lifting it with a 2.5" susp. lift, a 1" body lift
and running 35's. My ? is will I need to do
anything to the pitman arm, brake hoses or
anything else after i do the lift? also I plan to
use the skyjacker lift will I still need the
3/4 spacers to level it or does the new springs
compansate for this.
thanks for any help

Can't help you with the spring question, but no, don't touch your Pittman Arm because at 2.5", you don't need to. Extended brake lines are always a good idea, but so long as the kit comes with bump stop extensions, you shouldn't need them.

No pitman
No brake lines (kit might include longer brackets)
If you plan on adding an after market front bumper or winch you'll need a spacer up front. If you don't add a spacer (and keep stock bumpers etc.) I imagine your Jeep would have a similar to stock rack up front.
If SkyJacker's JK stuff is anything like their TJ stuff, the springs will sag over time.
BUT...Every Jeep is different. Don't take my word as gospel.
