DA here and I think its worth it just to center the wheels up because they are almost half an inch out from the factory.

Well for me it took a Random Tech torque arm to get rid of the axle hop; after shocks, lca's and rl brackets.

If your not lowered and never intend to lower - go with non adjustable LCAs. Rod ends are rough. You really don't need relocation brackets at stock ride height. I agree with the shocks, T/A, and T/A relocate kit too.
