Need advice re: completely servicing the struts on '93 245 200

I've been thinking about doing the whole strut thing on my '93 245. The front is loose. And, even the smallest little bump in the road and the front end clunks. I'm guessing that the struts have never been changed out. I'm looking for advice on the items I'll need so that I can do this job once. I'd also like to know what others think regarding what brands to buy for the replacement struts. I definately prefer the gas charged struts, and am initially leaning to Boge Turbo Gas Pro's. I want a firm, confident feel to the front end, not mushy, or crashy.

Now, what do I need to do this job myself?

I'm thinking that I need to purchase the Sears spring compressors.
Should I just go ahead and expect to replace the strut "bearings?"
What other items will I need to do the job well so that I don't have to duplicate the job having forgotten to replace something.

As always, thanks so much for all the advice!


Sincerely,

JBeechcraft
