Default Getting ready to intstall a lift

hey guys, im buying a used lift soon. It comes with shocks, coils, aal's, trackbar and mount, brake lines, and uca's and lca's. Im gonna make 1" transfer case drop spacers and buy a zj pitman arm. How well should this set me up to be dependable and tough off road? Is there anything that Im forgetting?

Also, will i be able to connect the sway bar with the stock hook ups until i can make my disco's?

other than using penetrating oil on all the nuts and bolts, what else should i be aware of when i start wrenching?

thanks in advance
