You need shocks front and rear

Your factory steering stabilizer will work( not sure if this is what your asking)

You can install it yourself. Use the write-ups on here for a 3in lift.( I suggest not installing the cam bolts though, you'd be better off getting adj front lowers and rear upper control arms. You have a 4 dr so you really won't need rear uppers until you change out the rear driveshaft for a double carden one. ) The front lower CA's would allow for castor adj, but you could always drive it and see how the handling is for you and whether or not you can deal with the handling before ordering some. I drove mine almost a year with 4in of lift and no adj control arms.
