300k and Installing new lift, any other parts I should change

We have an '03 V8 with 300k miles on it and getting ready to do the following: Install Icon 2.5 CO's
uniball UCA's
Fox 2.0 rear shocks
Metaltech 3"overland springs
2 new CV shafts
new front hub assemblies on both sides

Any suggestions on other parts to change out while I have everything torn apart? I know with 300k some stuff will be worn out and need to be changed and would like to get everything gathered up before I start. I know without looking at the truck it is hard to say what needs to be changed but I'm okay with replacing some of that stuff even if it's not completely worn out because I'm sure it's close. I would rather spend a little extra now while everything is apart instead of spending a full day taking everything apart in 6 myhs to change a $30 part I just had out.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Definitely check and maybe go ahead and replace the inner and outer tie rods, and the lower control arms (bushings and or ball joints may be worn, mine were shot at 150k. Since you're doing the uppers it may be worth to do it all). These parts are expensive though, I just used a cheap eBay kit. If you do all that, you're just some sway bar links away from having a fully rebuilt front end and suspension!
