You'll also need a longer track bar, icon makes a nice one. And shocks. The budget shock around the forums is the Bilstein. I run the King shocks and am very happy with them.

Is the longer track bar needed right of the bat? Or can that wait? What will it do if not added

Buy it and do it the first time.

Without an adjustable trac bar your axle will be out if allignment with the rear and will hang more to one side.

Your axle will be shifted off center about an 1" inch and a half to the left. It can cause the right tire to rub on the radius arm depending on your wheel tire set up. Also it will aling better with the track bar.

we have ran all off our trucks with leveling kits and no track bar. It will be fine. You may only notice a slight rub when at full crank.

It's best to get the track bar with the change in ride height so you can keep the geometry correct.

If you change the stock track bar to an adjustable one, do you need to do alignment again? Anything special needed or extra stuff to order?

Technically yes you should have it aligned after setting your adjustable trac bar. I always do for peace of mind.
