what type of truck is it for? do you plan to offroad with it, or just for looks? if it is just for looks, i would just get a body lift, and spend 300.00 to get something that isnt going to fail, rather than try to make your own stuff. however, if you want a suspension lift, then you will need a track bar bracket and longer sway bar links, or drop down brackets for it as well. and if you have a 2 piece driveshaft, then you will need a carrier bearing drop bracket also. i may have forgotten something, so maybe someone will chime in too.
