Default 2wd 4 inch spindle lift.. Need help!

Hey guys I have a 04 Dodge Ram 1500 2wd. I bought a 4 inch spindle lift but the company gave me the wrong extended brake lines. My question is; Can I lift my truck with my factory brake lines or do I really need the extended?

Yea someone was telling me I can turn the end of the hose that's connected to the caliber and I should have enough slack to make it work since it's only 4 inches. I'm not trying to go off road, I just want to sit up higher lol.
