I just wanted to make sure, and I like what I read on here and you guys sound like you know what you are doin so any advice would greatly be appreciated

Your brake lines will be fine and the tires will too.

I did that same thing and the lift included new springs. At first they really added 2.5 inches, and the break lines were about as far as they would go. They were fine as is but anymore would have been too much.

My front break lines are fine but the rears were a little tighter than I liked at full flex, I added Teraflex relocation brackets and have plenty of slack now.
