Probably Mother's Aluminum and Mag polish since they're most likely aluminum. For the center caps, really fine steel wool and water.

A simple 5" lift, Rough country makes a well priced kit just no coil spring spacers or extra blocks for the rear, so new coil springs and a add a leaf for the rear. Good shocks are a must so Bilsteins 5100's are what I would go with.

There are smaller kits out there but I just went with the 5" because most that do 3" or level kit just end up going to a 5" later on lol. She don't run? Fuel pump been there done that way too many times, hope you did not get and Airtex pump they are junk pumps.

Nice, good on ya for ditching the plastic . My better half doesnt want me to take the running bars off, even though she can get in just fine without them...
