Default jeep overhaul

So i got the lift on, the jeep looks great, and i finally got a job. Im trying to get a list of things together that i need to get the jeep running in tip top shape. i already have :
brown dog motor mounts
tranny mount
SYE and driveshaft (tcase drop isnt cutting it)
complete fluid change (tranny, tcase, differential)
784 injectors
tps sensor (suspect one now is bad)
rust protection (por 15 the whole underside)

anything i should add? thanks!

Instead of POR15 - check out Rust Bullet, I applied that then got some 3M rubber spray and even where the rust was BAD, now feels very solid.

Standard tune up (plugs, wires, filter, etc), replace all your suspension bushings, tie-rod ends, ball joints, u-joints, brakes...

Recommendations for ball joints and tie rod ends?

Get 'em from Napa and you'll be fine. I'm not saying the 'have' to be replaced, but you should give your front end steering/suspension a good once over and replace anything that's worn...
