If I get 4" lift springs, do I need extended brake lines, a new steering arm, longer shocks?
Also what do I need if I get 6" lift springs?

With these two different sizes can I run stock length stuff or do I need longer ones, also how about lengthening the driveshafts? I have a 10b/12b with a 208 case.
 
are you going for flex or just looking pretty?

FLEX:

id go atleast 3/4 ton axles (full float rear), 56" springs in the front (equals about 4"lift with 7.25" shackle longer shocks, new bumpstops, and lengthend driveline, longer brakelines). for the rear go with a shackle flip (this also nets 4" lift, longer brake lines, longer driveline, longer and relocated shocks). for steering go with atleast crossover with DOM tie rod, and a 2wd steering box with ORD steering brace.

you can buy all this new or from vendors or just about all can be had on the cheap and still be good quality.

LOOKING PRETTY:

just throw 4 inch lift springs all the way around, relocate brake lines, new shocks, and polish them wheels.

all of this is my own opinion.
 
4 inch you will need longer shocks and a raised steering arm. might have to lenghten driveshafts.

6 in you will need all of the above plus longer brakelines and longer shafts.
