Default What other parts will I need?

I am thiking about putting a 6" lift on a 80's model 1/2 ton chevy truck, and would like to know what other parts i will need. It comes with brakline extensions and skyjacker says it dont need a longer driveline. All i can think of is drop link sway bar, but i dont even know if i need that. Please speak from experience. If i do need any other parts please tell me where i can get them at. Here is the kit im looking at. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/6-73-...Q5fAccessories

Are you looking at a suspension lift or body? This will determine what parts you need!

I looked at the ebay listing and you will need the steering arm and drag link as well as shocks, I would be surprised if you didn't need a new drive shaft, but they do say you may need the transfer case lowering kit.

Do they even make a 6" body lift, and would it be easier and cheaper to install?

Don't put in a 6" body lift without a whole lot of suspension lift, you won't like the look.

with 6 inch body lift your probably gone be able to see between your frame and body from one side of the truck to the other lol, would look kinda goofy and it is not gone do you any good beside fit bigger tires, it won't help offroad capability any.
