When you say ball joints, do you mean the Whiteline RCA kit?

you can do the rear bumpsteer as well, cause you need alignment after doing it.
might as well knock it out and save from another alignment.

off topic but you have some horrible grammar. "why" when you mean while.

Might sound stupid but brake lines and a brake service might not be a bad idea, if you haven't already done so. I know you don't have to remove them to do coil overs, but it should save you time/labor in the long run. The bill looks like it's already getting up there though quality suspension isn't cheap.
