Leaf spring question

Im gonna be replacing my rear leaf springs sometime soon one of them is snapped and there sagging bad. What should i get for replacements? im thinking about gettin some that give me 2 inches or so of life and trowing on some bj spacers on the front. Which springs should i go with. And if i do 2 Inches of lift will i need to extend the break lines? and will it mess up my drive line angles? Any insight would be very helpfull o ya its a 91 3.Slow 4x4

How much performance are you trying to gain, or will it be more for looks? There are several different options as far as brands go. I would probably do OME springs and shocks, you shouldn't have to get longer brake lines but would recommend some steel braided lines anyway.
