You will also need longer control arms, so the front axle will be in the right spot when you are done. Getting a lift that comes with the longer arms is the hot ticket. (and I am referring to the ones that relocate the rear mounting bracket for the control arms.)

Stock driveshafts should be fine.

Do you really want to stack blocks that tall on your rear axle though? You already have a three inch block in there.......

drop pitman arm is a good idea.
