When swapping for PS, what else should/could I change

[ChrisF]

Going to swap manual to power steering next weekend, and wanted to see everyone's thoughts on what else can be replaced in the process of removal/installation?
My questions is since I've already got some of the steering apart, is there anything else that can be changed at the time?

I appreciate any feedback.
Thanks!!

Since you will be removing the steering box, it is a good time to check the crossmember for stress cracks. When you add the new box it would be good to add a steering box brace. If you plan to add high lift springs, aftermarket spring shackle hangers are good, since the stock ones are quite prone to breaking at the rivet clearance hole. Check the steering rod for slop at the bell coupler. A power steering fliter is also an option.
