well...
Driveshafts lengthened
New brake lines (which should come with any good kit)
Wheel and Steering alignment
Longer radius are a must at 6"
Kit should come with a wedge for the back axle to realign it's pinion angle.
Personally, at 6" lift I would highly recommend the superrunner steering assembly. It corrects all the steering problems that are inherent to TTB axles and made worse by lifts.

maybe upgrade your brakes if you're gonna put big meats on it. like cross drilled rotors, disc brake conversion in the back.
If you haven't changed your gears for bigger tires, should do that too.

35's, 4.56 gears, LS in front and a locker out back! Well thats what I'd do after a 6" lift. Then go put it through its paces way off the beaten path. 
Most 4" and 6" suspension lifts require nothing but the stock rear spring angle blocks and extended brake lines front and rear. Best to check with the manufacturer of the lift you are purchasing to be 100% certain. Driveshafts are long enough. Front end will need a good alignment and possibly new caster/camber shims. Depending upon which lift you are looking at, certain manufacturers address alignment issues with the lift kit components.

Is this the site your wondering about?

There rear shakle kit is cool but it's a little pricey for me, I could just build my own mounts like theres for a fraction of the price.
Good luck bro.

I recently installed a 6" Skyjacker Class II suspension lift and 35" tires on my 84 Bronco. I have not had to extend the driveshafts or brake lines, but plan to in the near future just to be on the safe side. I strongly recommend getting the tubular, extended radius arms to make alignment much easier than with the factory arms and dropdown brackets. I opted for new lifted rear springs, but have a driveline shop check your pinion angle on the rearend to see if you need any shims and how many degrees. I just had to add a 1" block to get mine correct. Then get some steps so you and your passengers can climb in!!!
