Shouldn't need extended brake cables or steering stops...I didn't use them when I spindle lifted with no problems.

Something tells me that your quest to save some money is going to COST you money in the end! On a spindle lift, a notch cut near the ball joint serves as your steering stop. (2" from the outside of the ball joint at the rear of the control arm.

Oh and as far as bolts go, the only thing you will need are new cotter pins if replacements were not supplied.

I use a ball joint press to pop the ball joints and tie rods. Rented it from autozone for $10 or so.
