As long as they're not worn out you should be able to wait or unless you do a major clevis lift then you'll get srping contact.

Check your upper B.J.'s, if they show any signs of wear go for the Jeepin Al's A-Arms with the greesable B.J.. You'll also be able to get better alignment specs with them installed after you lift.

Simple answer, If they are not bad you will NOT need to replce becasue of contact IF you only install the lift itself and no addintionals like a clevis lift and strut plate.

I don't think so. Eventually, it may be necessary to get proper alignment but, I didn't use any clevis or strut spacers, using OEM UCAs and I don't have any problems. but, I only have a couple hundred miles on it, so I may not be the best one to tell you.

Well congrats on the new lift. Make sure you put it to good use and take lots of pics so the rest of us can drool.
