Yes, will need new brake lines + front and rear drive shaft if you wheel it. You don't have to do the drive shafts right away, but plan on replacing them soon after.

4 door you only need the front drive shaft. 2 door needs both.

Any quality kit will come with brake line relocation brackets. Depending on your wheels, you might need wheel spacers. If the 12's are like the older ones a little trimmimg of the pinch seam may be needed. Make sure you get an AEV procal to reprogram the computer for the tire size.

You would need at least:

Brake line extension brackets
Rear track bar bracket,preferably the ones that bolt to the frame
Exhaust extensions to help clear the driveshaft issue
Procal to calibrate your speedo & tire size
Move your rear sway bar links to the front and get longer sway bar links for the rear.
2" bump stops

Some quality lift kits offer the parts I mentioned except for the Procal..
