1996 xlt 2wd ifs ford explorer. I’ve got a check list for a front end rebuild that im about to do I would like for someone with more experience to recheck this list for me and give me a little of advice or point me in the right thread direction for suspension components
Rough country Shocks

Moog Lower ball joint

Moog inner tie rods

Moog upper control arms

Moog outer tie rod ends

Moog caster shims

Moog sway bar end link

TSS 4” spindles

Am I missing anything?
 






Sway bar bushings and front bearings
 






I would do inner tie rods at same time they are always worn out and it is much easier to replace both at the same time because you can simply
Make the new inner and outer assembly exactly the same length as what you removed

96 likely could use new wheel bearings too
Since you are rwd you use regular old style inner and outer bearings and replace the wheel seal on the back of the rotor. Timken or spicer bearings are preferred
