9" or dana 60 rear to replace the 10 bolt
new strong driveshaft for new rear
LCAs and a torque arm to replace the flimsy stamped stockers.
Adjustable panhard rod to center your rear again after you lowered it
subframe connectors (I like the Midwest Chassis design personally)
torque arm relocation mount to get the torque arm off the tail of the trans

Then your pretty much reinforced, and its time for long tube headers, catback and a mail order tune.
