Question Rear may be coming out...what else should be replaced?

My rear may be coming out (check the post)... I was wondering that since the rear is coming out, what else should be done since its out?
Here are a couple of ideas...

shocks and springs (what do you guys recommend?)

muffler (it doesn't have to cuz its not in the way, but i've been meaning to do this)

Don't know about bushings...what do you guys think and suggest? I think mine are in bad condition although they haven't given me any probs...they are just old.

Thanks alot in advance and if you can, let me know how difficult it is to do this and links to products...i'm still looking for the rear end if you know of any on sale too...

I recently upgraded to a GSL rear end and put a set of tokico hp "blues" in along with eibach springs and energy suspension poly bushings on the lower control arms and watts link. The ride is kinda rough, but its still streetable. Hope that helps.
