Hi Lew, and welcome to the forum. If you haven't already pick up some PB Blaster and start spraying every bolt/nut you need to remove. With an '01 and a 4.5" lift you are going to need at the very least a TC drop, though you would be better off with a SYE.
If your kit came with full leaf packs take caution when removing the old leafs. The weld nuts like to break free in the unibody, and the bolts like to rust themselves into the bushing sleeves. With an '01 your rust shouldn't be near as bad as my '92 was.

Like sthon said make sure to spray down all the nuts and bolts really well with PB Blaster ant least one or two days before you start working on her.
