Suspension rebuild

I'm planning a kingpin/suspension rebuild (since the Midget wouldn't
pass inspection today without it), and am wondering if any listers can
come up with any "while-I'm-at-its" that I haven't thought of.  I
already have the major suspension kit and plan to also replace the
springs, rack boots, and tie rod ends.  Is there anything else I should
do while I have it all apart?

If anyone else has done this work already, do you have any tips/tricks
to help me along?  Any specific problems I might run into, that I should
be ready for?

One more thing - Since I expect the car to be on jack stands for several
days (I don't have much free time to work on it right now), where should
I place the jack stands to best support the car, yet ensure the
suspension is easily accessible?

TIA

Don't assume that because you have found one problem, you have found the
ONLY problem.
