What should I replace while I've got the truck on a lift?

Gonna have access to my buddy's lift in a warm garage for a couple of days. I already switched out the steering components and lubed everything up, but I'd love some advice about what's worth tackling while I've got it in a good place to wrench.

Initial plans are to do the steering rack guide fix with newer parts (I've got a '96), do the Tundra brake swap, and to track down any bushings I can. Wish there were an off-the-shelf bushing kit for the 3rd gens. Might throw a coat of oil on the undercarriage since I'm driving it back from KC in a week to New York.

Ok KC! Home sweet home.
So you have a 96. Seems old. What about suspension like springs, shocks and struts?

What about changing all the fluids. Diff, Xcase trans oil front diff.?
How are your tires?
Check your front ball joints.
Does he do alignments?
Bleed the breaks all the way? Flush with new fluid?
Interior detail. Wash and wax in the warm shop?
Frame coat paint / fluid film since your going back east.

Good luck on the trip
