More SOA Q's before I start my build over christmas break

SOA Parts I am picking up on Saturday:
Front & Rear 62 Axles with spring perches already welded on top.
Both have ARB lockers and 4.11’s.
Front Axle is not CnT. ARB compressor, harness, and switches come with the package.
Rear axle has a GM disk conversion.
Comes with All-Pro Hy-Steer.
Some fancy rear driveshaft with an extra U-Joint.
An extra pair of rear 60 springs with greasable pins which I will use the longer ones for AAL’s.
Bobby Long Inner Birfs (regular outers.)
A spare set of custom spring perches which I can use if I need to redo any of the existing ones.
I already have 35's waiting to go on.

Things I need:
Replace ARB O-Rings in Diffs when regearing to 4.88’s
CnT front axle
AAL’s to front
Front Shock Hoops for longer shocks
Redo Hy-Steer tie-Rod lengths?
Marlin C Inner Axle Seals
Traction Bar


Questions:
  • Do I need to notch my trany x-member? I have heard that 62’s don’t need to do this.
  • What’s the best Trac Bar parts kit that I can buy and weld into the rear?
  • Does anyone run a front Trac bar and why?
  • The leafs from this guy may be kinked, can I still use them for AAL’s or will this cause a potential danger or failure in the future?
  • What are the cheapest / easiest to install shock hoops?
  • What length are SOA brake lines or are they all custom? I’d like to have them ready when I do the install.
  • Any other obvious considerations that I have missed?
