What else should I do when replacing shocks?

Just put in an order with GM parts house for:

metal stabilizer bar end links
front stabilizer bar bushings
c6 z06 shocks
fuel filter

Anything else you would replace or service while you are in there?

Are you going to replace your sway bars and the links or just the links?

Lube all the bushings you can see.

Even if you don't take them out, you can use a spray can white grease from wal-mart.
