2K suspension upgrade/replace

2000 Max SE @ 145K.

Max needs some suspension help. Original OEM suspension components.

I know I need to replace both tie-rod ends, thinking shocks/struts as well.

Questions:

Beyond an alignment when I get done, what else should I replace when I take this thing apart? Brakes and new CV's done recently. I am not looking to race this thing, or lower it. Just good DD performance without the harsh ride and the squeeks.

I'm concerned about any bushings, brackets, mounts, etc that should be replaced when I do this endeavour.

I live in the south, so salt/rust isn't a problem.

Recommendations are great, I'll be doing the work myself with all the appropriate tools.

I would just say look and see what other bushings are worn out and do all those...
