I just got my shocks rebuilt and will replace the current ones. It has some of the famous front end clunking. Drives straight and true.
What are some other things that I should replace while replacing the shocks (want to replace necessary parts and get rid of the clunking)
Thanks for the help

Just check your upper control arms and lower control arms for play, ball joints, etc. If you've never had a problem with your iwe's, then you're probably good to go. Get the specs for the shock bolts, ex: 406 ft/lbs bottom front bolt, etc.

Good time to replace coils (Geisers or Icon), rear leaf springs and add rear shock guards.
