Fixing the Bolt

What's up everyone I'm new to the site, I figured I would share my story with you guys.
I got cut off the other day by some jerk who almost hit me in the process.
So long story short, I swerved out of the way - lost control and smashed into a curb.
The spindle/knuckle or whatever you wanna call it had snapped off of the strut.
The axle and the lower control arm broke as well.
In the rear, the dead axle/beam axle is bent.
I'll be fixing all of this by myself since I'm a mechanic.
I plan on going all aftermarket.
I'm considering getting most of the parts from ZZP
but I'm also open to other suggestions as well since I'm not really sure if anyone else makes good aftermarket upgrades.

Thanks for reading!

If you're not afraid to pay a bit higher prices Powell from Canada has a lot of trick suspension components. I think his spherical bushings carry lifetime warranty.
