In addition to the few things you listed....

You're going to need longer (and adjustable) control arms.

Limiting straps well keep your short coils from falling out/staying in place when you flex it out.

Longer/taller bumpstops front and rear.

New shocks on all 4 corners.

Steel shims in the back to correct your pinion angle.

Longer sway bar links.

Track-bar and drag link that are not only long enough, but also strong enough to handle increased angles.

you would be much better off by just trimming your fenders a miniscule amount for the 32's

or you can add

lca's
uca's
adjustable trackbar
brake hoses
new shocks
sye
cv driveshaft
leaf spring shims
bumpstops

and you may still have to trim a tad
