diff drop yes,
extended brake line, no
extended panhard bar yes,

I wheeled the snot out of mine without doing the extended brake line, its sitting in my garage in a box at the moment never to get installed prabably.

Do you have to do diff drop with a 1.5 inch lift? Whats the most you can lift without a diff drop?

with any lift, you should do the diff drop. itll help bring things back towards norm. geometry to protect your cv's. ...and with its price of like 50 bucks, why wouldnt you do it?
