I am going to go with the Meyles. My only question is what other stuff am I going to do "while I'm in there". Right now I am doing the rear diff bushings and rear subframe bushings, as well as the guibos and possible re-build the driveshaft if it needs it.
What other suspension components tend to fail in the rear of the truck?

I don't have the links right now, but there are a couple of other posts around here that talk about other wear parts in the rear end that lead to excessive camber on the rear wheels and rapid wear on the inside edges of the rear tires from the toe being out of spec from worn bushings. Mine has that going on, so I also ordered (from BluntTech) Lemfoerder parts to replace the likely culprits for that. Going with the shotgun approach; some are potentially still ok, but I don't see in the PO's records that they have been done in the past, so they're probably due.
Ball joint 33326767748 2 @ $37.10 $74.20
INTEGRAL LINK 33326770749 2 @ $34.20 $68.40
Guiding suspension link 33326774796 2 @ $55.54 $111.08
Wishbone, left 33326770859 1 @ $91.66 $91.66
Wishbone, right 33326770860 1 @ $86.55 $86.55
Total of $431.89 for all of it. Prices are from Steve @ Blunttech; YMMV.
Still haven't figured out why the left wishbone costs more than the right.
