I'm starting to put together a kit to do a 2" lift - here's the plan so far:

Front: Dobinsons GS59-221 strut, C59-302 spring
Rear: Dobinsons GS59-705 shock, C59-325 (or -505) spring

Are there any other suspension wear components I should look at replacing at the same time? End links/ rear lca? The car has 101k miles, 2006. Not looking to do a complete overhaul, just some other small pieces as preventative maintenance and to slightly improve ride. The car is primarily a daily driver with weekend trail use.
 
I suggest getting new strut mounts for the front, just because. Are you doing the UCA's too? You will need an alignment so any steering components that are questionable should probably be replaced to maximize the value of the alignment.
 
Definitely planning on strut mounts. Wasn't planning on UCAs as I'm not lifting more than 2" and won't be running 285s.
 
When I did my front & rear suspension, I purchased/installed the following. If I had to do it all over again, I would do it the same way.
Front (in addition to coilovers including new top hats)
1. Inner and outer tie rod ends
2. JBA UCA (I'm only lifted 2 in in front and they made a HUGE difference in alignment; recommended)
3. Sway bar links (currently not installed; running no SB)
4. OEM LCA
5. Marlin Crawler LCA Frame Brace Kit

Rear
1. Springs
2. Struts
3. Longer sway bar links from 2nd gen (or 3rd... I can't remember)
4. Lower links since oem link was bent
5. SS brake lines
