U will need a pair of control arms for the front and rear and a good se of shocks. Also a make sure u have good tierods and steering components. With that amount of lift u will mostlikely be running big tires(35+)

Also get a drive shaft angle reduction kit or a slip yoke eliminator.

You could do a tc drop bu I don't think that it is needed.

8.5" is really tall. You're well into LongArm territory at that height.

Adjustable trackbar
control arm drop brackets


My $.02:
Do it once, do it right.
Save your money and go LongArms when you can afford it. It will save you money and headaches in the long run.

Of course.

Your caster angle will be crap without the proper length upper and lower arms.
