Yep, faq's are a good place to start. And copy the top pic here to your desktop for reference.

But...
MOPARŽ Performance 2" Lift Kit with Bilstein Shocks
* Coil Springs
* Front Track Bar (axles are pushed over to one side after a lift, this re-centers them)
* Brake Line Brackets (brake lines are stretched too tight, these give them more room)
* Cam Bolts (front caster is too low after a lift, causing flighty handling and bumpsteer - these are arguably the worst of the 3 options for correcting caster)
* Rear Track Bar Bracket (same function as the new front trackbar, but it's a spacer bracket instead of a new bar)
* Steering Stabilizer (heavier duty than stock)
* Shocks (longer than stock)
* Sway Bar Links (after the lift, your swaybars will be pointed down, you want them level, so new longer links)
* Bump Stops ( prevent tires from contacting the fenders, and prevent the coils/shocks from over-compressing)
