Default fix or sell

OK guys. I'm fairly certain I know what I am going to do. However, I'm willing to listen to others especially those with better money skills than me. As well as those that can be more objective since they have no attachments to the vehicle.

My personal truck is an 02 Trailblazer LT, 2wd, 4.2 I6 with 200k miles. It's in very good condition and everything works. It's basically fully loaded being an LT. It's now time to rebuild the suspension on the truck. I need ball joints, shocks, and hubs. I'm estimating $1500-$2000 to get it all fixed. I don't have the equipment to do it all myself so I'm going to have to pay someone unfortunately. Looking at autotrader, the truck is worth $5-6000 in this area. Should I fix it or move on to something else? I'd be buying used and older not new. I really like my TB too. I think I'm just going to fix it but wanted others objective input.

Thanks
