looks like everything is there, the cheapest 6" lift i know if is RC and they are $500. like he said though, the shocks should probably be replaced. you just need to make sure nothing is bent/cracked, then whip out $200 and watch him bite lol.

Ehh, get that stuff as cheap as possible. For as much effort as a lift kit takes to put on, I'd want everything to be new. It looks like you'll have to purchase all the necessary bolts and mounting hardware including new u bolts, center pins, etc.
