if you get a good kit it should give you everything you need to do it. you may need to get longer brake lines because i don't think anyone gives those in kits.

i know someone who added a 6 or 8 inch lift in a dodge and didnt change a dang thing, the reson im asking cause i can get the leafs from either an auto wrecker for cheap or get em made for cheap but i mean more about my pit man arm and that kinda stuff, brake lines yes ill have to get larger and ill need shocks i guess but its alot cheaper for me to buy springs from these places and shocks and lines then it is to buy a kit online so far

Track bar and longer break lines, your better off getting a good brand name, because the main leaf with the eyes in it will be longer, a four inch on these trucks with bushwacker cut outs, you can run 40's.
