Changing upper engine mount, what else?

Time to Replace my leaking upper engine mount.on the passenger side.Anything else I should do at the same time?
I am gOing to have my skid plate off, so it's a good the to do anything else. Recently done
Oil/filter change
Transmission oil change
Radiator flush

How many lower engine mounts are there and should they be changed too?
Thanks

Might check your lower motor mount. I noticed while changing my upper that my lower was all cracked when you pushed on the engine with your hands. It's much cheaper and easier to replace versus the upper mount which is a plus . The lower mount is the one directly under the upper mount and it's safe to assume it is shot if your upper one needed replacing.
