Default Parts?

I'm about to order Trailmaster DL223(??? on this website it states the lift is 2' but the part number should be 1.5.
), Rancho RS5757 , and Rancho RS5315 for my 05 Dakota. Is there other parts that I should replace when installing these?

How many miles on the truck? There's a decent chance your front sway bar end links will snap when you try to loosen them so you may want to make sure the local dealer has some in stock just in case. Happened to me the first time I had the front end apart.

Who keeps their sway bar on any more!?! Rip that thing off and have a true IFS truck! jkjk. Altair is right, youll want new ones right away. And I suggest new strut mounts.
