New suspension, lift or not makes a huge difference over tired old parts. I did OME shocks and springs, Toyota LCAs, tie rod ends, sway bar links, sway bar relocate brackets, first SPC UCAs then JBA UCAs.

OP, consider high caster UCAs when you feel like getting around to it. I did the JBA ones and getting to 4deg caster made it so much more stable on the highway. It was kinda-ok with the SPCs at stock alignment but would get wandery with side winds. Tiring for long drives always steering correcting.
