Lifting questions...would like some help

I've had my 1990 Bronco II for several years now and have been taking it on several trails with it simply stock. However, I really don't like the look of those small 27" tires on it and would like much better suspension. I've been saving for a while now and figured out exactly what I'd like to do to it, but am not really sure how many smaller details are involved. Firstly, I'd like to install a 3" body lift, followed by a 3" suspension lift, drive stabilizer, and 33" tires. Unfortunately this is the first time I've ventured into this area of work on cars. I've got a fair amount of experience working on engines but lifting is entirely new to me. Since the body lift will be first, can someone please tell me what is required other than simply lifting the body off the frame, because i realize it is not that easy. I've seen information saying the brakelines, fuel lines, radiator, steering column, and many other parts need to be extended/moved due to the body lift. Would appreciate some help and insight on what needs to be done pertaining to the body lift, as well as the best way to go about doing it.

The body lift will be a James Duff 3" if anyone has personal experience with this brand.

Thanks for the help-
Chris
