Default Front axle build help?

So I moved up to 37's and figured it's time to beef up my front axle. My ball joints have a little play so I'm looking at the Alloy USA ball joints and axle bearings. Doing a Tera flex sleeve and gusset kit and swapping out u joints just because. Wish I could afford to regear and upgrade axles but as for right now they are not in the budget. Is there anything I'm missing or suggestions from experienced builders?
Any and all input is appreciated!

Sleeves, C-gussets, lower control arm skids, track bar mount, & ball joints should do it minus axle shafts.

I just went to 37's. When I did I had the guys at Rebel Off Road install an Artec front truss, lower control arm skids, and c-gussets. I also had them install Synergy ball joints and a Rock Krawler front track bar bracket with the lift. I'm hoping that does the trick.

Sounds like it! Can't do the track bar stuff right now just being cautious with the axle for now.
