Hey guys i will be replacing tie rods and upper and lower ball joints this up coming weekend and also installing an Icon adj. traction bar.

Is there anything else i should replace while i am down there? Thanks in advance.

Hub seals (the big yellow o-ring) and axleshaft seals (the ones on the inner shaft side of the u-joint yoke) come to mind...

and anything else?

If I were you I would lube all the brake parts for good measure. Its free and only takes a second but can save you in the long run! If any of the pis hang up look for bent ones, and run a wire wheel on them. My brakes feel like new from doing that stuff every oil change or so.

I just had the rotors and pads done about 5k ago but might as well throw some lube on there for good measure.

Clean and grease your spindle bearings. Get som new caliper pin kits from Ford.

The powerstroke shop has a nice kit that includes ball joints and seals.

Has anyone done a write up in terms of working on the front end R/R ball joints and Tie Rods?

Yup, I got one here for the ball joints. Haven't seen one for tie rod ends though.

This guy has some great info with pics on his site. Great place to get o-rings from as well.
