Red face Things required for a small lift.

Sorry to ask, I searched and got info overload. I want to do a small lift, thinking about BJ spacers and 3" springs. If I do this and get 1.5-2 inches up front and 2-3 in the rear, am I going to need new shocks, brake line, etc? How much lift can I get before having to buy new all the other stuff, shocks, lines, steering correction, etc.

Thanks for the patience.

Brake line should be alright, steering wont be an issue (you will want an alignment after installation) you will want new shocks though.

Any specific style/size of shock I should go with? Also, how much lift can be done with little to no modifying the brake lines and steering?

Yeah, if your going to lift it 2-3 you shouldnt have to worry about brake lines.
