Default Lifting my 96

I'm getting a 3" lift kit and it comes with 3" Coils, Add-a-leaf, and new shocks. I am going to add that to my 2" budget lift so i've got 5" total. Now I know I'm going to have to get extended break lines, but do yall recommend anything else like lower control arms or anything? Some say no, some say yes. I just want to get some more opinions before hand you know? Just let me know what you think. Here it is at 2" with 30" BFG ATs. Imma cut the fenders and get 16x8 rims and 33" Mud Grapplers after the lift.

yea im gettin the trackbar for christmas haha. control arms will be next. sye is not needed yet because my transfer case is screwed up so i'll just get all those at the same time. didn't know about the leafs though so thanks. i think i might just go the cheaper route and get shackles if they sag. thanks guys.

also, where do you recommend getting the arms from? i'm not tryin to spend out the butt on parts cuz i'm in college and its not exactly free! haha i've been lookin at a few places, but if you've got a place that i can get some cheaper parts that'll hold up then thatd be great. i don't do rock crawling or extreme trailing so i don't need anything super tough.
