Well as long as you have a 2wd youll be good to go. The only thing youll require after is an alignment. If you order on Friday, prob 2-4 business days if hes got the product on hand.

You don't 'need' but you might want some Sphoon (sp) Trac Bar and Control Arms to recenter your rear diff.

When you drop it, you'll push it to one side (joys of a trac bar) and pull the axle towards the front of the wheel well.

The adjustable trac bar will allow you to center the axle left right.
The control arms / link arms whatever you want to call them will allow you to recenter the axle & dial in your pinion angle.

Many people run just the drop kit w/o issue. The above are for 'perfectionists'

Glad you got it ordered. You will like it! I just did my 2/4 drop this past weekend, along with the Spohn adjustable panhard rod. My rearend was out of alignment by 3/8" and the adjustable rod dialed it back into place perfectly. I would not have done the job w/out the adjustable panhard rod. And BTW, you won't be needing the side steps anymore....

I agree with the previous post that you won't need those step bars anymore. I removed mine added the SRT-10 rims and now my truck is screaming
for the drop lol

I agree with this. At work there is someone with a 2/4 lowered single cab express and they left the chrome steps on it and it looks rediculous. It just totally kills the look of the lowered truck.
