Default What work to do before alignment/new tires?

I'm about to buy new tires and get a complete alignment done. What is everything I should replace that would ruin the alignment I just got if I were to do it later?

I've already replaced control arms, ball joints, and sway bar links?

I'm going to buy tie rods (inner/outter) and sway bar bushings.

What about the idler arm and pitman arm?

Anything else you can think of?

That's pretty much it.

Yep that is it. I did my truck last year and it felt new again.

If it still won't align your frame is screwed up that'd be the only reason why it wouldn't align after all that being replaced.
