Getting my shopping list around, a few ??'s

So my plan is as follows

FT 3" economy lift
Either the fs-5100 or skyjacker hydro shocks
33x10.50x15 tires (prolly BFG AT's)
15x8 black Cragar soft 8's
Possibly a 1"BL depending on the net lift

And when I get the next part of my enlistment bonus Rampage Recovery Bumpers front and rear

Now my question has to do with Bar Pin Eliminators, now what exactly are they and will I need them with this set up?

Bar pin eliminators do just what the name implies, they eliminate the stock shock bar pin mount. They provide preload on the bushing and give the bushing a shoulder to mount against. It helps keep the shock from walking off the bushing. They can be installed on the front bottom and the rear top. In my opinion, they are a worthwhile expense.

Sounds to me that I might as well add them to the list as well

If you go higher than 4-4.5", I would recommend a SYE and CV driveshaft, new brakelines, and check you pitman arm to see if a longer one is needed.
