F350 2wd front end overhaul

Hey fellas!
I typically hang out in the IDI section, but it's time to give my Dad's truck some loving!
It's an '03 F350 crew cab long bed 2wd single rear wheel with about 165k miles. It's bone stock.
We replaced the tie rods, did a brake job, and the wheel bearings probably 65k miles ago but that's it for the front end.
I think it's time for an overhaul.
I'm acclimated with my 85 F350 2wd, and it's basically the same thing, Twin I-Beams.
I'm thinking we'll pull the I-Beams and replace the I-Beam bushings, any tips on that?
Pull the radius arms and install new bushings, fresh tie rods, wheel bearings, brake job, and king pins.
Am I missing anything? I'm assuming it's gonna be mostly metric on the hardware...
Timeout, do these rigs even run king pins or are they ball joints on a 2wd?
Sorry, I didn't do much searching before posting this thread, and I'm usually a big stickler for that!

Get under there and check things out before you start replacing stuff. 165k isn't high on mileage and there may be no reason to change anything yet.

And they're ball joints on the 2wd.
