You could buy all those pieces yourself from Allstar and save  at least half?

Ok, so mine is not level, I haven't gotten it on the lift to measure it but it's definately out 1/2" or more. So how does a person level it ?

Seems pretty straight forward, I assume I would have to make shims?

One thing that never gets mentioned... If you file the bolt hole to correct the drag link side to side you've created a point of motion, it will find a way to loosen & move... So to fix it when you are assembling the idler put a semi-large flat washer on before the nut & when you have the drag link level & things are tight put a few tack weld on the washer to the K frame...

Seems pretty straight forward, I assume I would have to make shims?

No, standard alignment shims work just fine...
