Hello all I have an 06 is350 all stock suspension and looking to revive it with 200K+ on the clock. Recently had all the tires wear out on the inner sidewalls on all four corners so new tires are also needed unfortunately (Maybe bad alignment since it wasn't done in over a year).
Alright regarding the shocks/struts it looks like KYB is the standard option from rock auto, outside of this should I get a new strut tower/mount from the dealer as well? The lower control arm bushings and also sway bar bushings could be done as well.... I think dealer parts for those are needed. Outside of those 3-4 items is there anything else that can be done on the suspension? Would new springs need to be installed if so which ones/OEM?
Let me know your thoughts and feedback with what you've done, I only need it stock performance since it will be a daily driver.

In addition to what you listed, it honestly needs a thorough inspection to know what the condition of everything else is.
Things like:
Upper / lower control arm bushings and ball joints.
Inner / outer tie rods, boots.
All sway bar end links.
CV boots. While its apart, good time to replace cracked boots.
Inspect everything in the rear suspension.
Any bushing that has cracks or dry rot...
Basically take it in aI'd have someone show you what is defective and why. Make sense?
Also, don't forget steering shaft u-joints.
