A guy in my company is going from a 4" to 6" long arm kit.
Selling me his Skyjacker 4" coils, shocks, and lower arms for $50.
Says he has broken and/or welded other parts on the original kit.
Do I need trackbar brackets or should I go with an adjustable trackbar?
I'll get new brake lines.
Anything else I'll need?

at 4" of lift, what i would recommend you get in addition to this are a set of adjustable lower front control arms, longer links front and rear (i think you've mentioned that you have this covered), longer brake lines front and rear or at the very least, extensions, adjustable front and rear track bars (or at the very least, a front one and rear track bar drop bracket) and if you have an automatic, a new u-joint style front drive shaft. without it, you will hit your auto tranny pan and tear off the spline shaft boot. if you can afford it, i would also get a front track bar drop bracket and dropped pitman arm.

the coils and shocks are a good deal however, i would ditch the arms as they are junk and you will be replacing bushings on them all the time. also, as mentioned, i'm pretty sure they are fixed length and that won't help you out any.
