You should be alright with the trac bar relocation bracket with the 3" lift, anymore lift and you should go with an adjustable trac bar. The drop kit for swaybar is to eliminate the need for aftermarket swaybar end links.

my theory always was, if it comes off..why not replace it?

I mean if you have the shocks off, why not change the bushings? If you are going to do it.. do it right the first time ! it will save you lots of money down the road!
