Get it aligned as soon as you get the work done.

Do the upper control arms come with ball joints and bushings?

 

[SFL TAHOE]

Yes thank you for reminding me for the alignment.
Also I am ordering the upper control arm complete assembly for both side that will come with the bushing and ball joints.

I can see the upper arms description but the lower arms did not match, so I asked. Make sure you grease everything thoroughly when put together. Keep it all clean as you reassemble. Make sure you get a printout of the before and after readings of the alignment and post those numbers here so we can see and advise. Some shops are just "set the toe and let it go" and I would like to see what was done as far as adjustments go.

Very good point

You have inner and outer bearings on your list, but I believe you can just buy the entire wheel bearing assembly which comes with a new speed sensor. I think that would be the way I'd go.

You'll also need to rent or borrow a pitman arm puller from your local auto parts store. An impact will come in very handy, as will a big enough wrench or impact socket to go on the nut that holds the pitman arm to the steering box.

I've got a workbench full of these parts waiting to go on mine. Plus bilstein shocks and springs.

And my new stereo and speakers will be here today. Should be a fun weekend.
