if your only going to lift the rear four inches i would go with a aal, or different springs.
Or someone a few days ago puta thing where you could do a 8 inch shackle flip, and then lose the stock block for a four inch lift and then you would buy a zero rate block. I think that setup would minimize any axle hop.

ive bought 2 inch spacers from topguncustoms before and they were by no way cheap or weak looking but there is no way i would buy a 5 inch spacer... thats much tourgue and leverage on something like that especially if you plan on doing anything hardcore would only lead to disaster that is for the ocasional driver who just wants a high truck to run through town with and get some looks....

Just to let you guys know. I have the 6" Dick Cepek long arm set up and it is a very involved install. Most sites have their directions on the site. It is a good idea to look them over before purchasing.

here are the arms that you need to buy. (I think to install these you have to weld a bracket on the frame. If you do not have a welder, be prepared to pay someone to do it for you.
Yes you will need brake lines. I think you can buy them at skyjacker.com
As for the sway bar, buy longer links for a TJ. What I would do is get the whole thing done, and then drive it to an offroad shop, and they will be able to measure to see how long yours will need to be.
The only thing I can see that you are missing is a track bar. I see that you found a bracket, but I would personally buy an adjustable track bar. I think it would be much stronger this way.
