Rear springs

Doubt they sent you the preferred pitman arm - FA600

Save yourself some $$ and get the leaf springs from a mid '90s era F150, Provides 3-4" of lift with a comfortable ride (maintains spring under config)

For the sway bars links, extend the one's you have front and back, take it to any welding shop and have them add 3-4" - Never liked the swaybar drop kits.

ohh. and another thing i was settin around and got my hands on some rectangle 5 1/2in off road lights and here is my idea. i was going to go to home depot and get a 48in piece of 1"x1" square tubing and drilling 6 or so holes in it mounting the lights to it then getting some end caps and sealing them up and running the wires down the driver side and drilling a hole through the top and sealing it off. and mouthing the tubing on some 2" tall brackets and from there i will figure out how to mount it to the top and sealing it off. anyone got some options or opinions.
