Are you getting a complete kit, or pieceing one together?

In addition to the front springs, you'll need a drop-pitman arm to correct your steering geometry after lifted. You'll need a 2-3" drop pitman arm.

You'll also need drop radius arm brackets, or extended radius arms.

You may or may not need brake lines. I had a 6" kit on my 93 without using extended brake lines, but have since switched to SS lines.
