See if the brake lines still have some slack at full droop, if so, they are fine, it not get longer ones.

Also i want to get a little bit more lift, so if i do new shackles say 2" longer than stock what will that do for me?

About an inch of lift:

See above, if you have less than 1" of slack in the lines now, you'll need longer ones with longer shackles.

Also i read somewhere that you can remount the brake mounts so that u dont have to buy longer brake lines, is that true?

Yes. you can cut the stock hard line brackets off the top of the frame and weld them on lower on the frame rail to gain a few inches.
