Welcome to DF

Is there an lift in the truck already? If not then yes you will need more parts, IE drop pitman arm, trac-bar bracket or a complete new trac-bar set-up, new longer shocks. If going over 7" then a t case re-clocking ring, possible longer front drive-shaft, longer brake lines. You need to be clearer about what's going on please.

Upload your pics to someplace like photobucket, or imageshack, then just copy/paste the image links to your post.
