The shocks on my 04 are shot, so I'll be replacing them shortly. While there I figured I'd take the time to add front sway bar disconnects and the ZJ tie rod upgrade. Any recommendations on other things to address while I'm in there? My TJ is at 90k and largely untouched.

While I'm here, it seems the Rancho RS5000x and Bilsteins are still king?
 
I'd check your track bar and control arm bushings and make sure they are still sturdy and not blown out, same with the rear sway links since you are replacing the front. You probably aren't really using them, but a quick eyeball at the jounces to make sure they are still there and not rotted in half.

Doesn't hurt to torque check everything while your down there.
