If my cam phasers needs to be replaced, would i need to replace the lash adjusters and lifters too or just the l/a's? Im guessing this would be a good time for the dealer to replace spark plugs as well...

lash adjusters/lifters are pretty much the same thing...just 2 different terms. the term lifter is more used in pushrod applications and lash adjuster used in OHC applications.

"Lash adjuster" is what Ford calls a timing chain tensioner, actually. And if your truck rattles/clatters on start up, I'd recommend them.
