If you are going 6" you are going to need to go with either long arms or Y-link up front.. Definitely new leaf packs, trackbar, sway bar disconnects, SYE & driveshaft, shocks coils and hmm probably some other things which will come in the kit itself.. Above all I would strongly suggest a longarm or y-link front end. The short control arms are not gonna work well at 6" of lift.. You will also need a drop pitman arm.

Lifts I would look at are RE or Rustys offroad and there are a few others that specialize in longarm and y-link systems..

If you cannot afford long arms (they can be costly), you can go with drop brackets from rough country. I would seriously invest in one of the two at that height.
