most kits come with the TCL and the brake line relocation brackets you dont REALLY NEED the new drive shaft if you have a 2 door or you really articulate alot in the rear.

After 4 inches of lift, its always recomended that you buy an SYE kit and a new driveshaft. My 4.5" lift came with new stainless steel brake lines and a TC drop. I dont have any vibrations, however my rear output shaft bearing is being worn and is starting to make some noise.
P.S. Dont get AAL!!!!! go with the FULL PACKS!

I dont see the need to a new driveshaft unless your intalling a SYE (slip yoke eliminator).
I wouldnt worry about it, as long as you drop the t-case.
