Default Putting a 7 inch lift on the jeep!

I have herd things about needed extended drive lines and all kinds of stuff. i knwo i need to get a slip yoke eliminator and i need to do someting about the rear drive line, some say i could use a front drive line in the rear if i get a chrystler 8.25 axle and others say i could get a costom drive line made or have a front one cut to the right length, something about needing to joints in the drive line because its to much of an angle and ill go through u-joints? i need to get extended break lines to. also i need a pit man arm right?
what all do i need before i go digging into this project?

What kind of lift are you doing? That will help list the parts you need.

But yea, longer brake lines, sye, double cardon driveshaft, adjustable track bar, drop pitman arm or some sort of upgraded steering.
