Seems like everyone is overcomplicating this whole lift thing. I also don’t understand why all the parts.
I'd like to know what is complicated about my lift?

I did the springs just like you, only changed my stock little coil pad with a urethane one. It gives an extra inch of lift as well. My stock pads were completely demolished.

A previous owner had replaced the stock shocks with some rancho adjustables that were nearly rusted through, they still ran fine but why not take care of them while I'm at it.

Sway bar bushings are cheap $10/pair plus greasable.

The bump stop I did because everyone else was doing it And it's not like it was difficult 2 bolts and 5 minutes.

Start to finish I did my rear in under 2 hours.

The front took about 15 minutes to crank the torsions, but I plan to flip the ball joints, and replace the tie rods, and front shocks.

Torsion Bars are the only thing I think would be unnecessary to replace since they've got to make the ride HARSH. Other than that, why not add in heavy duty components (like tie rods) it's certainly not going to hurt anything.

I don't have near the experience as you Todd, so I've got to build everything tough. You could be 3" lower than me, and I'd still be the one scraping and rubbing. I need to give me an extra "piece of mind" while I learn how to drive

I'm by no means an expert in the off road world, I'm a complete novice, everything I'm choosing to do has been based on feedback and research found on this site. If at anytime I'm doing something wrong or unnecessary PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME!! I'd love to put the money elsewhere.

I love these place, of course I hate it too I've had my vehicle for 6 weeks and it's already cost me over $5,000 in extras... OUCH!!
