08 tacoma 4x4 old man emu

i'm looking to put a lift on my 08 tacoma access cab 4x4 4cyl 5 speed manual. had an ome set up in my 86 LC, and loved it. three questions: will the kit level my truck? stock, they are lower in the front and even lower with my arb bumper. is it necessary to get the drive shaft packer differential drop? is it necessary to get longer brake lines and u-bolts?
thanks, been calling couple of places but they seem to be even less educated on the matter.

Im fairly certain that if you are going all OME product you will be getting a max of 2.5in of lift, and from what Im told a diff drop isnt ness. If you are going with 3in lift or more, you DO want a diff drop, which you can get for 30 bucks at toyteclifts.com. I have a lift setup from them using their coils and OME shocks and their diff drop. So far I love the ride. The brake line question all depends on how high you want to go. If you stay with OME then I'd say no. If you go over 2.5, yes to the longer U bolts. If your lift is sagging, you can always get some coil spacers. Like half inchers....
