Tools, check. Parts, I'll have to check. Knowledge, check!
The chainline on my Spitty with 142 hubs and a SRAM 11 spd drivetrain isn't so bad really. It's on my boost hardtail with Shimano XT and that monster cassette that it's painful to even look at.
Re: wheel stiffness — I haven't had any issues with my current wheels — Nox Farlow rims laced to a DT350. I also don't know if I'd notice any incremental increase on a bike with over 5" of travel.
