These are very commonly asked questions, and a brief time searching Discoweb should yield many good opinions and discussions that may answer your questions. Also the tech area (menu above) is a great resource.

Search, search, search... questions have been answered over and over again.

1. If you plan to offroad, yes.
2. HD OME lift would do it, with a little trimming or moving in the rear.
3. To recover proper gear ratio and RPMs 4.11 works
4. CVs & rear axels should be alright with that size, but it is a very wise thing to upgrade if you have the money and it cannot hurt you.
5. You should not need anything else with that lift. Always nice to do shocks at the same time, (see the boys over at EE www.expeditionexchange.com) There is the chance you could experience drive-line vibration... but Im done.

Do a search.
