Hows it going? long time since I've seen you on.
Its going good, work has been keeping me busy. I've been lurking just haven't posted in a while. Trying to find some part time work to feed the jeep habit. Want to start working on my Grand, just lack of funding to do anything on it right now.

1.25x .281 wall DOM (can't remember exact feet)
4 3/4 or 7/8 hiems with a 5/8 bore
4 jam nuts
8 misalignment spacers
2 5/8x4 grade 8 bolts
1 5/8 x 6 grade 8 bolt

i think that was it ha ha

but the track bar will need to be raised so at least a axle side new mount and/or a new trac bar

this setup is also not legal to run on the hwy or will pass inspectons

don't copy their kits, they add to much unneeded crap to it just to get you to spend more money with them, that setup on mine cost me under 200 to do.
