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.

X2 on the OME's. If you want some Heavy Duty (read harsh riding) springs go with NWOR...
