Yes you will need new control arms, track bar drop bracket or adjustable bar, pitman arm drop, longer front shocks. You are essentially putting a 5" lift in your truck by doing that set-up. You will want to get to some lift for the back, as you will be nose high as well.

Control arms?? It has a solid front axle

For the rear i was going to ad a leaf or 2 or put lift blocks in

The control arms are the metal arms that attach the axel to the frame of the truck, I think

Yes control arms. You'll need them to properly center the axle.

For the rear i was going to ad a leaf or 2 or put lift blocks in

Get a 2" add a leaf.

Control arms aren't just for IFS. Personally I would skip it, and do a proper 5 inch kit if you want a full 5 inches.

You won't find any for a 2wd. Best you're gonna do is a 2.5" spacer IIRC
