Question Coil Spring Question

I just bought some 4 inch lift coils, which was part of an existing lift kit, for a very cheap price and I am going to put them on soon but I was wondering what else do I have to get done so that it will be a successful lift. I know I will nead to lift the rear and I was going to just use lift blocks for that and get new shocks as well. Also extend the brake lines too. But for the front... I am a little confused. I know I will prob need some different types of brackets to compensate for the lift but Im not sure which ones. What exactly will I need? And where could I buy it. Thanks. Also any tips are appreciated.

For the front you will need the ttb center mount brackets and the radius arm brackets, maybe new camber bushings. The stock setup is only good for about 2" of lift. You can get the brackets from pretty much any of the suspension manufacturers, or pull yours off and take them to a machine shop, have them make you new ones, or extend the stock ones.
