I did my lift at 330,000 and ended up replacing all of that plus the upper control arms and the CV axles. Better to be ready for the worst (even if you only buy parts as you need them) versus taking it apart and not having money to buy extra stuff.

I bought the Sonoran Steel kit with 5100's up front and Tokico's LC's in the back and it has done me well.
