There is the fuel filler (not too sure on the extra cabs)
Steering rod loosen at the uni inside cab and/or at the box
Prob your radiator hoses Plus remove lower half of fan shroud
4wd and gearbox stick may have to be bent slightly
Watch steel lines just under the brake master cyl where they spiral they should just spread a little..
Watch induction hose air cleaner- manifold may stretch
If manual check clutch slave cyl hose may stretch

then adjust bullbar/bumper if needed

If i have forgotten anthing else i sure some1 on here will pick up on it :D :D

steering, I would loosen both ends and then after lift check if the shaft is long enough, some are some aren`t.

wires, check they aren`t to tight

little stick should be ok, gear stick normaly needs attending to

fuel lines, as they go from chassi mounted to body mounted then back to chassi mounted

handbrake cable, normaly needs one clip undoing, well thats all it needed on mine.

acclerator cable, maybe? I don`t know as mine has electric speedo so its just a wire :D

ummm thats all can think of for now that hasn`t been meantioned above.
