D44 repairs, do I have it all?

Hello all, My D44 front is in serious need of repairs, thus far I have purchased:

2 new u joints
2 new upper ball joints
2 new lower ball joints
2 new inner cone bearings.

If there is anyone out there that has redone these parts on their truck and can suggest other parts i might need that are typically gonzo once you get things all pulled apart I would be grateful for any advice they have.

Many Thanks
Phil

Im going to subscribe this thread, Im planning similar overhaul of my D44HD when weather warms up here in central MO.
Ive changed axle u-joints and serviced bearings previously but rest of it will be new territory for me. Have upper and lower ball joints and new springs on hand-old leafs are shot!
Good luck with your overhaul

Needle bearings for the hubs are a good idea, especially since everything will be apart.

Wheel seals also.

What is the condition of the rest of the front end? The list can get quite long as far as replacement parts, depending on the current condition. Pivot bushings, radius arm bushings, tie rods, etc.
