Front End Overhaul

I'm about to undergo replacing my tie rod ends, ball joints etc. Is there anything else that I will have to ( should) replace while I'm at it?

Im not sure about replacing anything MORE than that. I know I just recently replaced ball joints all around as well as my tie rod ends and I've been fine.

I just gotta say your truck looks beast!! Way ta go!

If you haven't done your shocks in awhile, you should consider changing those out as well.

Shock Absorbers
Axle Pivot Bushings
Tie rod Ends/Sleeves
Upper/Lower Balljoints

And if they're getting bad, Camber Alignment Bushings

You could always check your wheel bearings and seals; spindle bearings and seals; and axle shaft u-joints since you'll have the knuckles off. You won't necessarily need to replace them, but if they're questionable, now's the time to do it.
