I suggested in the other thread that since you already have rear springs on the shelf, take a few minutes and install them now. Aside from having to wrestle with rusty fasteners it shouldn't take long. The car will sit better and be - relatively - saf(er) to drive while you fine tune your to-do list and assign priorities.
StaBil is rumored to help old gas get out of a system that sat idle for a while. I used that and Chevron Techron fuel system cleaner on the 850T5 when I rescued it from long-term storage, no further action needed on my part.
Have my shocks and struts failed?

I agree with all of that.
Then dilute the gas, keep it full, add the conditioner, and the injector cleaner. With carbs, the floats, screens, jets, tubes, passages would all be gunked up. With injection, it’s mostly the tiny nozzles in the injectors. You might add one bottle of injector cleaner to each tank for a bit.
