What else good to do while changing front rotors?

Gentlemen,

Having warped at least one front rotor, I'm going to be changing them both and the pads at the same time.

Is there anything else that would be a good idea to do while I've got it apart?

2000 Expy, EB, auto, 5.4l, 4x4

Thanks.

Nope, if it ain't broke...don't fix it.

I would highly recommend cleaning the slide pins. Having just replaced a caliper mounting bracket on my SD because of a siezed pin, I would make a point of checking it out. Pull them out, clean them up, make sure you put a good grease on them and reinstall.
How many miles on your rig? That would help to know what else to look at.
