I want to replace most of the front hub/axle assembly on my 2004 Jeep lj (3" lift with 33" tires). Not very mechanically inclined but want to get through it. I planned to order the following parts to complete the work. What am I missing?

1. Axles - Pre-assembled Ten Factory (MG22148) chromoly axles
2. Axle Seals - Ten Factory MG21102
3. Crown Steering knuckles
4. Re-paint and re-use brake shields
5. Hub & Bearing Assemblies - Moog 513158
6. Hub bearing mounting bolts
7. Ball Joints - Moog K3134T & K3161T
8. Centric 120.67045 Rotors
9. Clean up and re-use brake calipers
9. Black Magic brake pads

Missing items?
Better products than spec'd in same price range?

I am re-building the front end as it had been sitting for quite a while and needs attention although I may be going overboard getting it ready to be my daughter's first vehicle (Hers on the weekdays - Mine on the weekends). I have already replaced tie rod, drag link, track bar, stabilizer, all 8 control arms.

Thanks for the check!!
 
How about the pinion seal and bearing?
Did you install new bushings for the control arm mounting points?
Not an expert at all, but just thinking with my thumbs 🤪
 
Looks pretty thorough. If you're going through that effort of replacement/overhaul you may consider the semi-loaded reman Centric calipers. I just did rotors/pads on mine and tried to reuse the calipers but ended up replacing both (at different times) because they both locked up - and yes, the fluid was flushed first - I think the issue was debris in the piston, which I don't know how to disassemble and clean so just bought new calipers instead.

As for mfrs, I've always used Spicer ball joints and Timken wheel bearing & hub assemblies, so can't really comment on Moog.
 
Thanks for the input:

Pinion seal & bearing - I planned on doing when I replace the drive shafts. They don't seem to be leaking yet but I'd like to replace the stock drive shafts soon

Control Arm Bushings - Yep - Replaced them all (even those nasty uppers. They suck!!)
