Everything except an adjustable track bar, that you'll have to get seperate or relocate your stock one. I just got a nice Iron Rock double shear track bar to go with my lift. But the lift came with the brake line relocation brackets, transfer case drop, and everything else I needed, except same as was mentioned before... bolts that break taking off old parts. Usually the leaf spring bolts and upper rear shock bolts, we know ways to get you past that stuff once it happens though. The transfer case drop is simple, again, prividing you don't break any of the 4 bolts holding your crossmember in.
