ok i think its time to start doing some suspention stuff for my 5.0, i have all stock suspension except for KYB shocks and FMS springs. What is the next thing i should do and what are some of the cheapest things that i can do?

If you haven't had subframe connectors welded in that's the next thing to do.

Especially, if you have a Fox body.

You can get subframe connectors and get them welded in for ~$200

It really depends what you're going to do with the car: street only? Drag race? Road race? What's your preference?
Normally, in addition to your mods, I'd recommend subframe connectors, k-member brace, caster/camber plates, offset steering rack bushings, lower control arms, and a good alignment. That's where I'd start.
