So my wheel bearings are going out and I’m gonna replace those and probably my LCA while I’m in there. Anything else you think I should knock out while it’s apart. Just hit a 100k on the 2016

What about cv axels?
Your signature says you have a Maxtrac 7'' lift, those are 2WD only, yeah?

If your truck is 4WD then yes, it's super easy to swap the CV axles as well when the bearings/hubs are out. If it's 2WD, you don't have CV axles to even worry about. :)

You'll want to do a full front end rebuild.

Upper/lower arms
Inner/outer tie rods
Shocks if needed.
