I think that you are getting ripped! That is because I am a penny pinching little deal searching bargain hunter.
Lug nuts....Buy some locking lug nuts...$8 if you really want them
Mount and balance tires. You can get shops to do it for $50. Look hard.
Alignment....$50...again, look hard
Lift kit...get an AAL, some shackles, and new UCA's (not Calmini) and save money. Calmini shocks blow donkey dong. At least that is what I heard. Stick with stock T-bars until the are shot.
Install the lift yourself -$375 is what you are saving.
Shipping charges actually sounds right
Lubes towels, and misc hardware-Hardware comes in the kit. Towels....You do not need towels really. Lubes-$6 at your local auto store
As far as tires, shop around again. Sometimes you can get a 4 for the price of 3 deal, and sometimes you can get a $100 gift card too. Look all over the internet and have someone price match it. They will do it if they can. They can.
I would stick with the stock rims-personal choice
Body lift...$65
