Not to step on anyone's toes here, but this is a pretty big difference in price. Also note the part numbers for the rear control arm bushings. Those are not widely reported since they are sub-assemblies not on parts diagrams.
Front Upper Control Arm - $62.50 x4 $250
Front LCA (Front Side) - $64.50 x2 $129
Front LCA (Back Side) - $67.50 x2 $135
Rear Upper Control Arm - $42.50 x4 $170
Rear Lower Control Arm - $58.50 x4 $234
Total $918
And on the topic of Sankei 555 lower ball joints, these (RockAuto) are original 555-boxed LBJ's for only $12.80! Edit: These are not boxed as 555's, but came in a 555 bag in a white box and match other 555 ball joints that were brand-boxed.

Happy to help!
Do you have any more info on this? All Bushings for $240? @cruiseroutfit
I'd love to swap out all my bushings because I feel too many minor imperfections which vibrate through the cabin. Since its about 17-18 years old with 193K I am hoping bushings help the ride.

Clarification: all eight bushings for the control arms only.

Some updates are in order:
Replaced all for ball joints back in January and really didn't notice much difference. The ball joints came out all knackered so there is at least some safety improvements.
Replaced the front and rear sway bar links. Did not notice any improvement.
Replaced the rear control arms (all four) and there is a very noticeable difference in the drive-ability. More specifically, the minor road imperfections are not as noticeable, that weird wandering like effect from rear on curved or non-flat surface is gone and overall the truck is much more predictable at higher speeds.

@ClassyJalopy what rear links did you use to replace? I normally use OE, but see some rockauto for less than $300 for all 4 links.... they have to be better than my old ones.

I bought OE Toyota from PartSouq. I also ordered the mounting bolts as the FSM recommends replacing them too.
