Plugs... Depends. They are supposed to be good for 100K. I did all of mine at 60K just for grins and a irratating COP issue. Fuel filter, yes... They are cheap and very simple to replace. It sure would not hurt to have the coolant flushed and filled with new coolant either. Obviously, you'll want to check the air filter as well and perhaps check the tranny fluid and or replace.

time for tune-up
Motorcraft plugs are probably best, but Autolite makes a good platinum plug. Just be careful when torquing the plugs. I just had a plug get blown out the head after I changed the plug 40K miles ago. The original plugs should be good for 100K.
