Default the project begins next week - questions

So i've got a 96 blazer 4 door. It's the 2wd version, but i'm going to lift it some regardless. IMO it sits to low for me.

So i'm dropping this two inch body kit onto it. Unless it's posted that i should avoid that kit.

so my question is this:
is there anything else i need to get in addition to the 2" body lift kit?

After I save up for it I will be getting Ranchero 5000s. i think i read that i only have shocks in the back is that right? so what do i need to replace up front?

and i will be dropping some 31" rubber onto the stock rims.

you have shocks all around all cars have 4 shocks
the fronts are inside the coil springs accesses through a hole in the lower control arm

you really only need to replace the shocks if they are worn, a body lift doesnt effect the suspension
