You will want to move your rear sway bar links to the front and buy longer ones for the rear. Also, if you have a little extra $, adj trackbars will keep you from having to use re-location brackets that tend to weaken the already under par trackbar supports.

The complete lift contains:
Front coils
Rear coils
Rear trackbar relocation bracket (with inner spacer tube)
Rear brakeline brackets
front bumpstops
rear bumpstops
front shock extensions (with 2 large fender washers)
Rear shock extensions
Rear swaybar links

These might only come if you get the longer shocks:
Rear 1/2" spacers with guide post
Rear spring retainers

Did I miss anything anybody?

They arn't included with that Teraflex lift and at 2.5" really not "required". That said, control arms are deffinatly nice to add on to dial in the front and allow for aftermarket rear driveshafts down the road.
