Default Looking For Suggestions, Front End Component Replacement

Well I am going to be tearing apart my front end here soon and I am planning on replacing my Ball Joints/ Control Arm Bushings along with swapping out my torsion bars with a set of ZR2 T-Bars I just picked up. What else should I look at replacing while I have it all apart? Are there any bushing in/ Around the torsion bars? I Want to try and get it all out of the way in one shot. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

no bushings for t bars. just shake it down and check hubs axle boots tie rods and idler pitman arm. and i would do all 4 balljoints when u have it apart there cheap. be carfeful with the torsion bars, read up on safe changing. i dont see a need to replace if not broken of totally sagged, they are adjustable ya know... set of front shocks never hurt either. and sway bar links if there busted of course. its not a bad job just be careful alot of tension releases when u undo the ball joints, put a jack under the lower control arm so u dont get a nasty scare i love this smiley!

Make sure you really tighten bolts that attach shocks, or you will hear every bump.
