Nice buy!
The shocks may be worn out by now - but you can deal with that later if needed.
A few small parts missing but easy to get.

Upper shock bushings/insulators (fit over stud end of shock. Two per shock), eight grade 8 washers to go under u-bolt nuts, if you have front sway bar there are drop down brackets for the sway bar mounts (like 2" x 4" hollow rectangular blocks), you will need/want a "drop pitman arm" too. I think you can reuse the bottom spring seats/retainers unless new springs are different diameter


You may be able to use the stock brake lines for front (by bending frame bracket down). You need to check rear flexible (frame to axle) brake line. Will probably need to get a longer one.

With a 4 inch lift, the dropped pitman arm is not optional if you want good steering.
