ok all you are gonnna need in addition is.
(4) 1.5"over stock shackles preferably with a cross bar (your old ones will be fubar)
4 each 4deg shims (steel) they will come with bolts
4 extended brake lines
I bought new bushing's for the truck they were cheep and it was a good time to change out the 37 year old ones.
also I if your running a saginaw power steering you will need a drop pitman arm.(not sure about the original steering)
4 jack stands, a floor jack, and a BFH a grinder with a cutting blade and a regular wheel, for the u bolts that don't play nice start a few days ahead spraying them with pb blaster (air tools would save time)
12pack (your Choice) and a buddy.
you may want to check your shackle plates mine were rust pitted pretty bad so I made some new ones
or just clean them up with the grinder and paint them
start to finish will take about 6 hours including beer breaks and don't be suprized if you end up with 6" of lift. study up on caster angle and put them in right the front third member will be coming down so the shim goes in front (ask me how I know)
I did not upgrade the shocks. the guy at hell creek said the nitro filled were to stiff for short wheel base trucks the kit comes with good shocks (rancho) I am pretty sure
