Final Lift Config. Opinions Please???

Okay guys, looking for the best bolt on and go system I can afford this is what I've come up with, let me know if this should take care of everything.

Rear suspension kit ON SALE $559
Rear 56" long travel springs
5100 Bilstein shocks (I will be opting out for the 5150s)
1.5" longer greasable shackles
Extended rear brake line
Rear Perch kit or flip kit
Heavy Duty spring hangers

Front Long Travel Springs(4" lift) ON SALE $199
All Pro Front Shock Hoops $89
Bilstein 5150s 2 shocks $178

All Pro Hy-Steer $449 = $19 IFS Box mounting brackets
- I already have a box off of my 86' parts Runner

That in my mind takes care of most everything I need for the suspension and steering to be upgraded. Please please let me know what you guys think of this set-up, I really need the input b/c I've never delt with a system like this and it's a bit intimidating. ALL suggestions welcome.

if you have that kind of cash, go for it by all means. personally, i would have gone a cheaper route:

63" chevy rears
bilsteins all around
stock rears up front w/a drop hanger
ford shock towers
hysteer

i assume you can weld?

I agree, if you have the cash, go for it, sounds awsome.

If you get it, let me know, i am interested in getting the All-Pro front and rear leafs and 5150's front and rear. Mine are WAY too stiff.

Also, when it says they have 19" of articulation? what exactly does that mean? is that saying it can go on a 19" rock? or can it go 19" each way? I'm confused.

from compression to droop, the spring will move 19" where it is attached to the axle, so 9.5" each way.

19" rock? lol
