I'm thinking of replacing my shocks,struts,springs on my stock KJ. Haven't decided between OME or Rancho components yet. Besides those specific replacement parts, are there any additional things I am likely to need to work on/replace, or might as well just replace since I'll be in there anyway?

Lower ball joints go with Moog greaseable ones available at any good parts store
Upper ball joints can only be replaced by replacing the whole upper control arm. If you are lifting then use JeepinbyAls 4.5 arms or if you want stocks one of the guys on LOST had a set with only 12000 miles on them, great buy.

What year is your Liberty and how much mileage you have on it, will determine what extra's to check/get while you have it apart.
