Longer shocks and brakelines, swaybar disconnects, adjusted bumpstops and steering stops, possibly an SYE and DC/CV driveshaft. Others will be chiming in...

bumpstops stop the axle from going up into the body...the square plastic things.. people extend them when the lift and run bigger tires so the tires dont rip off the fenders,..

And unless you drop the trac bar mount at the frame to match the drop pitman arm, you'll get bump steer. Not trying to flame you, but spend some time searching what other's have done for lifts before you spend hard earned cash on something you won't like. Measure once, cut twice I always say. I never do it, but I always say it.
