Default converting 2" OME lift to 4"

I have currently got a 2" OME lift kit and was thinking of adding some 2" spaces to essentially make a 4" lift. What is needed to make this work? (ie. control arms? dropped pit arm bracket, brake line extensions?, track bars?, bump stops)

Is it necessary to change the control arms? Also, could I get away with keeping the existing shocks?
