Default Xj advice

So i need advice. i had a 4.5 lift on my xj with stock steering. all i had were lower control arms. well my friend gave me his old rustys 6.5 inch springs. i ordered a 4.5 leaf pack and i already have shackles on. i also ordered adjustable lower and upper control arms, extended brake lines, adjustable trac bar, new shocks and a pitman arm drop. is there something i am overlooking, or does that look about right?

what about drop brackets or long arms? if you do a pitman arm drop you need an equal drop for the track bar to keep your angles correct

It'll ride better with those adjustable arms.
