Default Combination body/suspension lift?

I'm going to be putting a 3" RC lift with new leaf packs into my Jeep when it's ready for that. The question I have is if I also use longer shackles and coil spacers to get to about 5" of lift, what will I need to change out? We need to replace the rear leaf spring shackles anyway. We are already replacing every U joint in the thing so hopefully that will help from the get go.

I'm guessing (and it's only a guess) maybe some YJ brake lines, a TC drop if the drive angles don't line up, and extensions for my shifter/tc lever.

Am I missing anything here?

You'll need an adjustable track bar and a drop pitman arm as well

also adjustable upper and lower control arms so you can dial the axle in or just get the 5 inch lift should come with them
