Granted stainless lines are an upgrade in general but I wouldn't say that you "NEED" to get them.
Well in my case (not saying everyone gets the same lines with they're RK kits) I gained at LEAST 6 inches of brake line. Mine can still be moved at full flex meaning they aren't being pulled on by flexing.

Love my RK 2.5" MT with Bilstein 5100's.

General rule with lifts is to pay as much up front as you can. But yeah, at least RK lifts are all upgradeable.
