Yep I know I am new at this but I didn't it was all about numbers. I didn't think it would be this difficult. I figured a lift kit would have everything you need, but some come with shocks or no shocks or track bar adjustment bracket or not.

Do your research and ask questions. I have gotten a lot of my questions answered on here.

There are two sticky threads right at the top of this modified area that you might want to read. Learning what the different components do, and at what heights you might want them, may be better than just throwing money at it. And, those threads should give you about a dozen more questions to ask.

Yes, do some researching. It doesn't hurt to ask a question, that's what these forums are all about. But, the majority of all these types of questions have been answered dozens (or even hundreds) of times on just this forum alone.

Backspacing is simply the distance from the wheel mounting surface to the back side of the wheel. You really need to take the wheel off the vehicle to measure this. A fairly common backspace that seems to work well is around 4.5".
