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.

Nope, if he installs that he needs to get a drop pitman arm too. otherwise his steering geometry would be seriously out of wack. On 3" of lift you honestly shouldn't need anything other than the lift kit. go any higher; extended brake lines and other odds and ends become a must.

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!
