Default Do I have everything for a 4.5" lift?

Alright yall. Within the last 2 weeks I've been ordering everything for my 4.5" lift. So far this is what I ordered and have.
FRONT
-4.5" coils
-2 4.5" shocks
-RE1600 Adj. Track bar
REAR
-3.5" Rustys AAL
-1.5" Shackles
-2 4.5" RC shocks

The only thing I thought of that I might possibly need is brake line extension ( Might have some ). And a steering stabalizer ( mines stock).



Please let me know if im missing something! Thanks!

It will work if its just on the road only but just go get some yj brake lines at the parts store or some Chevy lines from 1500 2wd trucks. They are plenty long and a little cheaper.
