What parts should I replace for a 3" inch suspension lift?

Hello,

I have been planning on a 3" suspension lift for my '99 2 wheel drive 4.0. I recently found out my front wheel bearings are bad and an upper control arm so i figure now is a better time than ever to do the lift.

I am going to get 3" front spindles and also rear leafs. Since I need to replace the upper control arms, is there anything else that would be worth replacing during the process? I've never done this before but am planning on doing it myself anyway.

Appreciate any help

When you get the spindles, is in general rule of thumb to replace all of the suspension components? I figure that all of them would fit into the new spindles, which are basically knuckles, right?

They fit, no problem. I just needed to replace the control arms and figured why not replace other parts in the process. I had been wanting to do a lift for a while. Any recommendations on upper control arms that are heavy duty and can help correct negative camber? I have negative camber now, because I installed the 3" lift spindles.
