In the link it says that it comes with a 4" block in the back. Are you not wanting to use the blocks and go with new leafs instead? I think there are a couple of site sponsors that might have the leafs that you are looking for.

Don't listen to the huge internet hype. Blocks will be fine for you and this application. Tons of people run and wheel blocks without problems. No, they are not as good as new rear lift springs and do not give you better suspensino performance, but unless you are rock crawling every weekend and love the skinny pedal, blocks should be fine. Anyone running a Chevy spring swap most likely has a lift block and there are tons of people with the Chevy swap as well.
Speaking of the Chevy swap, read this and see if it's something you could do/want to do if you want a better rear suspension.

Various companies also make bolt in lift leaf springs for our toyotas, skyjacker, procomp etc...

I put blocks in my rear end. They work find for what i do..new leafs are always better tho dude..thats a given. When you buy the kit it will come with new a-arms. Regardless of how many more inches you go, your going to need drop down brackets for your bump stops, drop downs for ur dif, ur sway bar, ur brake lines, possibly an extra lower crossbar..some other stuff too..an IFS lift as you probably already know gets annoying sometimes. I used trailmasters set. It didnt come with all the right bolts and i had to cut parts from my suspension to get new ones to fit..not sure if u ran into that problem but...with all that aside i reccomend their kit its pretty solid.

Lol. Couldn't resist. That's sig worthy.
Um, what kit are you lookiing at? The Rough Country lift doesn't come with A-arms to my knowledge.
Um, it comes with that stuff. Did you look at the pic?
