8" springs and brackets

Is it possible to swap in 8" coils with the brackets or do I need a pitman arm and various other components? Obviously I would need lift shocks but what I am looking at if I just bought the coils and brackets?

Thanks guys.

lol you would need to do something with your radius arms (drop them or lengthen them), dropped pitman arm, longer brake lines, longer shocks, and if ttb drop pivot brackets in the middle. and with 8" you will have to watch your front driveshaft....it may want to slide all the way out if you flex any

Thanks cutts. I was thinking the same thing too. I'm just going to get a 6" lift and call it a day. Probably one of those ones off ebay. Plus 8" of lift is too extreme for ttb anyways.
