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

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.
