I couldn't have said it any better.

Do it in stages and then everything will work. When someone goes off and buys an array of parts and then hopes they will fit, they generally run into problems. When I did my truck, we lowered it and then measured the truck to obtain the proper fitment for "my" truck. Each truck even with the same parts can measure differently.

Take your time, and do it right the first time.
