Question on parts required when doing plugs

So I’m going to attempt changing the plugs since the dealer wants $700 including parts.
My question is what else should I change while I’m in there? She’s a 2004 with 15k, it’s only because of time, and the book states the plugs should be done.
Thanks

I would just do the plugs. Go with OEM plugs only.

Remove the mufflers and it's a lot simpler.

I did spark plugs and tubes but I have 98K miles... Two of the banks from each side were leaking on mine.

I ordered my spark plug tubes from pelican and the plug remover off amazon.

Your 04 doesn't have spark plug tubes so that is no worry. Just inspect the coils while you have them out. Check for split plastic or rust poking out near the top and replace any bad ones.
