Front Shock Recommendation

Noted. So the standard front sway bar would suffice? Would save me a bit a of $$$ rather than going with the wide tire clearance option.
yeah, as long as your calipers are at the rear you should be fine.

sometimes you'll get a tiny bit of contact at full lock on the nub of the lower balljoint. depends on the mfgr. but it's not enough to worry about tbh.
