I doubt that the brake lines will be an issue. I'm almost sure they won't.

I'll have to post a picture of my truck once I get it finished up this week. I did a 4" Rancho suspension lift and a 3" Performance Accessories body lift with ProComp Xtreme All Terrain 35x12.50x17 tires.
I think it's gonna look pretty slick once it's finished!

You will not need to upgrade brake lines....won't need to do that until you go over 6" of suspension

Yea you'll need longer shocks. The only company that makes longer shocks for our 2wds I found was skyjacker. I just bought a set for the front. You won't have to touch the brake lines. However you'll have to extend your transmission linkage with the body lift. I finished mine last weekend and it came out great!
