95 4X4 Ball joint spacer question

I have a 95 4X4 pickup that I put a trailmaster 4" lift on many years ago. I'm in the process of installing new upper and lower control arms and ball joints etc. So back in 98 when the lift was put on the shop used the torsion bars to "add some height" and the ball joint spacer kits were just coming on the market hence using the torsion bars for lift. I have some sway a way bars on order and I'm wondering if it's worth it to add the ball joint spacers as well while it's all apart and to not put so much load on the bars? Oh and if I add the spacer where are they in stock, it seems most places are all on backorder.

Thoughts?

Yeah, I should've ordered the 4crawler kit a few weeks a go when I saw them and they were listed as "low stock". At this point I'm waiting on the torsion bars, a short throw shifter from Marlin and an input shaft. I ordered the longer input shaft based on VIN and turns out I actually have the shorter one so have to wait on that now.
