    If you will be wheeling the truck the brake lines would be a good idea. U bolts would be a good decision too when replacing leafs. ToyTec or wheelers should have what you are looking for.

    You are not getting much traffic because you are lacking quite a bit of info. to get any answers. Also through searching quite a bit of the information you need could be found.

    How much lift do you have in front presently?
    Is there room to adjust?
    Are your Fox's in the rear or front?
    How long are they now you might need longer shocks?
    New longer U bolts are needed. You might consider a flip?
    New extended brake lines are needed.
    Depending on what you want to do with the truck might also influence the springs you purchase.
    Just for show?
    Off roading? What type?
    Baja style?
    Expedition style?
    Rock crawling?
    Or just MCing?

    Things to think about.

    A-ha! I wouldn't think he would need the brake lines for MCing then. New springs and new extended U bolts and he's good for that.

    I have a leveling kit in the front but im taking it off soon and i believe my rear fox shocks are 2.0 piggybacks, and i was strongly considering a ubolt flip kit too. I pretty much wheel twice a day because the road to my house is RIDICULOUSLY bad so it beats my truck twice a day:( im just wondering what i would need, besides my (rear) fox shocks, if i were installing lets say all pro standard leafs.
