Question 60,000 mile question?

I've ordered the TVS kit with new shocks from LFP and before it gets here has anybody any recommendations about what else i might need replace considering the mileage.
Over here it's a little difficult when your trucks in bits and you suddenly find out you need some part u hadn't reckoned on (kinda hard as L parts suppliers are non existent and a quick visit to a local pep-boys is out of the question too!)
Any and all input appreciated.

Thanks.

Ps- it's a '99 model

Pretty much a straight forward install for me. No surprises. Basic tools.

From: Colorado,
60,000 miles and other side of the pond.
hmmmmm

here is some food for thought

brake pads-brake fluid
air filter
tranny fluid and filter
differential fluid for rear
Might think about all fluids and filters
Radiator hoses- upper/lower
check your tire rod ends.....
Clunk washers & cam bolts
driveshaft U-joints
Front wheel bearings should be greased and seals replaced
spark plugs / plus check um for being tight
PCV valve
Fog lights
Battery

Don't know if this it the kind of list you ment but if it's 6 years old and parts aren't available these are things I would look at doing.

Thanks for the reply guys,
Amojonny, how long did it take u to fit the TVS kit? did u have some help and is it a driveway install?

EZGZ, i was looking for the kind of answers u gave and apart from the rear axle fluid i've changed everything in the last 2 months.
More specifically i was asking if there was anything i could change while i was installing the handling kit, ie ball joint? tie rods? etc- something that would be easy while i've gotten a few parts off for the install

Thanks guys

Mark
