Icon2 EG + Tokico HP shocks/springs (1.4 drop) + ?

hey all,

I just bought the tokico hp setup for my daily (springs and shocks wtih 1.4 drop) and wondering what else I should look into getting regarding upgrading other suspension compenents to avoid blown bearings and stuff like that within the near future? Should I bother getting rear lower control arms with bushings? I have brand new front upper and lower control arms but their OEM. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It just snowed where I live and people ahve already put their summers back on....never seen so many mini vans in the ditch on my ride to work before.....

I don't see why you should replace control arms, but bushings are a good idea if you're already replacing shocks and springs.

Look specifically at the rear trailing arm bushings. They tend to tear up pretty bad. I got my replacements for like $38 a side, but they're a pain to pull/replace.
