Possible 3 - 4" lift for cheap.. what do I need?

I have a friend who is getting rid of some springs that I believe will net me anwyhere from 3 - 4" (generous guess at the top end) of lift on my TJ. He has some DT 0's he's getting rid of too (he just upped his lift on his ZJ). All of this for next to nothing.
What else will I need? I'm guessing an adjustable front trackbar (I do NOT want to drill a new hole) and a rear trackbar bracket. Also, I believe a transfercase drop kit (or just a few washers for now...) would be needed. Would I need a new drop pitman arm? Anything else? I've thought about keeping my spacers on there adding 2" to the total... Don't know that I'll get use out of THAT much height with my little 4 banger.
Thanks!

Eric;
I just did this lift a few weeks ago. Go here to see the write-up I did for Nathans site.

No new trackbar? I would have thought that to be mandatory... same for the transfer case drop. Wierd..

The axles didn't shift overan appreciable amount. Maybe 1/8 inch or so.
4 banger TJs usually don't need TC drops until you get to 4 inches or more. From what I've been told the driveshaft on the SEs is longer (because of the overall shorter drivetrain) so you can go higher with than a 6 cyl before needing a TC drop.Btw, I always recommend this site to fellow 4bangers:
