lower control arms, your stock lowers won't be long enough, also, i would go with full leaf springs, not an AAL, they're junk IMO, you will also need either a t case drop or sye
at 4.5 a t case drop will be fine, you will also want to relocate youre brake lines, or get longer ones

Buy good parts if you are going wheeling, and you don't want to be stuck out on the trail with these cheap lift parts. Rubicon express has good products for a fair price(that is what I will suggest to buy). There is a vendor on here called SeriousOffroad who sells these items at good prices. Check him out.

Wait until you can afford to do it right, don't rig it & hope for the best. If you really want 4 1/2" that means you start and over and throw the 1 1/2" stuff away. Might as well just do 6" & be done with it.
