs.
