Not sure what came with your kit, but you should consider:
Brakelines, SYE/driveshaft, Control arms/and angles, bigger tires=bigger axles, steering angles.
Other than that small stuff, yeah it will work.

This is sitting on a 4.5 lift and I added the 2 inch spacer up front with adjustable upper and lower arms. In the back I added 1.5 inch shackles and a 1 inch block. The steering angle is my main concern at the moment. It is at the point of full extension on level ground and will bind when flexed. 33x12.50x15 tires
