The steering box on my 1990 gmc jimmy has a bad leak and I know I need new brakes so figure might as well do a full rebuild of the front since I have no clue the last time this was done. I have been looking at napa, rock auto, and gmpartsdirect to try and piece together all I need but wanted to get a sanity check before I order everything especially since the parts have been hard to confirm

1990 gmc jimmy stock height 31x10.5r15 tires (attached pictures of the front as well)

steering box: lares 11263
upper ball joints: napa NCD 2601343 (planned on going ac delco but seem iffy where these seem loved)
lower ball joints: napa NCD 2601342

outer drag link: moog es2027l
inner drag link: moog es2026r
drag link adjuster: acdelco 45a6011

left tie rod: moog ds893
right tie rod: moog es2011r
tie rod adjuster sleeve: moog es362s

front shocks: bilstein 24009232
rear shocks: bilstein 24009331

Sure, you can replace all that, but you didn’t mention any issues aside from from a leaky ps box. I don buy parts all that often, but I think Moog is generally a trusted source for ball joints and rod ends. Bilstein is also a highly recommended source for shocks.
I don’t disagree with replacing all that, on a new to me vehicle that I plan on keeping, I have replaced things just so I knew they were new.

The odometer broke at 285k so I am unsure how many miles are on it. Why i figured get it nice since I dont plan on selling.
 
This might be more than you are wanting to get into but ya might consider bushings for the sway bar and spring eyelets along with the upper shackle mounts - by now these are no doubt severely worn.

Yeah I was thinking about those too.

I was actually going to have a shop do the ball joints and figure have then do the alignment and tie rods as well.

This will be my second phase.
 
Can anyone verify the part numbers look right? I searched but couldn’t find any posts that had these either
