First thing I noticed is that there is no new track bar with it . You will probably want one to center your front axle after lift. The next thing that is conspicuous is there are no new shocks with it either, or front brake lines. Those things will have to be added. Also add a leaves work, for awhile. But as soon as you start flexing them they loose their temper and it will sag and you will need to replace them or get a full spring pack.
