*Sorry a bit long*
Here's a list of what I've done thus far, Keep in mind it does get expensive especially if you're buying it all outright. I bought pieces here and there over a period of 4-5 years. After doing all of this, the handling has improved significantly. I daily drive my duster like crazy, I even drive it long distances over 500 miles quite often. The squishy ride is gone for the most part, it now feels solid and responsive with good ride. I will say however that it does get floaty at 110 mph and at 120+ the front end starts to feel like its disconnected with the road. (yes I have gotten it up to 127, then I backed off.) This has more to do with aerodynamics. *Look up chin spoilers on this forum.* (one of my next endeavors).
I also have 17 inch W rated tires (168 mph).

Also since the K-member was for a 72 below A-body I had to ditch the 73+ motor spool mounts and go with:
Poly-Loc Mount Set or
Mancini Engine Replacement Rubber Motor Mount. You can also use:
Moroso Solid Steel Motor Mounts *Fair warning, these will transmit engine vibes like crazy.*
Also, Poly Urethane bushing kits are a good option:
Energy Suspension 5.18104G Energy Suspension Hyperflex Bushing Kits | Summit Racing
Sadly however my rear suspension is still stock. There are future plans with new springs, 8 3/4 upgrades with rear disk brakes. etc.
