youll be fine with stock lcas. im running 5 in. with stock lcas and never had a problem. especially if your keepin it on the road. just get longer shocks or you could even weld a washer and bolt to the top of your shocks to extend them if you dont really plan on wheeling it. but youll be just fine with stock lcas

Well you do need the right tools and parts ahead of time. It's not too bad to fix, but if you're that scared about doing it don't hesitate on taking it in. Better safe than sorry

You should be fine with the fronts as long as you aren't changing the shocks yet because you need to be careful you don't break the shock mounting bolts too cause then you need to fix those too lol
