Front suspension questions

I have an 04 F250 4x4 V8. I need to do U-Joints and I figured since I have to take it all apart, what other wear parts should be replaced one I pull the stuff out of it? I was thinking upper and lower ball joints as well? Anything else? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Repack or replace the needle bearing inside the hub. Then grease the main bearing by way of the abs sensor hole. If any brake components need replacing nows the time. I'm doing all the above before winter also.
