So you are using 8" leaf packs front and rear?.. If not, I don't recommend more than a 4" block in the rear. And DO NOT use blocks in the front. Off the top of my head you will need:
-To extend both drive shafts
-Longer front brake lines
-Longer diff tube vents
-Raised steering arm
-Longer shocks to match the lift
-Swaybar lowering blocks
On a side note: Once you install the lift, don't pull yourself up into the vehicle via the steering wheel... tends to mess up tilt steering columns.
