Thanks a lot, my worries are alignment problems, axle wobbles, things like that. I feel i can put the lift on but what else goes in it?

Don't forget to replace your steering stabilizer. Don't get the add a leaf, they just sag really fast. Start spraying all your bolts with PB blaster right away and then every other day until you are ready to start.
