Default about to install springs--what else am i missing

i'm currently riding a 2.5 TF BB with pucks and OME shocks. with the help of another member, i'm gonna swap out the pucks for OME HD springs and some adjustable LCAs.

what am i missing?
--i'm going to use the stock spring isolators
--the bump stop and brake line extensions from the BB kit
--Keep the exisitng rear trackbar & relocation bracket

at what point to i need to get new track bars? i assume if i have the relacation bracket in the read, i should upgrade the front first?

Thanks to dave at northridge for the springs & shocks--
Steve

Default Front track bar maybe.

I added a teraflex 2.5" coil lift to mine about a month ago and so far I am thinking I am going to get a adjustable front track bar as my front axle is quite shifted and I am finding some bump steer and it doesn't seem to track great on the highway and when doing sharp turns at speed the traction control thingy does flash. Don't get me wrong it drives fine I am just trying to get as close back to stock as possible. My rear axle however with the relocation bracket for the track bar centered the rear axle nicely. Drive after install and make your own dicision.
