Need help before purchase

Hey guys i posted this on the powerstrokenation forum but they never respond. Going from having an f150 on this forum and always getting replies and suggestions to a f250 6.0l and never getting any reponses on powerstoke nation is really frustrating. But here we go.
I got a 2006 F250 FX4 CC 6.0L and im about to buy:

8" Rize 4 Link with dual steering stabilizer
38x14r24 Kuhmo MT or 38x13.5r24 Nitto Trail Grappler
24x12 Xd Rockstars Black

Is there anything else i need to complete this kit because im installing my self and dont want any hangups as this is my DD.
Extended brake lines, longer drive shaft, shims, etc..

Thanks guys

You might want to make sure the brake lines come with the kit. I know rize has been splitting kits up funny now a days selling blocks, brake lines, etc separately. As far as getting it installed you should be good to go, driveline stuff can come later as long as the driveshaft isn't falling out. You might also want to get the drive line checked out and possibly see about getting the axle shimmed. I never shimmed mine till recently and it made a world of difference!

Yeah you're definitely going to need to shim the rear axle. That's easy to do though.

I'm pretty sure the 8" kits come with the drive shaft shims, if not i think the shim kit costs around $45 extra

It does not come with it but it recommends the carrier bearing shim kit for the supercrew trucks (For 2 piece drive shafts). Is that it.
